| It isn't just for cost savings, but it is also for privacy, convenience, and sanity. For example: Do I really trust Google/Apple with all of my photos? Do I really trust lastpass/onepass/... with all my passwords? Do I really trust Amazon/Google to monitor my home cameras to give me notifications? Do I lose my mind every time feedly changes their interface or nags at me for upsells? Do I get frustrated when my favorite shows (Star Trek/Psych) suddenly leaves Hulu or Prime? Also, I don't know how anyone survives using the internet without pihole (or similar dns blocking), especially on an iphone! For me, knowing my data is in my control, not having software constantly change or nag me, and always being able to access what I want is incredibly important to me (and my SO). I spend minimal time administering my server. Usually I spend about 2-3 hours a quarter to update all my docker images, but other than that, it all runs quite flawlessly. |
