Yeah, I constantly flip between wanting to self-host and do things myself, and ragequitting that type of thing when this sort of stuff comes up. Paying someone else to screw with all this – at their own best scale – cuts frustration, but obviously comes with a cost that's frustrating every few years when you realize how much money you're sending to someone else to do something you can do. Then once the pendulum swings the other way and you start doing things yourself again you realize the money you're saving is going toward mind-numbing tasks and updates you have to research yourself because someone who isn't dealing with this stuff every day isn't the person doing them.

Absolutely. It's painful spending time and effort on this kind of thing. I even paid $100 for a plugin hoping it would solve my problems... It didn't and then I also had to spend more time trying to get a refund lol.
