To be fair, Amazon could write the exact same things (minus customization) about their platform, saying that you have an online library is different from saying that you can self-hosted it. But it being (F?)OSS can give an hint that there could be the possibility of doing it.

No kidding.

I appreciate and use Open Source, and still I'm recognizatnt of the saying "Open source is only free if your time is worthless".

Luckily the short term self-hostability of many projects has become trivial.

> "Open source is only free if your time is worthless" The main reason to use FOSS software shouldn't be the price: indeed with commercial competitors at a few $/€ per month that require less work on your part one can rightfully wonder if he's saving money with FOSS software. But also control over your tools and not giving away personal data has a value.
