I at least maintain administrative control while using free resources. I looked at the completely self hosted route a long time ago and didn’t want to deal with that. Fast forward to today and I’m dealing with a friend who has the polar opposite. Now their mental faculties are reduced and they lost devices. Couple this with not paying previous management entities and it’s a digital lock out. Recovering from this is a nightmare and I’m operating blind. For a normie this would be impossible.

First, sorry for you and your friend. Mental decline is terrifying and I can only imagine how difficult it is to deal with like that.

Could you say more about what your friend did differently than you and what makes it so difficult? Are/were they self hosting but don't remember how it all works?
