I don’t want playing sys admin on night and weekends to be a hobby. I also wouldn’t want my hobby to be managing something that has become fairly mission critical in modern life. I want to be able to do my hobbies when I want, not have them demand anything of me, because they break and getting it working again is an emergency.

I know people who run their own email. They don’t self-host, but have a domain and setup email through whatever host they are with. Over the years I’ve seen them run into issues with deliverability, host migrations, spam, hackers, and other such things. It all seems very annoying. Self-hosting would add another layer to that. I simply can’t be bothered.

I like the idea of it, but would hate the reality of it.
