the self-hosting rabbit hole is a bottomless pit, isn't it? (sh.itjust.works)

They're using AI for a lot of their posts as well.

WAF has consistently held me down to earth. "What will that enable you to acheive that you can't do already?" With a couple mini pcs and a rpi I'm good. I'd love shiny things, but beyond LLMs there's not much it would enable me to achieve that I can't already.

That, and other hobbies. I don't want to be an amateur system admin during the summer. So all winter long, while I'm tinkering, I'm adding up how much it adds to my maintenance schedule.

I started running everything I could, but found the upkeep a pain. Didnt use most of it.

So I now only keep hosted stuff I use, if I don't access it once it's running then it goes in the bin.

I mean, at one time I went a bit overboard, but now, not so much, With newer technology happening, you don't really need a lot to accomplish a lot.
