    Why are people so selfhostphobic?

    Like is it that hard to spin up an SMB on a windows machine and run it 24/7?

      Cloud providers are going to have multiple redundant backups spread across multiple datacenters. A NAS box with the same level of backups will involve much more work. Theres alao dealing with secure external network access. Theres tons of reasons a selfhost is not the best solution.
