self hosting
I just read Eka's post about growing weary of self hosting. It's funny because I just reached out to fellow blogger Khem because in one of his posts he spoke about self hosting music. I love the parity that you find here on Bear Blog. :)
Iām tired of paying these companiesācompanies that keep raising their pricesāwhen itās within my capacity to host my own services, ie. photo storage via Immich, or music via Navidrome.
Everyone has their own tolerance for friction, and that friction comes in different forms; whether that be monetarily, time commitment, or frustration. For me, I find the friction of self-hosting to be fun, and something that is worth my downtime over things like scrolling.
Either way, I enjoy reading everyone's posts on here and getting to know differing ways people go about living life.
