          Ah, but your hardware is most definitely not free. and even if bought used, and your power is literally completely free, it will likely fail or be too obsolete before any actual savings occur. Not to mention the massive time-sink it quickly becomes (especially in the beginning).

          I’m not saying don’t self host, just don’t think you’ll save any money doing it.
