Maybe I try to host bad software, maybe I am just bad at computing but at this point I feel like I'm getting too old to constantly debug various issues. I just want certain things to work and I'm willing to pay the price for it 😮‍💨

I’ll never host my own DNS, Email or torrents.

Everything else yes.

    Why not torrents over a VPN, if you have bandwidth to burn?

    I trust my VPS provider more than a VPN. And I want a VPN primarily for privacy, not massive p2p bandwidth or the ability to circumvent geographical restrictions.

    Also my seedbox can run 24/7 with the bandwidth capped and it doesn’t have any effect on my life.

    If my home internet is uploading at full speed, streaming services start to stutter and that’s annoying.

    Depends on what I'm hosting tbh. For most things I'm comfortable self hosting but after a brief spell of hosting my own email I gave that up and went to a paid service.
