    I totally agree. Running a server on a home machine that’s already running 24/7 is trivial. I don’t know why this guy is acting like it’s a big deal. I’ve got a $100 mini-PC running multiple servers already. What’s one more?

      It’s not a BIG deal. I self-host a ton of stuff. It’s just a bigger deal than spending a bit more for phone storage for the vast majority of people.

          I agree. Hence why I wondered why that would be an acceptable option compared to simply changing OPs posted requirements for far less cost and headache.

        Not necessarily. Most people in the US are locked into some kind of ridiculous contract that makes swapping/upgrading their phone a pain in the ass and a financial burden. To be fair, these same types of people probably lack the ability to run a home server so maybe my point is moot 😅
