This chapter explores the journey of self-hosting software services, comparing it to the nuances of homesteading and gardening. The discussion highlights the balance between autonomy and the maintenance challenges inherent in managing various self-hosted solutions, addressing both the allure and responsibilities they entail. The speakers weigh the pros and cons of owning versus renting digital services, particularly in terms of practical use for calendars and photo storage.
Jerod & Adam share our Zulip first impressions, react to Elasticsearch going open source (again), discuss Christian Hollinger’s blog post on why he still self-hosts & answer a listener question: how do we produce podcasts?
