The only reason I don't want to run a server at home is because (1) everybody else in the market has literally made it impossible to do without spending unacceptable amounts of time administering resources, and (2) spammers/script-kiddies who find exploits in every little fucking nook and crannie.

I actually DO want to self-host all of my resources. I just don't want to spend a career's worth of talent (especially at my age) doing it.
