Yeah, it’s almost exactly the same in terms of software maintence, but of course you don’t actually host anything. I like the idea that, if the WWW goes down, I’ll still be able to control my smart home (locally of course) and such. Using a VPS is like semi-self hosting. I can’t really think of a good term for it, so I can see why it’s still grouped into self hosting.

Yeah, I have dabbled in that with streaming to multiple platforms via a VPS. It definitely is stretching the definition of self hosting.

Ahh, that makes sense. When I think of self hosting, I think of using your own hardware.

What’s the benifit of E2EE file storage on a self hosted server? I use FileBrowser Quantum, and it’s super nice, as I can access the same shared drives that I access at home.

I have a Hisense that I’ve never connected to the internet. It has an input button on the remote, and I just use that to go between inputs. I’m only reminded it’s a smart TV when the power goes out and I see the Google TV boot screen.

Using that would require having my TV connected to the internet, which I refuse to do.
