lessons from xx years of self-hosting:
- build a community, not userbase
- bots cannot predict human folly
- you don't need 42u of metal to serve a website
- communities grow best slow and organically
- quality > quantity
- automate as much as possible
- have your system(s) tell you what's up || down
- add service(s) slowly, understand attack surface(s)
- sandbox || isolate
pids and services when you can
- when this stops becoming fun, revisit self
