Is self-hosting trap for most makers?

I see so many makers spending weekends setting up n8n, OpenClaw, or Postgres on a VPS. They think they're saving money.

But your time isn't free. SSL certs expire. Updates break things. Backups fail. One 3 am debugging session and you've lost any "savings."

Unless you have compliance reasons, just pay for managed hosting. Am I wrong? Tell me why self-hosting is actually worth it for you.

It’s almost embarrassing how much I like this app - Klack

(I tried submitting this app but it looks like the company already claimed the URL and didn't post the launch? I couldn't find it in search results.)

I m old enough to have used the original clicky IBM and Apple keyboards from the 80 s and 90 s. Since then, laptops are the norm and even external keyboards are silent.
