For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

My own search engine (a meta search engine like searx-ng would be fine though)
a tor exit node, because don't want to deal with the legal hassle (i run snowflake on multiple machines though)
a SMTP relay (recieving email is easy. Sending email is a pain in the ass)

Sending email is super easy as well. Making sure everyone can receive it is such a pain though.
