What types of services are you not willing to self-host? (lemmy.world)

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?

A video hosting service. I cant be bothered collecting and storing all that media.

I did this for a couple of years and it became such a major hassle I just closed my server and told everyone to go get their own subscriptions. 30 terra-bytes of data deleted!!

Ouch that's brutal. You must have spent so much money on running all that and so much time collecting all that media.

It's not that hard honestly. I only have one TB though but it really isn't that much of a hassle.

I was the same way for a while, but the last few years have just gotten worse and worse for streaming. I have a handful of streaming services I don't have to pay to access (some through phone provider, prime video, parents accounts, etc), but anything not on there I'm just going to pirate. I use sonarr/radarr with Plex so it's super easy to get and maintain media and it's easy to access on all my devices, and my 4 tb hdd was $100, which I more than made up for after 4 months or so by not paying for hbo max and Netflix. No way in hell I'm going to pay for every streaming service for every show that looks good, or buy them individually.
