It doesn't. There's seemingly no connection between the handful of examples of self-hosting software actually getting worse, and the earlier point about hardware costs.

I suppose writing an article title is hard. The article could be about a few different related things. The hardware and the software side of it.
That’s about all I’ll say though, not my article.

#8Maybe I'm missing something here: the great thing about self-hosting is that you choose if and when you update your back-end software. What's stopping self-hosting admins from simply staying on a known good version and forking that if they so desire?

#9in the last 5-10yrs...letsencrypt made ssl much easier..and its possible to host on small,cheap arm devices...
yes no more dyndns free accounts... but u can still use afraid or do cf tunnels maybe?
and in some cases nowadays u can get away with
docker-compose up
and some of those things like minio and mattermost are complaints about the free tier or complaints about self hosting? i can't tell
indeed the easiest "self hosting" ever was when ngrok happened.. u could get ur port listening on the internet without a sign up... by just running a single binary without a flag...

#10time marches forward but instead of progress we go backwards. expect to write your own software on limited resources like its 1990 again.
