#5It'll never have an iPhone moment because it doesn't provide a huge leap in functionality like a cheap smartphone does. Good idea, sure, but it just doesn't provide enough of benefits for the hassle.

#6The page won't load for me. And now I'm stuck thinking that this site can't handle the peak load from HN because it's self hosted.
I'm not sure whether that's the case, because I can't read it, but it's and interesting coincidence at least.

#7Did I really just waited couple of seconds on 2 different loading screens to see a small blog post that is more of an advertisement to some AI tool? Also the analogy of something that tries to stay as open as possible (self-hosting) needing its "iPhone" moment to be locked into single ecosystem doesn't really work for me.

#8I've been through an iPhone moment, and I moved past it once I realized that I'm getting screwed and I have no control. Now I'm back to Android (Pixel with GrapheneOS specifically) and self-hosting.

Yes two loading screens, also my first thought.

#10Probably I am wrong but to self-host I need to:
- download docker
- download docker manager (portainer? yacht?)
- configure and download images (some images require some environment variable
It's still like linux cake meme.
- For non-docker images it could require a lot more tinkering
- I am self-hosting, and I know that after setup, initial time they pay-off is so spectacular so that I will never go back
