With self hosting you have to trust that you won’t fuck up, that your house or wherever you are hosting won’t lose power when you need it, or burn down or face some other disaster. At the very least you should have an external location, which you also should trust pretty thoroughly.
Also that’s not to mention that open source projects still have security vulnerabilities sometimes, and also sometimes they get a lot less developer attention than profesional projects.
I love self hosting stuff and do a lot of my own computer backups etc. but the most important stuff I rely on professional cloud solutions for. I simply don’t have the resources to be able to compete.
