As someone with a strong tech background, that's just impressive to me. It's cool to see non-technical people are interested in self-hosting too, and for good reason.
I didn't say I was good at it. I've used various GUIs that simplify things a bit (Yunohost, CasaOS, ZimaOS, Runtipi, Unraid, TrueNAS, etc. but they all seem to be missing different things that each other have. Yunohost makes things as simple as possible.
Still impressive imo, I have friends who work in IT who don't even self-host lol
I don't blame a lot of IT professionals for not wanting to self host. Especially if they are maintaining services for a living. When you do that same thing you do at work at home it gets very annoying quickly.
