Selfhost everything
A normal fucking doorbell doesn't need any hosting
Yup. Mine is a button that connects to a bell on my wall. It's not rocket surgery.
And it won't snitch on you to the fuzz either
do you have a good place to start? I'm getting a house next month and would like to self host but it seems daunting.
Home assistant, and some zigbee solution (i use a conbee usb stick)
Zigbee and Zwave. Get both sticks.
Also recommend Home Assistant. Their integration page is a great resource when looking to buy products as they'll tell you exactly how your device will connect to it, whether it's local control, cloud control, etc.

Seems the main focus there is on hosting Lemmy instances. I subbed hoping to see stuff about hosting your own domain, media server, storage server, etc but didn't see any posts that weren't about Lemmy.
Be the change you want to see? Lemmy is still a baby and someone's going to have to make those posts or ask those questions if that content is going to show up there.
That will die down. There has been a massive influx due to what's going on with reddit.

awesome-selfhosted on github is a nice place to start :)
You can't self-host Amazon's shopping, and sometimes they're the only ones who carry certain items since they've fucked local retailers for the last 20 years.
But regardless, people should be allowed to use cloud services without fear of being banned whole-hog for pissing off some suit in Seattle.
