  • Hosting my own instance on my server just because I can. And I have resources.

    If your ISP can give you publicly routed IP address - you can host it too, right from your home!

    • You should use cloudflare tunnel. Helps secure your server and doesn't matter if you don't have a static IP.

      • I shouldn't, but MAY.

        Also I recommend not to use it because relying on fourth party things for accessibility isn't good. Imagine what would happen when cloudflare will "experience technical difficulties" (c)(r)(tm).
