I selfhost my own stuff. Is this post bait?

Dumb question, what’s the advantage of that over having them stored on hard drives (2 separate ones in case one breaks)? Been casually interested in starting to self host

Honestly, nothing is more secure then a set of disconnected hardrives in a vault with copies at your parents/kids house vaults.
The main benefit of self hosting is accessibility.
Immich (photo server i self host) is just an app on my phone, i can upload pictures from it just like i would on many proprietary clouds.
I can equally use it to view pictures and download/share them using whatever communication app.
Immich is not connected to the internet, i need to be on my home network to use it, much safer.
I do expose a nextcloud server to the web, and gave family members an account. This way we have a secure way to share photo albums and any other files.
