For god’s sake can corporations and governments stop trying to control and survey people do the job of parents and society. If parents are not doing their job then you need better awareness and education not to take over.

I think it considered self-hosting as in self-hosting services/software but not the hardware.

I’m currently using a VPS for multiple reasons. Hardware is kinda expensive where I’m currently living. And due to CGNAT I would need to setup a tailscale node or VPN etc somewhere else anyway. Also home internet isn’t reliable at all here and I may need to access my stuff when outside and regardless if my internet is acting up or there’s a blackout.

Although in the future I’m planning on migrating to a dual setup where my core server lives at home and the public front (along with some smaller services and apps) is on a VPS.

I’m not that familiar with video editing but community presets come with a strong community so as open source software becomes better there’s a good chance a community will develop with it and make custom presents, plugins, and forks.

I hate that Adobe has almost a monopoly on a lot of different kinds of programmes.
