"People don't want to run their own servers" is true in 2022. In 1922, it was true that "people don't want to drive their own cars".

@liw Yes, and everyone wanting to drive their own car was a terrible social shift supported by technological advancement. I don't want to live in a world where everyone is a sysadmin.

@liw Looking around at what car ownership has done to the world makes this a somewhat less compelling analogy than you might think.

@liw well I don't see that changing yet as security and complexety mainly increases even if setup is already very easy and configuration/infrastructure ... as code helps for sure there still many issues and not even starting with possible legal problems / depending on what and where you are hosting
