As someone that has ran small Linux servers and self-hosted things for a while I think DHH is more right than wrong. There are trade-offs and I use both self-hosting and cloud tools of all kinds. More devs should experiement with Linux and self-hosting. In many ways its never been easier to do.

SaaS prices are going to collapse down to their raw VPS value over time, I'm surprised there's not a bash/cli focused LLM wrapper with an Umbrel-like UI for commodity VPS's already.
Was funny to hear DHH making note of home-labbing, I've always colocated owned equipment as he's been doing... but also recently realized that with fiber to the home + Starlink as a backup, plus Solar generators getting dirt cheap for redundant power, makes it trivial to turn your basement into a Five-9's facility.

Yeah... the options for home-labing are insane now. If you couple this with trading rack space with a friend reciprocally makes this even better.

That's like a gateway drug :)
Love and use both of those projects but there's so much more.

I would love to shift to self-hosting some of the small little websites I run (mostly blogs and personal projects). Just haven't spent the time to learn what I need to do and get it set up.

Time. It is time intensive to learn but like DHH said, its not nuclear science. Its not that hard. I'm not sure what you are doing now but just running a VPS that isn't managed is a good start if you aren't already doing that. Its really a spectrum. Most people don't need AWS IMO. I have nothing against AWS. I've used it and I still use it for a couple things.
I feel like I've come full circle. My first job in IT was managing some websites on a Linux server. I was so green. I've went from that to managed hosting, to AWS, to Serverless, to decoupled systems, and back to self-hosting many of my own apps for personal use. I find it enjoyable now. There are so many tools that make it easier that didn't exist in the 2000s.
