I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?

    If you write the script yourself, just make sure you test it a couple of times, and preferably with different datasets from different runs.
