    Its true that its someone else’s server but in my case I get phone and photo backups for au$25/year (approx. us$16.50 or €15).

    I manage servers for a living and am happy to pay a relatively small fee for the convenience of having someone else deal with patching, backups, hardware lifecycles.

    I’m glad there are self hosted solutions but its a bit like home bread baking, an interesting hobby for people who are interested or have unique needs - but there are also serviceable options available for purchase at reasonable prices.
