For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

Mail server, but mostly because deliverability in this day and age is a nightmare. If you're some one off running your own mail server in 2023 be prepared to deal with many headaches around IP reputation.

Nothing really. I'm comfortable hosting mail, chat, my passwords and important documents. However:

Hosting personal/important data for other people is a bit intimidating because you kind of guarantee for safety and availability.

And services that are likely to be misused for illegal stuff and would be too bothersome. Otherwise i might host an anonymous spam eating email-forwarder, maybe a tor exit-node and a forum where adults can practise free speech. But that kind of stuff just attracts the wrong kind of idiots.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
