It tends to be more “I want a thing that just works.” rather than no technology, but yes.

Self-hosting services that are reliable and don’t get in my way, not using cloud-connected smart devices, running Linux instead of Windows, etc.

It's sad that self-hosting is apparently the path to having a solution that "just works". You'd think that paying for a product would be more effective, but alas...

I'm starting to realise that a big part of why self hosting works is the customisability of it. There's no financial incentive for Google or whomever to make sure process A has an interface to talk to process B because it's a minority use case in their clientbase.

Self hosting - either someone has already had the same issue and made a plugin or I can create a shim of some description to make the two things talk to each other that wouldn't be practical at scale.
