Cost billions and have 10 year lead times?

Use any old computer you have lying around as a server. Use Tailscale to connect to it, and don’t open any ports in your home firewall. Congrats, you’re self-hosting and your risk is minimal.

Strong types are really just healthy, clearly defined boundaries

Encryption has very little overhead; modern CPUs have hardware acceleration for all the common algorithms. What are you doing that’s so performance constrained you can’t tolerate even that?

Typescript got a lot easier for me when I stopped even trying to read the error messages

Typescript gives you better suggestions, red squiggles where you would get errors or bugs if you try to run it, more information about whatever it is you’re using that’s defined somewhere else, and some other neat stuff like project-wide renaming that works every time.

This thread is amazing. My own fuckups:

• Tried upgrading Ubuntu
• Closed laptop while updating

You don’t see most of these errors in situations where screenshots are possible

Bootable thumb drive with a persistent OS installed and preconfigured?

Why you gotta pick on Connor and his girl? Let people love each other don’t be a dick

Not to defend capitalism in general, but it’s really good at answering these sort of “is it worth the cost?” aquestions. The whole point is to allocate scarce resources efficiently; the problem is that it assumes nobody is a scumbag and all the costs are accounted for.

It’s a lot more painful if you don’t know what you’re doing and disregard good advice.

Well then maybe you should also pass on making generalizations about selfhosting?
