I don’t have a home server yet but I’m exploring and sometimes I get confused about some posts here.

For example I saw a post asking for recommendation for a “self hosted budget management app”. Can’t you just install this type of app to your phone or pc? What’s the purpose here, will you host it and access it from a browser? Or do you only want to backup its data to your server?

I hope I don’t sound stupid please enlighten me.

    Google recently had several cases of - which looks to be a developing situation - user personal data losses in the google drive side of operations

    Thats right, the SaaS infrastructure that is based on storing user data on a cloud system lost about months of user data

    Netflix recently also starting pulling toxic, egregious changes such that its basically insulting to people giving money to them

      Microsoft even has a clause somewhere in their contract regardingn OneDrive/Sharepoint that they cannot or will not guarantee the safety against loss for your data…
