I try to go by the "Wife acceptance factor" (WAF). If it also improves her life and makes it easier, she is more than happy to have it around and even will use it and ask for it to do more things (like the Home Assistant).

Some things I do just to do and for the hell of it. However, I have things like a self-hosted remote support system sort of like log-me-in to help friends and family. It keeps me from having to spend time at family's/friends houses helping them fix their stuff since they are not as techie.

It all has benefits but some of it is annoying sometimes or is not working properly. I self host DNS as well as ad-blocking on the network level. It can block things you want to go to sometimes but mostly works and my Wife knows how to disable or white-list a site now.

As for keyboards, I do have preferences but not nearly as specific. I currently have a setup that I like with MX-Brown's and it works for me. I might prefer something more clicky but I think that might drive my Wife insane even though I have converted her (willingly) to a mechanical keyboard as well.

WAF is a good acronym. I am totally stealing that. I had my own mini-server farm with email, web hosting, etc but I got tired of it. Now I am running some DMZ services but just for me and I have a few different email providers I use. AWS isn't a bad deal. It's not like the 5 eyes fucks couldn't see my shit before I moved some to AWS.

I am rocking a M0115 Apple Enhanced Keyboard with a tinkboy adb to usb connector. Easy to remap keys. But still it's not perfect. I am starting to think what I want doesn't exist.

Running your own email server on-prem is specific to laws passed during the clinton administration that is exactly why Killery is not currently in jail ;)

There are reasons for everything and why I refuse to "cloud host" damn near anything.
