It's not paranoid to host your own password manager. It's about not relying on Bitwarden for the most critical service without which I am locked out of pretty much everything. Plus, you get lots of cool features that are only available on bitwarden premium

The mission critical problem cuts both ways.

I've weighed the risks and decided that I'm more comfortable relying on Bitwarden for the most critical service than I am hosting in on my own hardware and counting on my own skills to keep it available. I self host plenty of other things, but having `rm -rf /`'d my hard drive before I don't trust myself more than I trust the folks at Bitwarden.
