self-hosting: running open source code that you could run on any computer.

if it's convenient to run mastodon on hetzner, that's STILL self hosting; because you /can/ move your app IN ITS ENTIRETY from any computer to any other.

HomeLab elites really are the most insufferable people out there.

It doesn't have to be open source. Plex is probably the most popular example of that. MongoDB is also no longer generally considered open source.
