I hate having to run my own backups. That’s been a massively hidden cost behind self hosting that I did not originally account for. Anything sufficiently robust is expensive and anything cheap is unreliable (at least at the scales of data I have, 4k+ RAW videos and photos are massive).
Genuine question, are there any “just hit print” open source printers on the market yet? I don’t have the time for maintaining a printer on it’s own, which is why I’ve enjoyed my A1 mini so much (it just works), but I’m of the same opinion as you and would love a viable open-source alternative.
