I don’t think there are any hard and fast rules for what is self hosting. Lots of people use cloudflare, which would fail both of your criteria as well.
At least with Plex/cloudflare/others, your overall control and privacy is better and more in your control than it would be with other non-self hosted alternatives.

Slop.
100%. They have no idea how their app works, which is especially disturbing when they are pitching it as secure…
Sure, their bots on their own likely dwarf us as well, but even taking them out reddit is dramatically bigger than us.
Lemmy MAUs is in the thousands.

Reddit has a dramatically larger userbase.
Plus, if some is genuinely out to get you, they won’t waste time finding a vaultwarden zeroday, they’ll just bust out the wrenches…
They are also a much bigger target, and can’t hide behind obscurity.
So its 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
You could compile with -march=native to get an optimised build, but its unlikely to show any benefit outside benchmarks.

What makes you think self hosted password managers are any riskier than a cloud hosted one?
Tailscale is probably the right move there in that case. Also OS caching may still cause delays.
DNS is the way around it. But, the caveat is that while you can update your DNS entry as often as you like, itll often be cached on intermediate servers for an unknown amount of time. Expect a downtime of anywhere from a few minutes to days everytime your address changes.
Both is also possible…

Yeah, that’s a problem for sure. But also means that securing Hormuz doesn’t solve anything, because tomorrow the pedo will invade some other oil critical country. Can’t exactly plan around a lunatic.
Still a long way given Norway (and the rest of the north sea oilfields) is right next door.
I’m no mapologist, but getting oil from the straight of Hormuz to the UK seems like an incredibly long way around. Surely the UK gets their oil from elsewhere?
Between this and the 3d printer cabinets made from Lacks, Ikea really made an underrated table.
Cloudflare is free, I thought it was free everywhere.
The description of this community is not a hard rule written in stone, and I would treat it as more of a vibe than a criteria.
If you want to take it literally, then yes, Plex doesn’t count, neither does cloudflare or wordpress. And many other proprietary systems commonly used by the self hosting community.
But I think the spirit of this community is a bit more loose, and there is room for the likes of Plex.
