We have so much computing power at home and the chances you have good reliable Internet at home are better than before. I revived 5 year old PCs and it's way too much computing power for my self host needs. I'd have to pay $200+ a month for the same compute power in the cloud. Even a Raspberry Pi with 8GB is capable of running quite a bit for fractions of a penny in electricity.

    My parents have a plethora of old office PC's, so I can't even imagine how people pay those priced to not even own the hardware.

    An RPI can even fairly easily be solar powered if that's ever a concern
