    Reminder that “self hosting” media is an extra step, you can do the same with “saving media locally and playing it”

      The author actually explains that his original solution was just saving them locally on his phone and playing them from there, but that was too much legwork for his wife to want to switch from a cloud service like Audible. So the whole self hosting part is to become “Audible” for his wife lol.

        I feel like the answer to the question “why are you self-hosting” is almost always “because my significant other/family/friends use it”
