I inherited an electric one from my FIL. This is very satisfying.
Someone who does this has a strong need for attention and belonging to a particular in‑group that they ignore most societal norms.
They have a very low concern for how distressing or hostile this looks to others, which can overlap with traits like antagonism or narcissism.
What you can reasonably infer from a car like this is: strong identification with polarizing politics, comfort with provoking or upsetting others in public, and a high need to broadcast grievance or hostility; those are compatible with higher dark‑trait scores.
While not specifically “mentally ill”, they exhibit traits that are socially unacceptable and very likely to be irrational, hostile, and generally unstable. But at least they label themselves as someone to avoid at all costs.
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Some things it makes sense to host in your home. Things like large media, home automation, etc. Some things it doesn’t. Like DNS, service that require large amounts of egress (most home internet is very asymmetric), anything with a more public face.
Generally it boils down to privacy and reliability. If it’s private, keep it home. If it needs more reliability, put it on a VPS.
My home hardware is just not reliable enough to host something critical. I have redundant systems but it might take a bit to get stuff back.
This idea of it not being self hosted because it’s on somebody else’s computer is just weird.
