Do you use all your self hosted services? Are there any you found to be not worth it after installing? (lemmy.world)

I've always been conservative about what kind of services I host because it takes time to get them set up. For example, there's no reason for me to set up music streaming when I only ever listen to music on my phone and all my music files are already on my phone. On the other hand, it's a good learning opportunity to set stuff up and have to fix it when it breaks. What do you think?

Same here. I tried both on a Raspberry Pi, and JellyFin was easier to set up and seemed to work better, at least within the LAN. I uninstalled Plex as soon as JellyFin was ready to go.
