>>About 5 months ago I made the decision to start self hosting my own S3.
It is eleven nines of durability? No. You didn't build S3. You built a cheapo NAS.

Yes, it's obvious, but it's a terrible title. I don't really get the point. It's trivial to have storage however you want an shove the S3 API on top.
"It's trivial to have storage" I'd argue this wasn't trivial for me. Buying $1k of drives+JBOD, acquiring the second hand laptop, getting ZFS working with USB took a couple tries and finally moving my projects to using the dual local network S3 object storage vs cloud S3 took a fair amount of time.
"however you want an shove the S3 API on top." You're right here too. I did find this part pleasantly trivial, which I didn't know before, and hence the article about how pleased I was that this part ended being trivial and has remained trivial once the other parts were setup.
