Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

It may or may not be a concern to you, but if you are hosting it from your home then people will be able to determine your IP and rough physical location.
If you're on American cable internet and expecting a lot of traffic, your upload speed may become a problem.
Your first point is a good point. I guess it’s ok for now if my rough location is accessible. It’s not like my art is worth anything.
Regarding upload speed, yeah I know it could become an issue but since it’s just a portfolio website, I don’t expect more than a dozen visits a month.
scraping bots are expected to visit it, nowadays more than in previous years. a few of them are search engines, but there's a lot of scraping for AI training, both on text and image data.
