I already have plenty of hobbies, though -- the ones I want to write about on my blog. I don't need self-hosting to be a new hobby.
I would love if I could pay a "gardener" to maintain my self-hosted stuff. My hardware (that's one hobby!), my bandwidth, my choice of non-invasive species (informed by consultation with the gardener, which ones they'd like to maintain), but ultimately someone else does the planting, the weeding, the single sign-on integration, the updates.
Maybe just don't overcomplicate things and you won't need to hire a gardener. A static website is not that hard and you can minimize how much infrastructure you need to maintain yourself to pretty much zero.
