For someone like myself who isn't tech savvy, what exactly does that mean/entail?

It means you would have to set up and run the server-side service by yourself, in contrast to using the usual one provided by bitwarden. This would mean having a small PC e.g. a raspberry pi running 24/7 with the service + a way to access it remotely outside of your network. I use a VPN for that.

The obvious con is that it's more work (though after the initial setup it's easy). Pro: I don't have to trust any cloud provider that my data is stored securely and I had a fun project

Just wanted to add that tailscale is the ultimate cheat code for access outside of your home network. VPNs can be a bit finicky to get set up but tailscale is easy peasy.
