Gregory's Server
@rysiek How many people host fedi instances at home, I mean I could get it for like one person it could work, but I doubt it would work a larger fedi instance

@skymtf @rysiek I recently was thinking about it and with decent hardware and fast internet connection... why not? #selfhosting is the way to go.  @fault1er oh we should absolutely do that if we have the space and resources! THe more decentralized Fediverse gets, the more resilient it becomes. I was just making a silly joke. 😉 @skymtf @rysiek Well, I do that using Proxmox & Cloudflare Tunnels (old name Argo). The only issue is bandwidth & that depends where you live & hence what speed of fibre is available. #selfHosted #selfHosting #SelfHostingEverything #CloudflareTunnels #Proxmox #friendica @zrail @rysiek @skymtf I'm pushing 980Mbits with an upgrade option to 2Gbits (if I remember right). I speed limit each container in #proxmox so I can still watch #AmazonPrime :ms_wink: @rysiek @papertape @skymtf Nice. I keep bugging my ISP every 6 months to see if I can get 6Gbps symmetrical service. So far no dice. Maybe some day. @skymtf @rysiek i have quite a beefy computer that i use as server (which I'd pay like 100€+ if it was on a VPS), connection is not perfect (asymmetric 500/100Mbps, freakin ISP doesn't have symetrical plans even though it's fiber GPON....) but works for most servers. I have mastodon on a VPS just because, but I'll likely move it to my home server soon as the VPS is running out of processing power and RAM |
@skymtf it was just a silly joke, playing on the deluge of new users straining fedi quite a bit lately.
That said, we *should* be hosting our tiny personal fedi instances at home. The more distributed fedi becomes, the more resilient it ends up being.
