Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?
Yeah, I’ll just stick with the mail services. When you start talking about all the complexity to maintain a spam-free environment their value starts to show. I’d rather have more time to self-host other things. I don’t think we realistically as a community self-host every single thing in our life. Although I can def see a case for someone who’s really interested in how email works and just absolutely wants to maintain all those things. I love how self-hosting has become really flexible.
