Long before Guy Bartkus’ personal war against life ended with him the sole suspect in blowing up a fertility clinic, and himself, there was a fascination with pyrotechnics.

lol nice domain. Also yeah, running an instance is so so easy. Just follow the lemmy-ansible installation instruction and that's pretty much it.
It can be a bit expensive, but I’m okay with it if it adds another instance choice for people. Switching over to object storage was an absolute lifesaver.
I never thought I’d own a “.yachts” domain lmao.
I love this 😂
I originally wanted
destroying.yachtsbut that was taken.A single user instance, expensive? I'm using a hosted VPS with 1 vCPU, 2 Go RAM, 20 Go disque, and that seems like plenty. Although admittedly I'm not federated with many communities, and mostly just play around with my instance as a toy (it's not this instance, ofc).
Oh sry, I just noticed you do host a few users actually. That's cool. Do the system requirements ramp up much?
I have quite a bit of disk space from before I moved over to object storage. I can’t size it down so I just roll with it. 4gb of RAM, 70gb disk, 2 Intel vCPUs, then a bucket for object storage (dirt cheap which is nice). I mostly use it for myself and have it federated with a variety of servers and communities. I’ve been in tech for years and like offering it. I also have a Matrix server too but that’s pretty tiny.
