    You’ve made 32 comments. 300MB a day must be mostly cache content from other instances that you’re viewing. I don’t see any reason to keep that past 30 days. I might even say 14 days.

    I have a couple hours today. I’ve set up an instance pretty easily. Resources with just me doesn’t seem bad at all. Your other comment about illegal uploads is what’s holding me back from making a public one. Not only do I not want to be a mod, I don’t want to see that shit. I have a hard enough time seeing the thumbnail of some lemmyNSFW before I can block it.

    I love that tailscale/wireguard doesn’t reply to UDP packets without the key. I only have the one UDP port open at my house. All my hosts are on tailscale. Sadily Matrix and Lemmy need to be public public.

    You could really mess with people and use admin@ctrlaltelite.xyz but not have it as the admin account. hah. You host it at home or out “in the cloud”? Curious what others do.

    I have a couple VPSes for my Tailscale exit nodes and one as an ingress/proxy for my selfhosted stuff at home. They’re all super cheap and have unmetered* network connections. Kubernetes on some PIs and Lenovo tinys support all my services at home.

    I’ll have to read about local laws and if I can get in trouble for what the users do/upload. I have no interest in dealing with legal shit… If I’m safe then I’ll have to see how much people charge for storage these days. I don’t really want to run it from my house and I don’t have a lot of disposable income to run it out in the internet somewhere.

    Yeah, Thank you for this.

    It sounds like I’ll also have to store any images my users upload. I’m all for free speech and being anonymous online so I’ll avoid logs and the like but I guess I’ll have to read Canadian law to see if I want to risk running an instance or not. I cant afford a lawyer, nor do I want to deal with anything that goes along with that.

    I’d love to self host one for everyone but not allow communities. The idea would be that I federate with everyone no matter what and leave a what the user wants to sub to up to them. No censorship at all.

    Not having communities would mean I don’t have to worry about what I host and have other instances defederate with me. Plus, I have no interest in being mod, dealing with DCMA,user reports, etc.
