  • Thank you! Your tech analysis mirrors much of my own and your build of matrix mirrors some proofs I’m working. It is wonderful to see what others are doing. Thank you for sharing.

    I am hosting on vultr and deployed synapse, postgres, and a signal bridge on a 2 gb mem, single core VM. It is simple but effective for learning. It is about 12$ per month.

    My next build will be docker based. Reverse proxies are a weakness of mine so I am trying to upskill before I make the change and advertise my setup as prod to family and friends :)

    I’d prefer to run everything from my homelab, but I don’t have the infosec confidence to open my home network. The costs of cloud will never beat the salvaged comps I get at university surplus ;_;

Success would depend on the project being a collective work though. Me working with the collectives to meet the challenges of the project over a loosely defined set of time.

    I think the above could be a big success. On the opposite side, I would not count on the collective to host and maintain my personal tech stack. Maybe I’d pay them to advise, but little more
