I’m hosting a matrix server it was rough but not impossible. Using conduit as the backend. Now that the setup is finally done it was so worth it. I would do it again if needed. Coturn was easy to set up along side it.

Can we self host loops yet? I’ve been holding out on that one. Not that I use tiktok but I would use loops and could probably get my wife to jump.

Ty for the reply!

Nice good point on piefed ty

Is this like all Lemmy everywhere or just a selection of large instances? Does it account for people that host their own instances and come into the larger spaces to interact? I feel like there’s context missing before jumping to conclusions.

I’ve been curious about running a hardware firewall/router, I’ve seen it discussed but don’t know much about it. I also hear a lot of people swear by their proxmox setups but I am a complete noob there so again more research would be required. What I’ve heard about running a proxmox setup has looked overwhelming at a glance.

yeah a TV box was definitely pretty high up on my possible uses list.

lol I haven’t heard the “RAID is not a backup” before but it’s true I’ll have to see how I would manage that and what data would be a good candidate for this implementation.

I have a ton of handhelds I usually use for this purpose and a pretty powerful workstation I use to run heavier games but I’ve thought about like a tv box setup for doing such activities in the living room. Could be fun.

Another good suggestion. I’ll have to look into how to get this set up I haven’t tackled something like this before.

Thanks I have a dark corner or two, this sounds like an interesting idea.

Thanks for the response. I currently am housing something like 24TB of data give or take so unfortunately I don’t think they’d make effective backups. There’s simply too much. I have my current storage array in RAID6 so that’s my backup solution at the moment.
