Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?

    You could really mess with people and use [email protected] 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 have this one on a Hetzner server that runs me like $6/mo. I’m not comfortable with the federated nature of things potentially putting CSAM or other illegal content on disk in my home.

      I use tailscale so I can still hit my internal (at home) git repos and all that. The rest of my stuff is all hosted on an old gaming PC I turned into a Proxmox host that sits in my spare bedroom. Of those services, I only expose like 3 things to the outside world. Nextcloud being the main one. I don’t route it through my VPS, just proxy it through cloudflare.
