In time,

I hope to set up a tiny self hosted instance running on a Raspberry Pi. Containing my personal bubble of interests. In other words it will be my virtual cyber essence.

My cyber-sole/soul if you like, the best bits. Calling my Lemmy/Fediverse instance, Operation Horcrux.

IT is a dream. Expecto Patronum …

    I too hope to host one some day. Can’t right now, but that would very nice. My own personal island. Well, having an account is like your personal island too, but there’s something about hosting your own instance that feels nice. I hope to host my own DNS, reverse-proxy, web server (for the little websites, if I ever write some code), and other services too, someday.

    Cheers

      host my own DNS, reverse proxy, web server, little websites, write some code

      I’ve done all of those and let me tell you: never host your DNS. All the others you listed are worth doing. Self hosting DNS is a lot of pain for little/no gain.

        What do you mean? Pi-Hole + Unbound is a relatively painless setup. Even if you’re running BIND, it’s not hard once you get your configs done the first time.

        I think you might be talking about email (and I do plan to host my email): but I won’t be sending mail through my personal email server. It’s just to receive email in a more private manner instead of some company knowing about what I use/have subscribed to.
