  • I think what he means is that if your backup is triggered from your main server and your main server is compromised the backups can also be attacked immediately. If the backup is requested from the backup machine you will at least have the time between the attack and the next backup to prevent the attack from reaching your backup machines.

    If you don’t plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.

    If you don’t expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).

    If it’s just you and your family (let’s be honest: it’s just you) I would say no.

    The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it’s just a fancy peer to peer network.
