@Tony @dcc @i Oh I know man, or at the very least a server setup to exactly your standards.
I have paranoia issues about the internet, like its state in the future so I hoard data like crazy. Books, games etc.
I like the idea of having a silo of cool shit.

same, but for me I need a "reason" to buy more computer stuff because it's expensive and i can't justify spending the money.
But if someone just needed to host something and I had to buy a giant server rack...i mean...well then i have to.
-
@Tony @dcc @i Yeah for me the biggest hurdle is storage costs. Liek we were talking about earlier a 2 tb ssd runs almost 200 right?
I can string some sbc's together ez but then 5 pi's also gonna cost you.
-
yah, I was just doing some math.
Using my personal ssd as an example (the partition im on is only 200g which is about 50g of my personal stuff) if you were to get some customers who just want single/static website site hosting, or relatively low traffic stuff, you're looking at the $6-$20/month range.
So I currently have enough space to do around two vps with like 4-8g memory and 25g storage which would bring in like $120-$300 per year. Essentially just paying for internet and hardware.
But that being said, a fresh ssd you could fit a lot vps's on it so it it seems like for $200 and a dedicated ssd, you could at least make a little money if you got 5-10 customers.

@Tony @dcc @i Word.
Im eyeballing this LattePanda sigma as kind of a base station. It has 3 m.2 slots so conceivably I could have several terabytes of storage. That might solve a number of my backup issues at least.
But if you can whip up a few vps and start renting them out I would assume it would eventually pay for itself.
You would also be doing a good service to the internet by giving back so to speak.

@ins0mniak @dcc @Tony >$698.00 SBC
you could also buy a couple of ddr3 2U dumpsters instead

@Tony @dcc @i Oh aws is corpo hell.
Remember all those idiots from twitter that came over here when Elon bought it?
I saw these fucking tards trying to set up masto instances on aws and then begging for like 1000's of dollars "to help keep the lights on"
some of that was obvious grift but holy fuck
-
that's my thought too - give people literally any other option besides AWS lol
-
lmao yah i remember that.
AWS is horrible for nickle and diming people from what i've seen
