By the way my instance costs me ~$5 per month, and the server is barely utilized. The competition between fedi software will eventually drive the price down to almost zero.
By 2030, you will run your own site, and it will be a part of social web.

@pernia @Hyolobrika @randrews @sun_eat3r @Penguinflight It should work on bsd, but as far as I know nobody tried that.
You'll need rust compiler, openssl, postgresql and some kind of web server.

@pernia Yes, libressl should work. Webserver would be needed for HTTPS because Mitra doesn't provide this feature yet. If you're going to run a Tor instance, then webserver is not needed.

@pernia Mitra (the server) can serve its web frontend (or any other collection of static files), you don't need a separate webserver for that.
A separate webserver like nginx is only required for handling HTTPS connections.

@Hyolobrika @randrews @sun_eat3r @Penguinflight The software can be very inefficient (like Mastodon, for which you have to pay more), it can be also be over-complicated and fragile (so you have to spend more time on it). I think people will slowly migrate to servers that are more efficient and simple. The end game is a social web node that doesn't need a domain name at all and runs from your phone.

@pernia Yes, I think that would be a nice feature.
