Yeah I'm always running my self-hosted projects on the smallest and cheapest VPC I can find. But apart from flooding my logs I haven't noticed anything else being too much affected by this. I'm currently improving the observability of my system though, so who knows.
I was just a little concerned. Thanks for answering!
For me running my self-hosted server has been a pain. It took me a while to start getting content, adding relays and so, and still everything feels "dead", with no replies or favorites anywhere.
On top of that it was constantly depleting my machine resources. Yes, it is a small machine but it is a one person server...
Today the containers are stopped and the url returns a 503 error and still get dozens of request per second.
I was so sick of it that when joining Lemmy I just created an account in the biggest server I could find.
Back when I was studying japanese I managed to set a way to download hours of japanese TV to later watch ok my phone. I don't know if it would still work though
I've been self-hosting Pleroma (Mastodon) for a while as a technical challenge and because I thought it would help. But truth is finding content was a nightmare, and apart from that it was taking all the resources in my machine, and also was receiving network requests like crazy.
In comparison, for Lemmy I just joined a big instance and the experience has been much much better.
I guess so, still... I prefer to actively keep myself away from that. I guess it also depend on your age, in your teenage years was more acceptable, but with the age it becomes more and more creepy.
Have casual conversations with other guys about girls appearance, it is a good way to start a conversation and get quick sympathy from other men. But is definitely not right.
I installed immich thinking I could use it to access my entire pictures collection that I had stored on my hard drives only to learn it currently does not support that.
Luckyly I saw the other day there is already a PR in the official repository trying to implement that, so I may wait for a bit to Immich to have this importer.
