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 finally did this today. Well, my instance accepts applications, but right now it’s only me, and I want to keep it small. It wasn’t too hard to deploy, took maybe an hour if you have some Linux knowledge. As for costs, I launched it on a VM with Vultr.com, one of the cheapest ones at $8/month. So far it’s running very well and the CPU usage is below 30% all the time. The benefit of being tiny, I guess. Anyway, what I’m saying is… go for it! It’s relatively easy and cheap.
