@datarama I host my website, Matrix, Forgejo, and a few other things on a GPU-less desktop sitting next to the router. It works surprisingly well, and the 100Mbps ethernet adapter putting a hard limit on speed has not been an issue so far.
@datarama ay... we really need to standardize a higher baseline internet speed worldwide.
Depending on what you want to host, a slow connection may be enough (personal website f.e).
Mastodon however may be heavier (and in my brief experience, balloons up fast in storage requirements!), in that case you'd likely be better off hosting somewhere in the "cloud", seems like you got a lot of responses about that :)
@allpurposemat I live in a city centre in a Nordic country; it's just that fibre rollout has been very, very patchy. (It's very expensive and time-consuming to dig here, compared to suburbs and the countryside.)
@datarama fair, fiber took a long time to arrive in the previous town I lived in due to similar reasons, and it was prohibitively expensive once it finally did.
I hope to see fast internet become accessible to everyone in the future, but we are still quite a ways away from that unfortunately.
@leah
Very cool concept and tempted to jump over, but the upper limit of 100 GB is not ok. Is this a real limit or just a figure of speech? @datarama@ubernauten
@leah@jeroen@datarama However, we can actually talk about making a special offer, which we have already done in the past. But you should be aware that we would still apply the same costs as described here: https://manual.uberspace.de/billing-general/#storage
If you are interested, the best thing to do is to contact hallo@uberspace.de :-)
