I agree, but you could have posted the link with your comment, no?

90% sure wireguard (the VPN server) is going to need an open port if you want to connect from the outside.

It seems they already know how the community feels 🤣

It is and it isn't. It's super dependant on use case. They bill on operations, not bandwidth. Obviously if you are hosting video/audio to be streamed, that could mean massive savings.

Lots of people, often unknowingly. If you run apt install firefox on Ubuntu, you're getting the snap version.

I'm a software dev with quite a lot of experience in server admin. I'm also a full time Linux user, and run a lot of services both at home and on a rented VPS. I had oddly enough never used Ansible before, but the instructions on that GitHub page should make it pretty simple.

Yeahhhh...

Obviously it can all depend on your requirements, but this N95 system has been pretty eye opening on how much people are over-speccing their builds for home server use. It has 8Gb of memory in it, but I seldom see it use more than 2. The box is doing DNS, Jellyfin, torrenting, VPN, private git, etc.

I used the Lemmy Ansible method to deploy. At the time that I first installed it, it was the recommended method vs a docker compose. It is a little bit of setup, but is pretty simple to get going. Just follow the instructions and it should just work.

It would also result in a metric shit-ton of traffic and data storage.

Really depends how many instances they want to federate with. I run a single user instance for all of my personal Lemmy use. Looks like it is using 20Gb of bandwidth per week, and the VM it runs on only has 32Gb of storage (and it runs other services, too)

Same, but even lower (Beelink N95). My whole stack of two NAS units, mini PC, switch, router, and modem average a load of 50 watts.

Ah, I didn't think about sideloading for remote desktop apps. How do you interact with your PC? Do you have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to the headset?

Immersed is pretty solid. It is quite involved though, which is kind of its greatest strength and weakness. I like this look of native quest 3 windows. It feels very light.
