I've been pondering the long-term sustainability of TasLem.
I'm curious to know if there are any plans or considerations regarding server management and lifecycle. Understanding the future roadmap can help us align our Lemmy strategies.
I'd also appreciate more information on the infrastructure - host, backup strategy, network connectivity. I've done a little investigation, but don't want to run a full pen test...!
I have accounts on a few instances and have been considering setting up my own for data ownership. I don't want to establish myself on a server that will be removed after a few years without the ability to transfer ownership, etc.
Thanks Admin
4 ARM64 cores, 24GB of RAM and 200GB of storage, and some other resources and older x86, for the low low price of free. 10TB outgoing limit, no incoming limit as far as I know. You can setup one or many VPS using the resources.

I have a a full media stack running on one - Plex, Tautulli, Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, Qbittorrent, Jackett among other services like Portainer, YTDL, Traefik. I've seen 8+ streams with 4 or 5 720p transcodes, the CPU is pegged but it keeps up.
For storage I use a combo of services. Rclone, mounting a remote google drive to /mnt/remote. Cloudplow, takes stuff from /mnt/local folder and directly uploads to the remote drive via gdrive API using the same rclone config. And mergerfs, takes the /mnt/remote and /mnt/local folders and combines them into a /mnt/merged folder. The /mnt/merged folder is the main folder for media, downloads, etc. Any writes are first stored in /mnt/local.
I describe that setup to demonstrate the capacity of a free service, of course much less complex for a seedbox.
