Ugh, #Linode feels so expensive now for hosting our mastodon server, thinking a lot about just hosting it at home and having Linode host the object storage and front the reverse proxy. We have plenty of hardware and bandwidth (10Gb fiber) here. 🤔
I could also just downsize the linode probably but that would involve shrinking some file systems to fit within the reduced storage or migrating to a new Linode and ugh.
@RainofTerra a little while back we started exploring dedicated VPS at OVH and its incredible how much more expensive cloud stuff is for small deployments.
A Digital Ocean droplet with similar RAM, storage and CPU costs $250/month as an OVH VPS we picked up on sale for $15/mo.
@brooke yeah my Linode was sized before I moved media onto object storage, I could easily fit on a much smaller one now but lazy, and so it I’m going to go to the effort I kind of want to dramatically lower the cost. I’m paying like $1k a year to Linode now and that’s mostly just the mastodon stuff.
