Reddit and Twitter are multimillion dollar enterprises

I'm just some fool who rents a little virtual server so I can help people use the fediverse

I mean I'm not even an IT guy by trade (just by hobby) - I'm a truck driver.

It's a good thing it's a virtual server. I can't imagine the issues you would have if you hosted it from the back of your truck.

Hosting from the back of a truck would be a technological marvel in its own right.

It sounds like the plot of an action movie.

"We have to keep this truck above 50mph at all cost"

"OMG, IS IT GONNA EXPLODE?!"

"Oh no much worse. It'll ruin my server uptime stat."

It's possible, but just expensive and unreliable mainly due to internet connection/bandwidth. Depending on where you are you can either go with a sim card or Elon's space junk but the connection would be unreliable and slow.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/OLRldZjty_s

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Sat internet would be the solution. Just costs a lot.

Lmao I'm home every night now (local)

I do host some things at my house, but just for personal use. I don't need a public site running on my home network.
