@BlinkRape the first time i tried running an instance it was using digital ocean. it went well enough, but idk i just didn't really have the need for it i guess. i originally was gonna have all my friends join it because they sounded like they were going to but then nobody did so it was just me and my brother who used it like once a week lol. i think i was paying like, $13/month or something along those lines. they seem pretty good though.

@Tony I see.
I also just noticed that the prices and charts I was looking at are for shared hosting, not a VPS. their VPS option is significantly more expensive. i don't think the shared server stuff works nearly as well for something that's not static.

what are you using for hosting?

@Tony i'm not as worried about storage if it's going to be unlimited anyway, i'm moreso worried about the number of connections needed for federation to work properly and quickly. like, i've heard having relays for instance can slow your instance to a crawl.

for those of you somewhat familiar with running fedi instances, i've been thinking about maybe one day deploying one using DreamHost. it would be maybe like 10 users max. but they have unlimited storage for $14/month and i feel like that's pretty good (or $8 for 50GB). i just am not sure if the server would actually work fast enough for a fediverse instance versus something like static hosting or if there is a better option out there (if they have a lax TOS, which is why i was looking into dreamhost).

still not sure if i'll ever do it, but it's something that's been in the back of my mind so i'm kinda curious.

Especially considering what happened in the New Testament

@arc yeah there are things you can get better and cheaper elsewhere, but some things you really can't beat. I still think it's the best place for cards, gift bags, and balloons for sure.

Prices at Dollar Tree are once again increasing from $1.25 to $1.50 or $1.75 depending on the item. They are still trying to keep everything that isn't the specifically higher-priced items below $2 but it's likely due to the threat of tariffs that prices are increasing this time.

Ted Cruz saying that Christians are commanded to protect Israel because "the Bible says so" but he doesn't even know where in the Bible it says that :meru_meruomegalul: what a fucking retard. You can't wear a cross and a tiny hat, Ted!

@basket this is actually very informative. i had no idea the posterior fornix existed before i saw what she was doing and read her explanation of it. pretty wild.
