Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    I currently bought an old desktop from a friend that I use as my Homeserver.

    • I bought 3 HDDs for storage
    • I rent a VPS
    • I rented Proton to host mail for my domain, but switched to netcup groupware because that sucked.
    • Some domains
    • Electricity

    Wow I thought it was way more.

    One time costs: ~500€ Monthly costs: ~15€ Plus electricity, but I have solar. I assume it’s about 150€/year

    But I’m a cheap selfhosted, but eventually, I will have a huge ass Enterprise Level Rack in my basement.

        Would be cool if we found some kind of use for the community of people that likes to host network infrastructure. We could be a cdn or share compute, with the power of the federation!
