At the end of 2021, I moved my blog into Linode. The main goal for this was to keep it up in case of disaster or outage at home, and utilize the much better networking of Linode. Here is the post: Moving my Blog from Home to LinodeA while ago

Well, that didn’t take very long at all! As with almost everything, the cloud seems appealing, and then slowly increased in price while the service gets reduced

    I’ve been hosting most of my stuff at my parents home on a old NUC too, but over time that NUC started failing and needed a hard reboot, so it was offline until I got hold of my dad to restart it. I then brought it home so I could reboot it quicker, but then it totally stopped booting and I had to get everything from backup and put it on a Hetzner VPS because I didn’t want to spent so much money buying a new NUC.

    But I agree that hosting from home is really nice, especially when you need a lot of space for your data like I’m doing with my PeerTube instance. Now I pay quite a lot of money to Hetzner to host everything, I think about 50 EUR per month, for that money I could get a new NUC or even something better within a year, so I’m really thinking about what to get which would use very little electricity, would be powerful enough and quiet enough to have running at home.
