Running your own server connected to the Internet is not a hobby and nobody should get the impression that it will be. Otherwise you're just making a donation to a DDOS swarm.
- jldugger 6y agoIt hosts a static website with no meaningful network dependencies other than the control plane and letsencrypt. I'm relatively comfortable with the situation.
- AlisdairO 6y agoDo we have any real evidence that hobbyist servers are significant hitters when it comes to DDOSes? The idea that hobbyists shouldn't run a server is, IMO, misguided, and dangerous to the health of the internet. A simple debian VM + nginx + $app_server with automatic updates turned on is not rocket science, and I struggle to see why one shouldn't run that as a hobbyist.
