- _heimdall 1y agoSure, I have a small homelab and use Tailscale for a similar setup to CF tunnels. That's a bit besides the point though. I'm not saying hosting ActivityPub yourself seems unnecessary, I'm saying that ActivityPub itself seems unnecessary (or at least not worth the costs and overhead).
- gessha 1y agoWith the rising VPS costs I'm starting to wonder if it's better to move my VPS in-house(:D). Electricity-wise I might be break-even but I wonder if the bandwidth I get from my ISP will be the same, not that my services are high-traffic anyway.
- harrison_clarke 1y agothe main issue you'd run into is probably your ISP's NAT you generally need a stable IP, and a firewall that'll let people initiate connections from outside your house
- bigstrat2003 1y agoI find that most ISPs provide that. Generally you have a stable (though not permanently so) IP through DHCP, and most ISPs aren't doing CGNAT.
