The cloud is over-engineered and overpriced (no music)

I tried the music and the feedback is clear enough that I think it's worth uploading a version of this with no music. I'm still learning!I'm sorry :( I reall...

For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost.

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

    How seriously do they take it? I’ve been self-hosting stuff for…well for a long time, and It’s been against my tos for almost all of it. The only issue I’ve had has been blocked outbound port 25.

      That’s what I’ve been wondering, like can I just do it anyway? I have Verizon FiOS gigabit, for reference. If they really just don’t care then I don’t mind violating TOS at all, but I wasn’t sure if they do or not

        “Maybe.” You’d have to try and see. I’ve mostly been on the cable networks so YMMV. The first issue would be if they block commonly used ports which should be fairly easy to test.

      Yea and no one should be hosting their own mail server anyway. Just a massive headache.
