Nostr Web Client

Omg. I'm actually considering building my own server and collocating.

I have a sickness.

Wtf is collocating

You rent rackspace in a datacenter for your own hardware.

Sounds like serious business 👀

Yes you are right. You have a sickness

You are not helping. 🤣😂

I have the same disease 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣😎🫂

I was just thinking how nice a system with a GPU for transcoding/ML tasks would be. LOL

I tell, it’s cheaper to just hire this capacity when you need it 🐶🐾🫂

I'm jelly if you do 😅

I've considered it too but don't think I can justify the cost.

We’re way past trying to justify addiction in this house brother.

If you do this I'd love to hear what the process is like. Be sure to post about it!

Sure thing. The biggest outlay is the build and setup fees. Depends on what I decide to host on it.

Do you host any public services? Or internal things only?

Outside Bitcoin core and my lightning node everything else is personal things for me and family/friends. My nostr relay is public too I guess.

I'm hosting (publicly):

- A relay

- libretranslate

- PicSur (image hosting)

- An RTMP relay

- A PeerTube instance (down for maintenance)

- A Mastodon instance

Privately:

- NextCloud

- Foundry VTT

- Gitea

Planned:

- Synapse (matrix chat)

- A .net/blazor powered Nostr client (early stages)

- Some other small stuff

Synapse is great. I use that too for private comms. Might be my most used selfhosted service.

Never heard about Foundry VTT. That is super cool!

I was thinking of how multiple locations with synced relays so they all back each other up constantly would work so you wouldn’t have to put your servers into someone else’s datacenter. I think we would need a relay load balancer too.

🧐🤔

I have a few HPE gen 8 blade servers with lightly bent plastic/metal if you want them. I think I have 96gb ram for it laying around too.

I have to get my household moved first. That's rolling along nicely. Tonight is the first time I looked at colocation costs vs. cloud hosting. I was shocked to see I'd likely break even aside from hardware. Compute heavy sucks on the cloud.

I’ve got a colo like 10 mins from me, I regularly run the calc and it always kinda makes sense. Convinence trade off mostly to me.

That's the other issue. I'll have to outsource setup. Could possibly see spending sats on someone who lives near a DC in the future. ;)

Happy to! I do lightweight msp work on the side, remotehands is simple enough. I may even be able to custody the machine myself if something I’m working on works out.
