@dansup You're welcome (and I'm on a self-hosted
#gotosocial instance here). I say thanks to all the
#Fediverse devs. I too made a contribution, beyond just hosting instances.
For those instance admins facing high hosting costs (especially with relatively large disk space needed), I came up with a way to make hosting gotosocial instances much cheaper, by using an nginx reverse proxy in a new and novel way. Basically, one uses a very cheaply hosted (reverse proxy) server in the cloud, and then a cheap backend server on the LAN (having a much larger disk, which would be otherwise expensive to rent in the cloud), with a
#Wireguard tunnel between them.

#Infosec, and network architecture. I'm open to work!
