Ight, I need some help picking an approach for my homelab.

Right now I've got 3 raspberry pis (1gb RAM) always on and 2 optiplexes running proxmox which are only on when needed.

Trying to work out whether I should move everything to one of my proxmox machines and just leave a single pi somewhere running a thing to act as a tiebreaker or just leave as is rn.

I run docker on pis with HA, pihole, some discord bots, status things but am kinda limited rn with RAM.

Possible move from self-hosted

I'm thinking of moving from self hosting. It was fun setting it up, but now it's running it's more routine. I haven't decided firmly yet, but I am thinking about where I might go. This is my thought.

## A UK based service

Something like mastodonapp.uk would have a relevant local feed, good user base for hash search, and local reach for posts. The downside is that some sites might block it due to the online safety act, even though this is unnecessary unless they either target UK users or have a significant number of UK users - in which case they are subject to the act whether or not they federate UK servers!

## A topic based server

I've been thinking about maybe mastodon.green. It has a low monthly charge, just under half what I'm paying for server hosting, though for a couple of £ a month I'd probably keep a VPS anyway. They also plant trees with part of your subscription 🌳

## Another Mitra based server

I like Mitra, it's lightweight and performant and I'm used to the interface. There are a few publicly open instances like wizard.casa and I could go back there. It is where I tried before installing

## Stay self hosted

This is always an option and what I'll do until I decide what to do.

Any suggestions?

How To Make Schema Changes and Not Die Trying
"The most important things to consider while preparing a schema change."
OK, I've got to admit I like the title.

They are scaling up, not down. They don't want you to get off of the roller coaster. They will make their idol. All we can do is fight to make certain we won't bow.
