@jerry But #1 in awesomesauceness!
@ladyparabellum that's what I like to think. The people here are AMAZING
@jerry infosec.exchange will be even better in a few days - I wouldn't be me if I didn't host my own instance, right? ;) Lighten your load a bit maybe.. Seriously, though, you've done a fantastic job if it!
@ladyparabellum The fediverse is designed to be federated. You're always welcome here, but I understand the itch to run your own instance...
@jerry I've just run my own usenet server from the beginning to current day, seems like I'd be remiss if I didn't do the same with a few fediverse applications.
@jerry I'm going to start with just a private machine, get my feet wet. But if there comes a time when it makes sense - I have 2x 40 core Xeons and a half a dozen 16 core Xeons here. And a 5gbit/sec symmetric fiber connection. 40gbit fiber floor, and 6x 10gbit/sec fiber links from the firewall. (also a 16 core Xeon) All the Xeons have 2x 10gbit SFP+ and 6x gigabit copper.
femaven@ladyparabellum @jerry goodness that sounds like you’ve got quite the home lab
@ladyparabellum @femaven that’s an impressive bit of hardware. The best I’ve got now is my 32 core Epyc
