Whoa, that got popular. 
@rysiek i mean, its pretty funny
@rysiek It certainly made me chuckle this morning 😁
@rysiek funny, but true. Meaning your statement and the meme itself xD
@rysiek remember to not install a fediverse instance on a Pentium 4
@rysiek 2031 the great rust fungus leaches nutrients from the remnants of civilization
@rysiek I love how this is so obviously a Dutch street 😅🙈
@rysiek bei uns würde da stehen " Herbsthausen since anno xyz" - Isolierung, was ist das ?
@rysiek How many people host fedi instances at home, I mean I could get it for like one person it could work, but I doubt it would work a larger fedi instance

@skymtf it was just a silly joke, playing on the deluge of new users straining fedi quite a bit lately.

That said, we *should* be hosting our tiny personal fedi instances at home. The more distributed fedi becomes, the more resilient it ends up being.

@skymtf @rysiek I recently was thinking about it and with decent hardware and fast internet connection... why not? #selfhosting is the way to go.

@fault1er oh we should absolutely do that if we have the space and resources! THe more decentralized Fediverse gets, the more resilient it becomes.

I was just making a silly joke. 😉

@skymtf

@skymtf @rysiek i have quite a beefy computer that i use as server (which I'd pay like 100€+ if it was on a VPS), connection is not perfect (asymmetric 500/100Mbps, freakin ISP doesn't have symetrical plans even though it's fiber GPON....) but works for most servers.

I have mastodon on a VPS just because, but I'll likely move it to my home server soon as the VPS is running out of processing power and RAM

@rysiek The UK version is of this meme is : "2022: Lottery winner"
@rysiek this is reality, especially since many friends are starting to move from the birdy social network
@rysiek this must be a picture from The Netherlands!
@rysiek Haha that's very good.
@rysiek lolz. Mind you I had some say to me today that in order to run their Mastodon server they need to buy hardware - like virtualization and cloud never happened :p

@michellelaverick virtualization means roughly an order of magnitude less disk io performance, and for an io-heavy service like Mastodon...  

tl;dr virtualization and "cloud" are not silver bullets

That said, people are running small Mastodon instances on Raspberry Pis, so. 😸

@rysiek as ever it’s all about the workload Vs resources. I think we pass the idea that physical hardware is where it’s at from infrastructure perspective. I imagine a scenario where ever home NAS (synology) could mastodon host which services the request of home users. Heck, it might there already…
@rysiek - what i ended up doing was using https://elest.io/ to host micro instance of mastodon on the Hetzner cloud in Germany. That was a darn site easier than a freeium VM on Azure, and manually installing Mastodon (not for the fight hearted - although later I discovered there is an Ansible playbook in yaml I could have run)

@rysiek Just noticed the nickname, Richard equivalent in Polish. I don't see. it often in my timelines.
@harmonicarichard not a very popular name recently, no. Hence, a pretty good nickname.
