thanks. I think I'm done with the move; it may have been intense on the server. from now on my use is expected to be relatively light. please don't hesitate to reach out in case you find my use patterns make for problems on the server.
I hope not. but hopefully it won't be long before I set up my own, and then there will be more. and if all others fall, mine shall be my IRC client (as in https://www.xkcd.com/1782/) into the galactic singularity :-)
I was thinking personal, mainly because I have no clue of how much computing power it would require, but I wouldn't rule out offering access to others. I don't expect to make it public. I wouldn't like to be moderator, I don't want to have power over others.
