   i am way too serverless-brained to host my own instance.
   i most likely will use on of my many domains I've been hoarding. and when i finally decide to host an instance, it would be somewhere i can reach. i don't trust vps with that.

     @mikka Get an old PC from a dumpster and congratulations you now have a home server. Only a matter of time before you come a tech hoarder like me.

     @mikka Should be good enough for a fedi instance tho, even without a NVME

     @SuperDicq i have an optiplex 3050 collecting dust in my room. its an sff one so its gonna be meh when it comes to actual upgradability because god bless proprietary DELL.
     
     ill prob buy a 128gb nvme for boot and put a 4tb drive for root. but even then, I don't have a consistent location to put it. but yeah I guess until the house is sold I got a solid place for it. i just never get myself to buy an nvme.
     
     but lets say I actually have a small labPC to mess around with. id rather rely on well established hosts for decentralised platforms :thinkhappy:

     @mikka My server is so old it doesn't even have PCIe3 yet so I can't even install a NVME card if I wanted to.

     @SuperDicq putting boot and root on the same disk has always seemed risky to me.
     also I hate the fact that the nvme slot doesn't work with msata or whatever that b+m key thing is called.
     
     specs are decent as well when it comes to a homelab computer. so yeah might just give it a shot. i hoard a ton of domains I can use for like you wouldn't believe. i have 20 unused domains.

     @mikka I ran Pleroma on my cdrom.tokyo instance with about 1800 local users on it before my server could no longer handle it (io speed couldn't handle the database anymore).
     
     I will probably revive it once I replace my aging HDDs in my server with (regular sata) SSDs once I have the money to do so.
     
     I just bought a plane ticket to Japan for next year and as you know I still have two cars that I'm restoring so I'm poor.

     @SuperDicq i mean if that makes u happy fuck everyone who thinks that's cringey.

     @mikka I managed to find a 750 euro ticket at FinnAir with a layover in Helsinki 🇫🇮 perkele.
     
     I'm going with two friends and one of them is trans so we didn't want to do a layover in UAE or some other country that beheads trans people.

     @SuperDicq yeah true.
     first thing i'd do in japan myself is probably spent over 500 euros in Akihabara buying random tech.
     
     also jeez just looked up plane ticket prices pooh that's expensive

     @mikka Once you get prescription for your meds you can travel with them.
     
     And also everything you can do in Amsterdam you can do in Groningen. There's bikes, canals, boat tours, coffeeshops...

     @SuperDicq how considerate!! sounds like a good time to be honest, wishing it all works out well for u.
     
     I've been wanting to visit some overseas friends but unfortunately cant because id be arrested for smuggling drugs (god bless dutch transgender healthcare).
     
     but doing stuff with friends is always tons of fun. for example; coming friday 20th my virtual mother and her fiancee will arrive in Amsterdam so ill prob work that week's wednessday so I can plan my Friday free. we're probably going to visit some nice places and museums because they are brits that don't know dutch culture (and I assume they arent gonna find culture in Amsterdam but that's my opinion XD)

     there's no way a normie wants to learn Japanese and is carbrained at the same time without having an underlying obsession with initial d

     @mikka Is it bad that I actually know what "hondosing" means?
     
     I know some people who indeed get their prescription but then compliment it with DIY anyways, such as progesterone.

     @SuperDicq actually there's some good news! last Friday my clinic called me and basically said I'm scheduled the coming Tuesday to have a consult. I've been waiting for two years in queue and I finally got off it. but I will need to probably prove my transness to a billion psychologists before they'll consider hondosing me

     @mikka I know a bunch of other (former) /tttt/ posters unfortunately.
     
     Afaik progesterone is something that they do not prescribe at all in the Netherlands, not even if you're already 30 years old or something like that.

     @SuperDicq its not that bad unless you know all terminology from /tttt/ (thank fuckign god I left that place after being stuck there for 5+ years).
     
     still id rather not be screwed over by the very clinic trying to save me. progesterone is something you do if your puberty has been completed. e.g. ~2 years after having the correct bloodlevels on E.

     fun fact; some /tttt/ posts I've seen we're made by me or a bunch of "friends" so its sometimes really funny seeing a post from a bunch of years ago and recognising yourself. but yeah, horrible place, caused me a ton of anguish.

     @SuperDicq @mikka PCIe is backwards compatible - if the NVME card is PCIe-compliant, it will work fine in a PCIe 2.0 slot, but will just be slower.

     @SuperDicq @mikka PCIe uses more efficient encoding than SATA and the per lane throughtput of PCIe 2.0 is 250 MB/s to 500 MB/s.
     
     SATA 3.0 maxes out at 600 MB/s throughput, thus a 4x link NVME drive will be faster than any SATA SSD.
