Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI’d rent one (small) VPS for $10 a month and split the bill.
We don’t want to pay for a VPS. We’ve been burned by that too often in the past were you go months paying for a minecraft server that noone is using after the first month

Fair enough. I mean for me the equation might be a bit different, I’d pay about 200€ a year in electricity to run 3 efficient computers. And my VPS is only 73€ and I never have to pay for replacement parts (SSDs, harddisks) which I had to replace at home and they have gigabit network, a proper IP address and that’s all way better than what I have at home. So it’s a no-brainer to go for that. But your cost calculation might be different.
