Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control
FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 days agoDefense in depth for one. It looks like this project is made for protecting your data on cloud storage. I’ve noticed right now there seems to be a lot of projects around using relatively cheap S3 storage solutions.

Ahh, that makes sense. When I think of self hosting, I think of using your own hardware.

Saying something is “self hosted” when it’s actually hosted by a cloud provider is sort of like saying something was “self coded” when it was coded by an LLM.

Self hosting can be stretched to mean you’re hosting your own services on a cloud provider.

Yeah, I have dabbled in that with streaming to multiple platforms via a VPS. It definitely is stretching the definition of self hosting.

I’ve been using a VPS for a while now. I still maintain it, so it’s very much like self hosting.
