Maybe it isn’t such a bad news. To get ppl hooked on any paid services, they need a good product first.
They can get lost with anything like Kerbal 2. That is if they relese something in pre-alpha state and ask $40 for it.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 2 weeks ago:
They have fairly good prices for small VPS, something like €1-2 and I cannot complain. Perfect for some small self hosting. I cannot comment on their more performant boxes.
1&1 is kind of typical telco, with all the shady stuff and contracts. DSL from them is without any issues. Mobile is kind of problematic, it was fine for past 3-4 years but with their “Fancy 5G net up to 300mbps” has pretty shit so far. Last week I was abroad and my sim would not connect at all. Contacted them via online chat and they said to call them… They fixed it after like 20h
- Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting 4 weeks ago:
There is a hidden cost to every hobby and everybody is willing to tolerate a certain degree of shittyness.
I have a friends that has a rather old car and something on it is always broken. But he has no problem having 20 different apps for appliances, instead of deploying home assistants. Or having ads everywhere and even trying pihole or at least NextDNS.
On the other hand, I see my car as a transportation tool and when I need it I want to use it without worrying about some random part exploding. But I have no problem running Proxmox and hosting tons of services for my family.
That said, I would definitely not self-host something like NextCloud or any business critical component for my business and just paid somebody for the service.

Hard pass for me.
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 1 month ago:
Take what you have, start small and learn from it.
Old laptops are great, because they have low power consumption and even pretty used up battery will give you power redundancy.
Even a 10yo laptop is something with 4-5th gen Core cpu and that has plenty of power to get you started.
