What are things you would rather host on a VPS as opposed to a local machine?
Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?

With Cloudflare Zero Trust there is absolutely no reason for me to host on a VPS anymore. I have old hardware that's all been revived and bootstrapped with cloudflare. If you have good Internet and decent upload IO why not start there especially if it's just for yourself.
Because I don't want to be centralized around a single company and service. Any company can provide a vps endpoint. I can literally be set up again in a manner of minutes on another ip, vps, or vps provider.
Fuck Cloudflare.
They’re the biggest threat around to a free and open Internet.
