It already has for me. Most websites I visit today I run myself. How amazing is that?

It’s the digital equivalent of off-grid living. I love how much useful tooling I can host myself on my little cluster, and it is empowering that $megacorp can’t hold it hostage or shove hostile tracking and advertising everywhere. The Fedeverse feels much closer to the spirit of the internet in its infancy.

Is that cluster on a cloud service though?

Nope, servers in the basement!
