This has the potential to become the next WordPress-like spam spewing zombie network.

My k8s PDS has been pretty fire-and-forget. Renovate opens PRs for updates when they become available and I merge them when I'm ready.

Yeah that's kinda how the Bluesky PDS distribution works tbh

Half an hour from me that’s not even an option for some so I get that too.

my favorite is when people host mastodon or fediverse at home like they aren’t now suddenly communicating with tens of thousands of random ips on a regular basis

self hosting doesn’t necessarily mean it’s at home, you could host stuff on digitalocean or some other VPS host. i personally do self hosting at home for funsies but if i really needed production guarantees idk if i’d do that or anything.

which they also underestimate

haha that’s too funny 🤣

I didn't self-host my main until I took the time to ensure that everything would run smoothly and that my somewhat-custom setup had auto-update working. Now, every day, I'm amazed that it's still running without an issue.

I run a small indie search engine off a 2GB droplet and this matches my experience exactly, setup was the fun part. What eats most of your time now, keeping things updated or just watching dashboards?
