I’m trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it’s better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by hosting an instance via Cloud or VPS you are offloading the data / information to a 3rd party.

Are people actually running their own actual self-hosted servers from home? Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?

    Enterprise distributuions can hot-swap kernels, making it unnecessary to reboot in order to make system updates.

      Microsoft needs to get its shit together because reboots were a huge point of contention when I was setting up automated patching at my company.
