Since EH is getting DDOSed it is finally time to tell you that you should enrich the fediverse by making your own instance.
Requirements:
- Spare computer or an old android phone
- Domain
Things that might be useful:
- Static IP
- Ability to port forward
- Ability to use navigate trough the terminal on Linux
If you can use linux just follow the instructions here. If you can’t use it I can help you set it up or directly set it up for you.
Edit: yes, I do have my own instance, but since there was a XSS vulnerability recently and I cannot update it, I am not running it
I am 99% sure it can work. You even have built in UPS if it works
