I mean, the internet went to shit when we all centralized around enormous corporate gatekeepers like Facebook and Twitter instead of the personal websites of yore, so I feel like that sentiment still tracks

Personal websites didn't die because of social media, the simple fact is no one wants to run their own server... I run my own server and can tell you it's a money sink much like a boat.

I pay $100/year for hosting, who are you using?

[-] TheKingBee@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

A computer in the corner of my house.

Probably cheaper to buy hosting service, unless it doubles as a room heater

[-] TheKingBee@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Possibly, but then I don't have complete control over it, also I chirp about the cost/effort, but I like it.

Most websites you can run on a $40 raspberry pi, which burns maybe five bucks of electricity per year.
