Kinda expensive vps for a single person instance, is it not?

I do the same, and eventually I started using Obsidian on top, but you can always switch to something else that opens markdown (vim!)

Never used digg. I went directly from Slashdot to Reddit.

The main reason I've heard is that chromium is far easier to embed than Gecko. Gecko isn't something you embed like a library. It's something you build upon. Detaching Gecko from Firefox UI (or Thunderbird for that matter) is supposedly really hard.

Hello from another personal instance :)

My work laptop runs Ubuntu, my home PC runs Windows 10. I used Mac OS in my last job. I'm not really picky about it.

I'm selfhosting my instance for fun and not for profit. I'm using a server on Hetzner that costs me 4.11/mo. I'm the only active user of my instance, but I like to own my own data and selfhost my own services.
