Cost-cutting tips? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

What are your favourite, or least favourite but necessary, cost-cutting methods?

I feel I am spending too many resources on unnecessary stuff.

Edit: I feel the need to reduce both – the resources, to host multiple things on one system, and cost, to buy/pay for multiple systems. Currently, I have 2 ARM VPSes and 1 old MacBook Air as a home server.

Cost-cutting is corporate-greed mindset, therefore you have to solve it with the same mindset.

Fire people ! Even you if needed. And let the end-users deal with the outcome.

(This is not a serious post ^^ )

Fire your wife and kids and then you would have plenty of time and (hopefully) money to concentrate on your hobbies and the things that make you happy. /s

Not viable strategy, firing the wife incurs a 50% net worth severance package.

Physically set yourself on fire so you don't have to lose 50% of everything
