Power should be plenty and efficiency great. The only thing I wouldn‘t like is external HDDs.

I replied to an answer here. Not to the blog post.

By that, I referred to the quality of this answer concerning the past, to be more precise to the last three years, we‘ve been using Matrix at work, struggeling with these shortcomings.

Your personal shortcomings concerning either the use of Lemmy and/or discussions in general are sad, but not my problem.

I did. I referred to the current version and the comment that is has always been a great project.

Encryption is a mess with Matrix. Randomly doesn‘t decrypt messages. Most non-techies don‘t get the process of saving key files or creating secure passphrases.

There‘s nothing comparable on the market at this size and price when it comes to sheer power and energy efficiency.

So that‘s why nobody at Omnivore cared about making self-hosting easier.

Try Publii. It does everything for you. You can even set up the FTP upload.

Next question would be:

Who pays for disposal and dismantling old nuclear power plants? Might also be relevant for @Eximius@lemmy.world claim. I guess it‘ll be the tax payer. And then we might have a different answer to the question of financial sense.

Privatizing gains and collectivizing costs still seems to be en vogue.

I‘ve been using a Hetzner Storage Box with Kopia via SFTP and was able to completely saturate my 500 Mbit/s upload.
