Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)

You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

I use Steam + Proton in an LXC so I can share the graphics card among several other containers. It works quite well with streaming once I got it set up.

I was going to recommend Logseq as well. I use the git plug-in on laptops and Working Copy (git on iOS) and some automations to sync it on mobile.

Nostr gets rid of the notion of servers and admins. At a high level everyone on nostr owns their own account (no central instance). When you want to post something you send your content to a list of relays you choose.

Other people can choose what relays they want to subscribe to.

Relays can block people from subscribing or posting.

Everything is cryptographically secured so there is no way for someone to pretend to be you.

Lemmy is different where the instance admin has complete control. Admins can post as you and users cannot easily migrate to a different server.

It’s been two days and it just showed up in my active feed!

I belive it’s a kbin thing. There is an issue open for it here.

I also have around 3GB used for pictrs and I’m not really sure the best way to see what all content is in there.

+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

It’s not the cheapest but I use a DigitalOcean instance to do what you are describing. I’ve been burned by VPS hosts and I’ve enjoyed the complete lack of drama or downtime with DigitalOcean.

For port forwarding I’m using Private Internet Access and gluetun. I don’t really recommend Private Internet Access and, like you, I’m interested in a better solution. It’d be nice if I could use ProtonVPN’s port forwarding but it looks like that only works if you use their app.
