The Cloud is Over-engineered, Over-priced (and Over-rated?) (youtu.be)

For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost.

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

How seriously do they take it? I've been self-hosting stuff for...well for a long time, and It's been against my tos for almost all of it. The only issue I've had has been blocked outbound port 25.

That's what I've been wondering, like can I just do it anyway? I have Verizon FiOS gigabit, for reference. If they really just don't care then I don't mind violating TOS at all, but I wasn't sure if they do or not

"Maybe." You'd have to try and see. I've mostly been on the cable networks so YMMV. The first issue would be if they block commonly used ports which should be fairly easy to test.

ive never heard of anyone even getting a warning about hosting anything on a residential connection.. many isps have verbiage about not doing it, but i don't think any of them actually care because generally your upstream on a residential connection are so low it doesn't matter if you saturate it often

Yea and no one should be hosting their own mail server anyway. Just a massive headache.
