minus-squareHorseFDlinkfedilink14•2 years agoI’m hosting my own because it’s fun and it’s cheap to do it. I imagine it could get expensive to host bigger instances, and at that point the admins would likely look to donations to keep things going.
minus-squareHorseFDlinkfedilink6•2 years agoAbout $5-$10 per month. I’m using an ARM64 system which make it even cheaper.

How much does it cost to run an instance?
About $5-$10 per month. I’m using an ARM64 system which make it even cheaper.
I hope eventually RISC-V will become viable.
