Hello folks,

I have a mini PC which I use to host my website and some lightweight services. The mini PC idles at ~10% cpu usage. I was wondering if I can contribute 90% of CPU to the community. Thinking that maybe I can host other people’s websites for free.

How can I do that? Should I host some fediverse software? What do I do with this much processing power?

Thanks in advance!

    “my instance to the cloud because I learned that if I even accidentally hosted anything it means immediate seizure,”

    That sounds a bit extreme. You are not hosting csam on purpose. And most likely try to moderate as good as possible.

    I actually believe more people should host their own server. And get rid of the cloud. Not moving more to the cloud.

      Look up what “strict liability” means in a criminal law context.

        Well, I’m willing to take the risk then. I host all my fediverse services at home.

          Yikes. Good luck to you, noble goals, but there are real consequences for even unknowingly hosting that content.
