I started this narrative without giving some context so here we go: right now I have 2 remote servers I'm using to experiment with running my own webservices on the open internet. notice I am not a tech person, just a curious enthusiast who loves to experiment with tech.

the oldest one is a shared web hosting I've had for years on Hostgator Brasil which I originally rented to run my websites and podcasts. even though it is limited, it can still run a lot of cool things. right now it has my Joplin sync point, it's running 2 Wordpress websites (including 2 podcasts w/ PowerPress), Wallabag (Pocket alternative), Nextcloud (which I'm getting rid of), Baikal (Contacts & Calendar) and my new @Castopod experiment.

the newest one is a VPS on Time4VPS which I had for over a year. it's a modest but very capable server, in which I'm using @yunohost to run a URL shortener of my own using LSTU, a very experimental live video page using @owncast and this Mastodon instance using @glitch.social

ASAP I will be getting myself a #RaspberryPi 4B to experiment with onsite self-hosting with services such as @pixelfed, @peertube, Navidrome. I'm very excited to try that.
