This seems pretty important to crowdsource and talk about, so I'm gonna go ahead and risk violating the no politics rule from a few days ago, because I don't see a better community to ask this. My defense for it not "being politics" is, I'm asking you to keep it to purchasing decisions and how the details of how the tariffs are likely to work, as opposed to who did what. This thread has the potential to save people lots of money if it gets big!

Tariffs are gonna make things more expensive for Americans; what are you planning on buying now instead of later, or stockpiling a little of?

Can anyone recommend some stable general purpose instances that federate with dbzer0? I believe lemmy.world defederated, as the link doesn't work for me. I had a kbin account, but that seems to be dead, and I'd like to minimize the number of accounts I have to use to access things.

How much does the setup cost? assuming I'm already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Yes, you definitely need a good VPN service. I use Proton VPN and it works great. I don’t use a seed box or anything like that. I just see stuff right out of my media library that I keep on several external hard drives. So pretty low cost of entry and then you’re not paying any of the subscription costs for streaming or cable or any of that nonsense. Plus there’s movies they’re software there’s music there’s audiobooks there’s e-books. It’s a cornucopia my friend.

I've been using whatbox as my seed box for nearly 10 years now. I'm on their USD 15/month plan, and they've upgraded my storage & bandwidth twice now in that time without increasing my costs.
