Hmm I'm at a crossroads...
I self-host my Matrix instance, have some encrypted rooms there, chat with people from other instances. Works fine.
But Hetzner just raised the prices, and my backups are getting bigger and bigger. It's now 8 Euro / month, and if the backups keep growing at this rate, by the end of the year it could be 10-12 Euro / month.
What do I do... Suck it up, or just switch to public instance...
Difficult choices...

@leniwcowaty do you have an option to m any of it out of Hetzner and onto local hardware? That’s how my Mastodon instance is running for example. I use a Hetzner VPS as a layer 2 proxy to send encrypted tests over a WireGuard tunnel back to my house where Mastodon itself is running on a used Dell machine I bought on eBay (which also runs a whole bunch of other things for me). Means I only need the smallest VPS.
