Now that we've discussed why I've chosen the matrix ecosystem, it's time to elaborate on how I host everything.
Happy new years!
One of my personal goals is to secure the data of me and my community from data scraping as much as I can. I’ve also learned a ton from blog posts on how to host software, and it’s time I contribute back.
So, welcome to my series on how I host my services with as little dependency on US-based services as I can.
I’d love feedback on my writing so I can learn and improve as well!
