Interesting, littlefedi takes a bit more RAM to compile than I expected -- make build allreleases peaked at 19.7 GB of RAM use on the build machine. Something to bear in mind. #littlefedi
@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe @bpl@snac.bsd.cafe It definitely is that. Each platform built increased overall RAM use with ~1Gb after a while; especially the "exotic" platforms.

@bpl@snac.bsd.cafe @rqm@0xde501a7a.net self-hosting is bad in the same way hanging your kitchen cabinets is bad
They work and are probably fine, but you're always worried they're going to fall off the wall and trash the rest of your house in the process

@bpl@snac.bsd.cafe @paul@fedi.paulwilde.uk @rqm@0xde501a7a.net _bad_ handypeople do not need to care about their work...but good handypeople take pride in the work they do.
Anyway, totally agreed self-hosting isn't for everyone. Definitely not something to recommend something they do unless they understand some critical infrastructure, but that does not make it bad.

@rqm@0xde501a7a.net @bpl@snac.bsd.cafe @paul@fedi.paulwilde.uk bad like the 1980's smash hit song and accompanying album by Michael Jackson (careful now)?
Self-hosting's bad, it's bad, shamone.

Yeah, sometimes technology needs to be punished by not paying attention to it. But we keep coming back, don't we? But a good book... is a good book!
@paul@paulwilde.uk @bpl@snac.bsd.cafe On the other hand, judging from the quality of the installation in our kitchen, I don't think I would be more worried if I did it...
@rqm@0xde501a7a.net @paul@paulwilde.uk @bpl@snac.bsd.cafe ah, you had those shitty Microsoft installers in? Yeah, totally not trustworthy 😂
