Interesting approach, good luck! Admittedly I’m not sure if many users want to take their media uploading in their own hands and pay for it but maybe I’m wrong. Where are the images stored? Do you have your own hardware? Backups etc?

Also since you’re interested in Fediverse media storage, I recently read about https://jortage.com/ It’s a third party storage for your instance with deduplication, pretty interesting idea. Takes away a bit of the federated part though

My company does host an instance, but I’ve never used it for game streaming. No idea what the fps is

Jitsi or Element call

It seems like the vps stuff is fine, but the company I work at uses them as cloud provider (many VMs plus K8S clusters) and the quality is not so great to say the least. Also the support is sometimes blaming us for their outages and generally not too helpful.

This sounds super cool, I’ve been looking for something to keep track of my plants! Gonna try this

Wait, how do you know my password?

That’s actually better I think. A project with zero open issues/requests is usually dead, not fast in solving issues.
