I started self hosting when I had only 100Mbps down/10Mbps up. For about 5 years years I told my friends and family that I didn’t have fast upload speeds so if several people were streaming at the same time there could be issues. Beggers cant be choosers, so they got what they got. That being said, I always tried to get smaller files so that less bandwidth was needed and that helped a lot

I lived alone so 100Mbps down/10Mbps up was plenty for me and I wasn’t going to upgrade to a faster plan. I also worked from home with those speeds without any issues and I would have continued with that internet plan if I still lived there. My new place includes 1.2Gb down/up so bandwidth isn’t the bottleneck for me any longer.

I use an iPhone simply because I refuse to use google services any longer, not because I’m delusional about apple caring about privacy.

This is because of people stealing toilet paper out of public restrooms

I might get shit for this, but I used ChatGPT to generate the code for a basic, single page, html/css, static website.
