#pikapods — Public Fediverse posts

I don't know if it's a #selfhosting #IT topic or a #psy #OCD #burnout topic.
I don't know if it's a call for help or if I just need to dump this here.

First, I'm very glad that I could totally leave the #GAFAMs! Yes, they make your digital life apparently easier, but the price to pay is IMHO far, far too high. I despise them!

My #selfhost setup is driving me nuts: #VPN, online services, I can't decide if I'm happy with my #Synology #NAS hosting (backed up on SYnology C2), if I need a #VPS (my attempts showed that maintenance is high) or an assisted hosting service (like #PikaPods which sounds great). Availability of online services would be higher.

@maique I'm guessing I'll be able to import my last saved #WordPress blog into pika. Yes? 🤔

Will it let me export and keep my blog if I choose to later* move to a regular* webhost?

I didn't see the size limit per app. The pika website doesn't spell out what they mean by "minimum required resources", and what it'll cost extra later if I go beyond the limit. 😕

Hey @mastohost 👋 if I use my domain with #PikaPods, it won't affect my masto.evelynyap.com, will it?

@mpmilestogo @maique
Woh 😲 What is this #PikaPods thingy?

Help me understand...

Does it basically work like #webhosting except that it's per #app? Like only #WordPress and no other installations?

I still haven't fixed my #website. 😅 So I haven't done any posting there for a couple of years now. Maybe this pika thing suits me better. 🤔

But will I still be able to use my #domain with an #email service?
