buy something small and cheap to create my own personal server
I recommend a used laptop. Runs efficiently, comes with UPS, keyboard, display, touchpad...
An old, cheap one is enough.
I'd be happy to know something more about server rental
@privex accepts HBD. I'll write a post about how to set up a server.
I'm going to remember it :) I may also have access to one where I work!
That would really cool! Building something on Hive and having the server's expenses paid in HDB seems perfect.
