Cost-cutting tips? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

What are your favourite, or least favourite but necessary, cost-cutting methods?

I feel I am spending too many resources on unnecessary stuff.

Edit: I feel the need to reduce both – the resources, to host multiple things on one system, and cost, to buy/pay for multiple systems. Currently, I have 2 ARM VPSes and 1 old MacBook Air as a home server.

Cost-cutting is corporate-greed mindset, therefore you have to solve it with the same mindset.

Fire people ! Even you if needed. And let the end-users deal with the outcome.

Fire your wife and kids and then you would have plenty of time and (hopefully) money to concentrate on your hobbies and the things that make you happy. /s

Not viable strategy, firing the wife incurs a 50% net worth severance package.

Physically set yourself on fire so you don't have to lose 50% of everything
