I'm thinking of operating a 'twtxt . es' pod (for content in spanish/español)
It's gonna cost something like 100 USD/year (domain + hosting), nothing excessive, but I have some weird feeling about paying on stuff not being used that much. Thoughts?
@eaplmx that sound very expensive. But using a vultr VPS running the yarn app and cloudflaire can be set up fairly easy. The more pods the better 😃
@eaplmx I think you can start with a running coat of around $20/yr

@eaplmx i can likely help solve this for you. and give you resources on my grid. of course, you'd have to buy your own domain and point it to my traffic gateway(s)
@prologic Sorry, I don't get the meaning of running coat, is it a kind of hosting service?
@mutefall we could try it 🤔
I want to invite more Spanish-speaking people to Twtxt and kind of separate conversations in another language. I could buy and manage the domain, and if you'd like to share resources would be great. Later if it grows, we might share expanses or something.
@darch I started an experiment with my own domain, and Vultr it's costing something like 6 USD/month.
I agree, more pods the cooler!
@eaplmx that would be good. there are lots of enthusiasts in spanish speaking regions. i lived in one for many years. i think what helps is ease of onboarding and starting small groups like you suggested.
