      Yes, because a Linux server with root access is much more powerful than a platform like Cloudflare.

        Technically…… but why does it need “root access” (I’m dying laughing btw) to begin with?

          Why does what need root access? The person paying for the hosting? So they can install software cloudflare doesn’t offer for example.

          So I can install any software I want. I’m running my own Lemmy server. I host Odoo and n8n for my wife’s business. I have servers running Borgbackup and Borgmatic for backups. And a bunch of other stuff.
