      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?

          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.

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