Nachdem ich nach einem Tipp von @kuketzblog den #DNS Provider #deSEC kennengelernt hatte, habe ich testweise eine Domain von #INWX zu diesem Anbieter umgestellt (nicht umgezogen), um die DNS Verwaltung dort vornehmen zu können.

Jetzt habe ich von @angry auch noch von #Stalwart gehört, einem #Mailserver, der gute Dienste leisten soll. Also habe ich in meinem #Homelab per #Docker auch noch Stalwart installiert. Was soll ich sagen: Dieses Stück Software hat mir per API sämtliche DNS-Einstellungen bei deSEC abgenommen. Jetzt läuft bei mir im Homelab ein funktionaler Mailserver mit allem Pipapo wie #DNSSEC, #DMARC, #DKIM und #SPF. Ein Test auf mail-tester.com bringt 10 von 10 Punkten. Bin echt begeistert.

Da Stalwart keinen Webmailer mitbringt, war ich noch auf der Suche nach einem solchen. Nach einer Recherche ist meine Wahl auf #Bulwark gefallen. Dieses beherrscht Mail, Kalender, Kontakte, Sieve und eine Dateiverwaltung. Nebenbei bringt es auch noch eine schöne, moderne Oberfläche mit.

Also, die Kombination aus deSEC, Stalwart und Bulwark gefällt mir echt gut. 👍

There's a new very lightweight Fediverse platform that's just been released called littleFedi. You can follow its new official account at:

🌱 @littlefedi_official

Its official website including download and source code is at:

🌱 https://littlefedi.org

LittleFedi is intended for techy people who want to create their own Fediverse server using as few resources as possible.

It's written by @stefano (who also created the weather service FediMeteo).

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #FOSS #SelfHosting

LittleFedi is an excellent light weight but fully featured Fediverse platform (ActivityPub). I've been kicking tires and providing feedback on the test instance and excited for the first release to give it a go self-hosted.

@stefano has been leading a master class in community and developer relations. He has been stewarding the team and user community with enthusiasm and transparency. Congratulations to Stefano and the team.

Here's a great story of the project's genesis and journey. https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@littlefedi_official/01a0f644-8ed6-7a7d-ade6-46f4c0a74f41

Then I check what kind of AWS machines they are renting and I'm sure that I could do it.

🛠️ Tool
===================

Piik is an open-source, private screen sharing tool designed for sharing games, movie nights, drawings, and photos with up to 20 viewers. Viewers can join via an invitation link and watch directly in their desktop or mobile browsers without needing to install any software.

Key Features
• Browser-based viewing: Friends join via invitation and watch in desktop or mobile browsers.
• Flexible sharing sources: Hosts can share a screen, window, browser tab, or camera. Available sources and audio depend on the platform.
• P2P-first media: Media travels directly between participants where possible. A self-hosted server can provide automatic media forwarding (SFU) as a fallback.
• Room management: Invitations, room codes, and optional room passwords for one host and up to 20 viewers.
• Single binary hosting: Web UI, room management, and optional media forwarding are packaged together for self-hosting.

Technical Implementation
The tool emphasizes direct P2P connections for media transmission. If P2P is not viable, a self-hosted Piik Server on a Linux x64 server can act as an SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) to relay media. The server packages the web UI, room management, and media forwarding into a single program.

Use Cases
• Hosting private movie nights or game streaming sessions for small groups.
• Sharing drawings or photos with friends in real-time.
• Providing commentary over shared media using the built-in microphone support.

Installation/Setup
To host, download the Piik App, extract and open it, choose Public invite, then Open Piik to create a temporary room. Alternatively, advanced users can deploy Piik Server on a Linux x64 server with their own domain.

Note: Tool not independently verified.

I have a webserver with a LAMP stack. I want to share photos and videos with friends & family. I want albums with a configurable sorting method, and it would be nice if I can give a short description for each photo.
It would be nice if the albums are not public, but that I can send an authorized link so that recipients don't need to juggle with an account to see the photos.

What would you recommend?

i run a small (but growing) self-hosted stack and make random things, mostly around retro computing, privacy, classic games and IRC.

lately:

• pagerom, which turns any website or feed into an NES, SNES, or game boy cart you can actually play
• modembin, which is pastebin but with real modem audio decoding to text and live modem chat
• an IRC server that bridges every possible protocol (even email, phone, obsidian) into one hub
• this instance (which is just me) running snac on a tiny vps

the rest lives at https://system64.computer

Im Kontext von #Diday und #Fediverse komme ich immer wieder am Thema #selfhosting an.

Ein dezentrales System funktioniert nur, wenn es viele Instanzen gibt. Und bei den Wechselrezepten vom Di.day geht es am Ende häufig um die Frage, ob ich mich irgendwo einmiete oder selbst eine Anwendung betreibe. Wie z.B. bei dem Immich Thema für Fotos mit dem ich mich gerade beschäftige.

Anwendungen selbst betreiben ist allerdings auch nicht ohne. Frage mich wie man das verbessern kann.

Ad, affiliate link.

I recommend Infomaniak Public Cloud because I use it myself. My instance runs 4 AMD cores, 8 GB of RAM and 20 GB of SSD for about 16 EUR a month before VAT, and it behaves like a real cloud instance rather than a bargain VPS.

Everything runs out of their own data center in Carouge, practically next door to CERN. Bandwidth is free, and object storage traffic is free up to 10 TB too, with the storage itself priced in cents rather than francs.

I keep waiting for them to raise the prices and they keep not doing it, which I still cannot quite believe.

New accounts get 300 CHF of credit for the first three months through my link, so trying it costs nothing.

If you sign up through the link below I earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. I'd really appreciate it.

Stop buying 'mini PCs' that run at 90% CPU just to keep Caddy from timing out. Get a used Xeon E5 v4 and 64GB of ECC RAM. It costs less than your monthly cloud bill and doesn't scream 'I'm watching you' when it hums.

Yup, I'm hoarding old RAM. Quad channel DDR3 is about as fast as dual channel DDR4. Lots of higher-end DDR3 mobos can take 8 sticks and they're dirt cheap (for now).

So I have been having this idea for a while, and finally got around to making a prototype (generating with Claude, more exactly)

The principle is simple, right now authentication for Matrix bridges is rather tedious... As in, copying a request from the debug console in the browser tedious, so not very accessible to the average Mom for example (sorry IT Moms around here)

So the idea is, why don't we publish a browser extension (here in Zen Browser) to automatically detect available bridges once logged into a Matrix user account, and give the possibility to be fully walked through the login process, automagically

No finding the request manually, no copying to weird curl formatted tokens, no confused "just press F12" moments, just click the "Log in" button

What are people's thoughts ?

We just expanded Become the Thousand Servers with a practical section for people trying to figure out where the hell to actually put a site once they’ve decided not to trust one giant platform with everything.

The course now includes a hosting provider comparison chart covering 1984 Hosting, FlokiNET, May First Movement Technology, Koumbit, and La Contre-Voie, with pricing in USD and breakdowns for:

- control
- privacy and data minimization
- backups and recovery
- DDoS/resilience
- movement accountability
- NoBlogs / WordPress compatibility

It also now includes a publishing software comparison for Colophon, WriteFreely, WordPress, Ghost, and Grav, including:

- what each one is actually good for
- migration realities
- whether it is open source
- its license
- self-hosting vs managed hosting
- current pricing

So instead of “you should self-host” followed by 400 pages of Linux scripture and abandonment, the guide actually helps you compare the options and make a decision based on your project’s needs.

Screenshot of the “I have a NoBlogs / WordPress XML export and need to rebuild my site” recovery pathway in the Become the Thousand Servers course. The page explains that the guide helps recover a blog, keep an independent backup, and document how someone else could move it later. It shows three large destination buttons: “Someone else hosts it for me,” “I want to self-host it,” and “I want another kind of destination.” Below, the progress reads “Step 2 of 2 (choose a destination to see the rest)” with a collapsed “Routes through this recovery path” section and links for “What is this XML file?” and “Choose where your blog will live.”

Picking a firewall comes down to pfSense vs OPNsense. This guide compares architecture, VPN, security and real benchmarks for self-hosters. https://www.valtersit.com/guides/networking/pfsense-vs-opnsense-a-pragmatic-comparison-for-self-hosters/ #pfSense #OPNsense #selfhosting

Most "switch off Google" guides stop at deleting the app.

The harder part is DNS: every lookup your router makes is still a log someone owns. NextDNS moves that to a resolver you control, per-device, in about ten minutes. Downside: the free tier caps at 300k queries/month, which a busy household will pass.
