jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I know "AI" is a polarizing topic around here, but I wanted to share a small side-project I've been tinkering with to scratch a personal itch: MastoSum.
It’s a lightweight web app that listens to public streams, filters for the hashtags I actually care about, and uses an LLM to generate a daily digest of the last 24 hours. Basically, a personalized news feed to help cut through the noise.
It works reasonably well for what I need. Here’s an example of today's run: https://mastosum.linuxserver.pro/s/6q1ZdTOuHBfKyQ3aVU3dOw

#introduction
Hi! I'm Jan. I'm from Slovenia. Currently working as a ServiceNow developer/architect which is a bit hypocritical since I firmly believe in #digitalsovereignty and #opensource.
I am currently trying to get better at #linux and #selfhosting as much as possible. I'm also improving my French.
I have an irrational fear of posting random things/thoughts on social media but I'm hoping to overcome that and to be able to have some interesting discussions. Any advice is welcome
My KeePass and Syncthing setup
How I sync passwords across my laptop, desktop, and phone using KeePassXC and Syncthing, plus a couple bash scripts I wrote to handle masked emails (like 1Password's feature) and merge sync conflicts.

I am looking for a simple, self-hosted way to send a newsletter. I don't need mail forwarding or whatever, my provider's mail server is good enough for the numbers I'm sending.
I don't want a public subscription page (or I should be able to disable it) and an unsubscription page is optional.
Basically, I want to create a mail that is then sent out to everyone on a list I maintain.
Ideally on a LAMP stack.
Any suggestions?

Warum Gitea der erste Dienst war, den ich auf meinem Homeserver installiert habe. Und wie daraus eine Deploy-Pipeline für alle anderen Dienste wurde.
Great, I managed to migrate all my repos from my #gitlab instance to my fresh new #forgejo instance. The only thing I need to look into is CI.
Wrote a shell script to do the job in the end. Not sure what to do with it. It can be useful for others, but it's fairly hacky and I have no intention to improve or maintain it. It was a once-off thing.
two years ago i finally lost my mind dealing with wordpress and markdown for clients.
it forced me to write an entire website construction kit in php from scratch (kiki). it forced me to learn how to write a customizable markup language (bug). all so i would never have to touch wordpress and markdown ever again.
two years later, there are now dozens of kiki instances run by sysop-admins around the world. it's incredibly gratifying to see the web made less shitty by just elbow grease and diy learning. the instance admins are a blend of writers and coders who painstakingly find bugs, dig into the source, and inspectorgadget workarounds. improving it and patching it is a lifelong commitment, even if it doesn't pay the bills.
in the coming week is a feature that 0.01% of users will take advantage of, but i'm so happy to add it, to keep the dream of an indie web alive: kiki will now generate RSS 2.0 compliant podcast feeds. i thought regular old web RSS was bad. but RSS for podcasts is about 10x worse 😅
the attached screenshot is a new site i'm building with kiki 1.2.0, which autogenerated a podcast feed using metadata in each post.
this morning i'm updating a client's wordpress site, and for all my moaning about how bad RSS is, i can't believe how much worse wordpress is. 😆
okay what's in the actual physical machine right now is an Intel Core i5-9400 YES IT IS AN ANTIQUE
it was fine until mastodon started pulling in all replies. which is absolutely a feature i support but dang it is it making my federated wordpress blog hard CPU-bound
(it does at least have a decent cooler so is not _also_ overheating. temps are good.)
$200 on eBay gets me like 2 more cores and 10 more threads without having to change out anything else
maybe i should do that?
lot cheaper than new mb and new RAM
(it's not at all short on ram, this thing has acres of DDR4)
still an oof tho'
#WebServer #wordpress #SelfHosting #piledriver #ZergRush #murknet
I self-host services at home, but I don't want to expose my home IP to the world. I also don't want my server to be hammered.
So I rented a cheap VPS and installed HAProxy as a front to expose my home-hosted services, and I can manager my cluster exactly as I did before.
Has anyone been successful getting pihole running in a docker container to observe using the assigned IP address instead of just binding to 0.0.0.0?
Been pulling my hair out on and off all evening trying to figure out why it is ignoring things like the port statement in the compose file being set to 192.168.1.100:53:53 to point at only the physical address at that IP.
Starting to think that Normies™ can either accept the struggle of learning something about the #tech they want to use OR they can accept being manipulated and abused by the people who will make it easy and foolproof.
Either/or.

#Wanderer is a very nice project, but it is currently too raw to use. The last two releases just broke everything, and even a clean setup doesn't help. I'll follow the repository, but shut down my instance for now.

What the actual fucking fuck https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/
Plex lifetime pass going from $250 to $750 on 1st July
I got a license back in Jan 2020 for like $90 on sale
If I didn't have that already, I'd never be using Plex now
I should look into Jellyfin, but... effort
RE: https://fosstodon.org/@bradlinder/116601976959891399
Imagine you still pay for this when you can just use jellyfin? #selfhosting #plex #jellyfin
Plex is raising its price from $250 to $750 in July. At that price, it's unlikely many people will choose the lifetime option... and that's kind of the point. Monthly/annual prices are remaining at $7 and $70, respectively. https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/ #Plex #PlexPass #Subscriptions #MediaStreaming

Howdy Homelab-Community!
Expose your naming sheme for your server/ services under this thread.
I will start: My servers are named after planets while my main data storage is just called "space". #Homelab #Homelabbing #SelfHosting
I migrated the container with #Wanderer to a more powerful #Proxmox node, increasing the number of CPUs and the amount of RAM. Now I can build trails using my own computing powers!
#Wanderer also uses #OVERPASS and #Nominatim, and it looks like I can host them as well.
Did you know there is a #SelfHosted #Fediverse-enabled trails and hiking service?
I was very excited to discover #Wanderer last week and am about to host it as part of #GlitchySocial.
Currently, I'm trying to host OSM #Valhalla for my #Wanderer instance. To build the required data for the #Ukraine region, to be precise. The process got killed twice already, but I'm not giving up yet )
Właśnie wystawiłem stronę gemini prosto z kampera. Z racji tego, że chciałem uniknąć przekierowań przez reverse proxy z jakiś zewnętrznych serwerów - jest ona dostępna tylko przez:

poprzez sieć tor: gemini://aiwnhpcpke3ufpstpquatnnzt756edbe6savvj2ju4vnrnu5z5mhzsid.onion
Na razie nie wiele tam jest, ale docelowo zachowam tam wszystkie posty ze swojej strony, z tego mikrobloga, aby przygotować swego rodzaju "kapsułę" przetrwalnikową.
Być może od czasu do czasu coś tam więcej napiszę, ale na razie to eksperyment związany z decentralizacją i hostowaniem rzeczy "bezpośrednio z domu".
Does anyone have troubleshooting tips for when #immich face detection no longer detects faces? From april 1st not a single face has been automatically recognized as I add photos to my library. Afaik nothing special happened on april 1st (i.e. updates, settings changed). All pictures older than this day still retain their faces. If I go to "job queues" and start the process manually using the "missing" button it dutifully works for hours and counts through the photos it checks, but afterwards not a single face has been detected. I've also tried the "refresh" option with same result. I'm saving the "reset" option as a last resort because it'll mean lots of manual cleaning, writing names etc. #selfHosting
Do you apply (system) updates on your servers manually or automated?

MansionNET is now running its own Git!
@forgejo self-hosted, at https://git.inthemansion.com
No tracking, no AI scraping, no corporate gatekeeper. The code that powers our IRC bots, web tools, and infrastructure now lives where the rest of MansionNET lives, on hardware we control :)
Registration is open. Public repos, private repos, mirrors back to GitHub for visibility, really your call.
Looking forward to any feedback as well! :)
Fujitsu abandoned their Celvin NAS customers. The proprietary software is over 10 years old. And worse, Fujitsu had an app store to get apps that were not part of the stock stock distro, like a bittorrent app, which are no longer reachable.
The hardware uses a Marvell arm SOC. FreeNAS is x86 only. QNAP has some fairly recent distros that may be compatible. It’s proprietary and perhaps somewhat risky. What are the chances that a QNAP image from 2024 bricks my Fujitsu from 2013?
Is QNAP my only option, or is there a FOSS option? There are at least 15 FOSS NAS platforms:
techcult.com/best-free-and-open-source-nas-softwa…
but I have no idea if any are built for a Marvell arm SOC. Anyone know?
Ich brauche einmal die geballte Schwarmintelligenz der #homelab #selfhosting community!
Ich baue gerade ein Haus und damit auch eine neue Netzwerkinfrastruktur und ein Smart Home.
Ich brauche einmal einen "sanity check" für meinen Plan:
- Netzwerk-Komponenten von Ubiquity: Cloud Gateway, PoE Switches, PoE Access Points
- Smart Home: Shelly Komponenten für Licht und Jalousinen mit Zigbee, Home Assistant als Zentrale, mehrere PoE Kameras mit Frigate NVR und Einbindung in Home Assistant
Jedes Feedback ist willkommen!

Still being a #SelfHosting noob, I managed to scramble my VPS provider's fallback root terminal by... using nano (it's not that I wasn't aware of awk and sed, I just thought I could conveniently use nano like always, lazy me!). I was in a browser window on my phone and I thought ^X could work, but it didn't. After I closed the window and then reopened the terminal, I couldn't do any commands because the text from the improperly closed nano-edited config was preventing me...
So I restored a backup from a few days ago, just to further reckon with how I haven't bothered until now to pin the ports so that Nginx would always work whenever Docker containers get regenerated - I know, I know, none of this sounds like best practices and in the future I'd like to switch all my server services from Docker on #Alpine (which, nonetheless, was the wisest Linux choice for me; consider how, for instance, I was not vulnerable to Copy Fail, because Alpine virt didn't load by default the affected kernel module in the first place) to #OpenBSD and its tools... but something tells me that isn't exactly a just one weekend project. I'm confident though that it's going to pay off with more peace of mind.
