Liebes Fediverse.

Meine bisherige Instanz bei Anoxinon liegt leider im Koma. Daher einmal #neuhier

Ich interessiere mich für #kunst, #musik und #freiesoftware.

Ich mache lehrreiche Videos zu #linux und #selfhosting die ihr auf #peertube findet: https://tube.sp-codes.de/c/tuxwiz/videos

Meine Leidenschaft sind #linuxmobile Handys mit #postmarketos und ich nutze dort einen Tiling Windowmanaget namens #sway mit #sxmo.

Wer hier nur noch #bahnhof versteht, dem empfehle ich meine #podcast Folge bei #gnulinux_ch : https://gnulinux.ch/ciw089-podcast

Ich würde mich über #austausch mit euch sehr freuen und bin auf euch gespannt. Gerne auch #retoot für mehr Reichweite.

Literally built hardware for local LLMs just to do my own self hosted voice commands for all the IoT shit in my house because none of these companies can design a decent app to save their god damned life and I’m not letting Apple or Amazon know when the fuck I watch TV or what my thermostat is set to.

I came into possession of some old solar panels so I made a solar-powered web server with a raspberry pi. It's been sitting in my garden for two months running continuously on sun/battery power.

Perhaps the continuous uptime is not surprising given the extreme weather in London this summer.

It's been running the nginx start page for most of that time, but I finally made a little zine site and hooked it up to the web.

Self-hosting people!

Do you have suggestions for directories of self-hostable free open source software?

So far I've got the Awesome list at https://awesome-selfhosted.net but wondered if there are any others you would recommend?

I'm slowly thinking of and planning on a major upgrade to my #selfhosting setup. #FreeBSD is looking mighty interesting. I've never used any #BSD before, and with recent #Linus controversy, does anyone feel like sharing any of the skeletons in BSD's closet? Is it just way more chill on the other side of the fence or what?

Spent a couple of hours updating my Home Assistant dashboard, new features:

• slimmed down the buttons, extra functionality becomes available if the light is on etc.
• removed lights that are managed by a group
• moved stuff around to fit the three column layout better
• added a person tab, this is the start of building more automation for when either me or my wife are out
• better greeting!

Overall I think it looks a bit cleaner, contemplating getting rid off the weather widget or making it smaller somehow.

Anyone have the TL;DR; on self hosted fediverse software?

Mastodon vs Snac vs Pleroma vs ?

I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.

Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.

I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.

What's out there?

I want to get back into #SelfHosting and be #SelfHosted (Yes, used both tags!), I've fallen out of the habit and my home server has been offline for 3+ years now but I wanna turn that around.

Question though, ISP-provided routers tend to be wank and I think the play is to get your own networking equipment. What's the go-to options for home hosting?

I don't think I need anything mega fancy, but my previous setup involved using PiHole for DNS to point local devices at my home server on my LAN; it would be nice if I could do that at the router. (Is that normally the done thing? Mind you I was also using that pihole for DHCP which I'm certain is a bad idea)

I've heard UniFi is basically the go-to option for this; but I thought I'd ask in case there's other options I should consider. Cheers!

@h3artbl33d I have, more than once, had to turn the hotspot on my phone on so I could download an ISO of #pfSense to reflash my #router.

If you are #selfhosting / #homelabbing: you have my utmost respect. Do not trust other parties to have your back - because they don't.

However, few words to the wise: if you operate a minimalist setup - eg everything running in VMs on a single host: please do consider the consequences of downtime.

You probably don't want to run your critical services on one machine without a fallback. If those services include your smarthome foundation, DNS and firewalling: you don't want to troubleshoot in the dark because everything is down and you can't even turn on the light anymore.

You aren't the first nor won't he the last to learn this lesson when disaster strikes though

📻 Ep. 11 — Episode 11: AI, Burnout, and Everything After

Linus Torvalds' about-face on AI in the Linux kernel, Jellyfin's leadership shakeup amid AI tensions, and running Hermes agents against home infrastructure.

I was ill last week and discovered something uncomfortable: a huge Jellyfin library isn't entertainment, it's homework. Every time I opened it, it asked "what do you want?" and I just scrolled.

So I built a TV station instead.

ErsatzTV turns a media library into real linear channels with schedules and logos. It ships for Linux, Windows and macOS. My server runs FreeBSD.

Turns out the entire porting effort was one conditional. The code asked "is this Linux?" when it meant "is VAAPI available?" VAAPI is userspace, FreeBSD has it, and .NET has had OSPlatform.FreeBSD for years.

One || later: Intel hardware transcoding in a Bastille jail that can see exactly one GPU and one read-only dataset.

I now have a sci-fi channel. I don't know what's on tonight. That's the point.

I am pretty amazed, how fast and power efficient even those older Intel N4100 Mini PCs are.
My old Wyse 3040 unfortunatelly died recently, so I had to migrate everything to the more power hungry N4100 system.
But turns out, when you disable the TurboBoost, it's average power consumption is around 1,5 - 2,5W running with Debian and a Podman container with my Website, and some custom scripts for fetching stats by bluetooth and usb for the BMS and Solar Charger. Neat!

Does anyone have a favorite guide for de-googling their lives? I’ve got a personal Google workspace account and I’ve lived with the ick long enough. Time to eject and go some combination of indie, open source and self-hosted. #lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

I already have a pikapods.com account, which means I could run a nextcloud instance for about $7/month (to start, no idea how much it would be if I actually imported everything) and replace GMail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc. So, umm, maybe I don't need a guide, I just need willpower.

The scariest thing is probably going through my password manager and figuring out EVERYWHERE I've used Login With Google and migrating those to a password.

#lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

One XDA writer added up what he canceled, cloud storage, photo backup, password syncing, document drives, and landed at almost $1,100 a year, replaced by a single power-efficient mini PC humming in a corner.

RefluXFS (CVE-2026-64600) is a race-condition in the Linux kernel's XFS copy-on-write path.
(Kernel updates are available.)

On an XFS filesystem with reflink enabled (Default on RHEL and similar, plus Amazon Linux), if you win a race during the copy-on-write remap lets the unprivileged local user overwrite the on-disk contents of any readable file on that volume including /etc/passwd or a SUID-root binary.

What makes this wild: the changes persist across reboots, produce no kernel logs, bypass SELinux and Kernel Address Space Randomization (KASLR).

PoCs reliably exploiting the vuln.

Check if you are in scope:
# xfs_info / | grep -i "reflink=1"

If you want to give phanpy a try, I run an instance of it here.

#fediverse #selfhost #selfhosted #selfhosting

Let’s do this a different way actually. Which of these are #SelfHosting (pick all that that apply)

@caleb I think if you're paying someone to host an instance of something and not using a BigCo's service, it's #SelfHosting. People can be pedantic if they want, but if you're going to the trouble to pay to run it yourself, even if you have someone keeping the lights on, it counts.

Do we still call it #SelfHosting if it’s on #Heroku or similar? There’s the extreme view that to self host you must run the server but that seems like overkill.

Do we still call it self-hosting if it’s something like masto.host?

Tentatively I’d say yes for Heroku (managed server) and no for masto.host (managed _hosting_).

Good morning Fedi friends,

I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

My way of coping?

Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.
