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.
Jeder der mich, vermutlich fragen würde bekäme die Antwort ich weiß nicht viel von Web, Hosting, co. doch falls Ihr das noch nicht wusstet das chinesische Unternehmen https://www.lierfang.com/en/ hat Proxmox ARM Fork veröffentlicht vor ein paar Jahren, VMs auf SoCs ist schon cool, wenn die meisten anderen nur Containern. Ziemlich nützlich für sysadmins

This is the best evidence, that Google is going too far.
I got email, that my 200 GB Google One plan is being phased out (with wife we have shared sub for Google Photos), and I have to choose between 100 GB (too small) or 2 TB (too expensive).
Wife, who not even 2 weeks ago asked me how to open file browser on her MacBook, asked me if I can make "some server thingy", to have our photos locally, and not in Google Photos.
So here I am, configuring Immich locally!
Homelab #ddns went down; ended up being a weird agglomeration of #Cloudflare issues, but I think the main one is their IPv4 checker service went down (or was misconfigured). Just updated my ddclient config to point to a different checker and it appears to be up again :)

Ich habe gerade den Nextcloud Client auf meinem Arch Linux Mini PC installiert und eingerichtet.
Jetzt kann ich auch auf meinem Arch Linux Mini PC auf meine selbstgehostete Nextcloud Instanz ohne Browser zugreifen😃
Schon geil😁
Hallo Fediverse! Grüße direkt aus dem eigenen Maschinenraum! 🤖👋
Es ist vollbracht: Nach einigem Schrauben, Konfigurieren und Umziehen sende ich diesen Post hochoffiziell von meiner komplett eigenen GoToSocial-Instanz!
Nebenbei läuft hier im Hintergrund auch mein eigener Matrix-Server. Warum der ganze Aufwand mit Proxmox, LXC und Co.? Weil digitale Souveränität einfach ein unbezahlbares Gefühl ist. Meine Hardware, meine Regeln, meine Daten. 🛡️ Keine Algorithmen, keine großen Tech-Konzerne, die mitlesen.
An alle Follower, die den automatischen Umzug von meinen alten Accounts mitgemacht haben: Schön, dass ihr heil auf PlanetBotler gelandet seid! Macht es euch gemütlich. ☕️ 
Auf einen tollen, dezentralen Austausch! 🌌

Tired of Enshittification? Take your knowledge offline.
I am currently self hosting a @kiwix instance on my homelab. Having local, searchable copies of Wikipedia, the ArchWiki, and iFixit feels like a cheat code for digital sovereignty.
Spin up the Docker image, grab your ZIM files, and stop relying on big tech to keep the lights on for your reference data.

The price increase from Hetzner made me rethink my personal infrastructure ..
- Migrated last service off an old auction server
- Moved the content of my StorageBox to my FreeBSD ZFS
- Migrated and cancelled a CPX42 VPS instance
- Migrated and cancelled a CAX21 VPS instance
One more CX23 is currently in the process of being virtualized on my Proxmox cluster.
The Mastodon instance burningboard.net is still running there as cloud instances. But the price of those resources will only increase by ~4€/Month and I don't want to migrate it again (Just moved on the current system in December 2025)
So in the end, the Hetzner bill will be considerably lower in the future, since I reduced my infrastructure footprint by a lot and consolidated things on my bare metal servers in a CoLo datacenter 🙂
Sometimes a trigger like that can break through the laziness and have a positive outcome 🥳

Der Kleingarten-Verein der Liebsten hat das übliche Problem: Mails vom VPS werden öfters mal von Microsoft und jetzt auch T-Online abgewiesen.
Erst meckerte MS wegen der Netcup-IP, nun motzt T-Online wegen IONOS. Aktuell läuft der Datenverkehr über Wireguard Netcup -> IONOS.
Hat wer von Euch eine Empfehlung für ein brauchbares Mail-Relay?
Verein ohne kommerziellen Background, daher gerne so günstig wie möglich. Ist #Mailjet empfehlenswert? Eine Fußzeile mit Werbung wäre akzeptabel.
Danke im Voraus.

💖 hi! i'm self hosting a gotosocial instance now, and this is my new primary account! please boost to help me federate this instance more!!
about me: i love people, and i especially love the people in my local community. some of my goals in life are getting my own wiki page (im vain), building a housing cooperative, and being the best woman i can possibly be for my partner. i love being intentional with my aesthetic, which has evolved over the years into the pink & black combo i do now. 🖤💖
i have been on some form of mastodon since 2022. i believe we all need to do as much as possible to boycott companies that do or support unethical things, like donating to fascists. for me, using the fediverse is a great alternative to corporate social media.
still, i really value my time - so my following list is very small and i do not spend large amounts of time here. i try to spend my time doing productive things - lots of which are related to @vs - or connecting with the people i love.
on this account you can expect to see lots of random thoughts, some questions, polls, photos (including some cw'd lewds), ventposts, and general nonsense. thanks for following me! 💖

# Moving my static site blog generator from hugo to BSSG
My notes on setting up BSSG, and migrating from hugo, along with copies of my config files, css, and customised header.
With many thanks to @stefano, for sharing his amazing site building tool with us.

My server PC started to do the random clicking noise. One of the hard drives is about to fail. This unintended notification warned me sooner than SMART did.
I want to use this opportunity to finally add some redundancy to the storage. Now I have a btrfs on lvm on luks. I am thinking: Should I get rid of lvm and just have btrfs with raid1 on luks? Or shoud I have btrfs on lvm with raid1 on luks? 🤔 Can't decide.
Wow, what a difference. After more than a year since I installed friendica, I added memcached. It went from unusably slow to just completely normal and usable!
Why didn't I do this right away? Probably because it's poorly documented that this is even possible.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy I finally fixed the performance issue on my server. Yay!
Well, I was considering Booklore for my #homelab. However, after this little piece of information, that's right out...
Not only has it become AI slop, the dev is making it REALLY difficult to be even remotely sympathetic...
So, that's right out of the window, I'm sure there are other, non-sloppified, at least as good #selfhosted book management pieces of software...

Gestern war ich bei der #C3Selfhosting User Group. Und es waren (mal wieder) überwiegend als Männer gelesene Personen dort.
Warum ist das so und viel wichtiger: Wie können wir die Diversität an der Stelle erhöhen?
Ich mache mir Gedanken darüber und freue mich über euer Feedback / eure Meinung.

I am looking to host a **de-federated** mastodon instance for 300 to 500 people.
I wanted to know what kind server specs I should go for for this kind of project. should I go for 8gb or 4gb of RAM, roughly how many vCPUs/threads, etc..
The closer I get to #selfhosting my own #email, the more I'm finding myself unsubscribing and blocking emails coming into my personal inbox.
@mosgaard you're all missing the simple and obvious. *Every* Linux File Browser *already* has built-in support to connect to a remote SFTP share (the remote #linux box needs the "openssh-server" installed).
It goes almost full wire speed, even on tiny files. Beats SMB for speed. I use this heavily in my home lab. For example in #KDE Dolphin: "Network": icon on left - > "Add Network Folder" button in the upper right - > "Secure shell (ssh)" radio button.

Not sure why I did this, but ejabberd works fine on my gen 1 raspberry pi (14 years old, 512mb RAM). Would probably enough to handle a small instance for friends and family.

I did not find any documentation or issues on this very nice topic on the web, maybe Fedi can help:
I want to ssh into a remote server and a CLI tool there needs to access my yubikey, which is slotted in the machine i am connecting from.
Is there any way to relay this between the machines?
I do not need help with using the yubikey to log on via ssh...
Not sure which hashtags to use here, if you have any good ones, let me know.
I'm looking for a simple web based chat app that I can selfhost . I'd prefer something with voice chat but I need to keep bandwidth low. IRC may be too key-board heavy for this use case
suggestions are welcome
I was kind of not bothered to address IP renewal whilst self hosting but it turns out my ISP does indeed refresh IPs every now and then so I finally set up a utility to refresh domain records
I have an #xmpp server now. A #prosody instance. And I need to make a statement.
There are no good clients for macOS and iOS.
I think I tried all of them. #Monal is a lesser evil.
There is also #Fluux that is very good and really looks like software from the current century, but it still doesn’t support encryption.
This is sad 😔
Oh for fuck’s sake. TrueNAS has been my go-to recommendation for people wanting to build their own home NAS, but I guess it’s off the list now that the enshittification has begun. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1rpck7k/truenas_build_system_going_closed_source/
tl;dr: they’re moving from a public GitHub repo to closed internal systems for “SeCuRiTy”… likely story considering they’re rolling out new features behind a paywall (see https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/1qvu7f8/truenas_freemiumpaywalling/)
I see a lot of self-hosters have Macs in their #homelab. I’m wondering how it works? Is it still MacOS on it or is it just Apple hardware with Linux on it?
