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.
My website "hofstede.it" now lives in my own AS201379 on my asigned IP-addresses 🙂

Running my own BGP router in LONAP (London) with FreeBSD and FRR, where I announce my network 2a06:9801:1c::/48 to the internet.
Peering is still fairly limited, but that'll improve within the next weeks, when I get 2 new peers 🙂

Fiz o #selfhosting de uma aplicação semelhante ao Google Photos, e com a vantagem de ser criptografado de ponta a ponta. É o ente.io. Adeus ter que pagar por espaço em nuvens de terceiros pra armazenar as fotos pessoais.
A aplicação é facinha de subir com docker, e o app pra iOS é demais. Desconfio que para Android a experiência seja semelhante.
Pra quem tem curiosidade:

I have another new user of my #Plex server, and he is in Vietnam! Have no idea why, but it is so exciting.
After many people suggesting to use paperless-ngx when self-hosting I installed @papra. I didn’t know these tools existed, but it fills an unknown gap in my administration 🙏 #selfhosting
"...but there are still people who use #runit #OPenRC pr #s6... but we dont talk to these people..." 🤡

Build-in-public moment:
I’m wiring up OpenClaw to be deployed on any server/VPS via MLOX-with just the press of a button.
Status: works in principle, breaks in the details 😅
Still promising enough to keep pushing. If anyone feels like picking this up or collaborating on it, I’d be very happy to hand it over.
Oha... OVH bietet nun auch tägliche Backups von Bare Metal Servern an. Hab nun die erste Abrechnung bekommen. 200GB für ~1,80€ / finde ich fair und sehr nützlich.
Inspired by @ele selfhosting journey and I trying to get all this working and what I started from is getting Ghost working inside Yunohost.
Not that I want to publish a paid newsletter, I just thinking about moving from Medium and I like Ghost's post editor 😜
But I guess I did something wrong or whatever. Does yunohost allow install app like ghost right at domain root? Without some path like `/blog`? If that "blog" path added, Fediverse features seems to not work.
Decentralization shifts risk rather than removing it. Running your own services reduces dependency on platforms, but increases dependency on your own operational discipline. Backups, updates, monitoring, and recovery are no longer abstracted away.
What used to be handled by a provider becomes a set of explicit responsibilities. When something breaks, the cause is usually mundane. A missed update, an expired certificate, or a backup that was never tested. The tradeoff is autonomy for responsibility, and it is only obvious once you are operating the system yourself.

ИБП на моих домашних серверочках стал слишком уж быстро сдаваться. Похоже, что акум за 3 года подустал. Сегодня замена и переезд ИБП существенно ниже, так как под потолком он грелся неимоверно, что и снизило срок службы батарейки.
Замена на 9А/ч, сзади приложил бумажку чтобы нарисовать где сверлить отверстия под крепление к стене, вешаем на все 4 крепежа (вот не лень то было) и запуск. Если вы это читаете, значит запуск прошёл успешно. 🙂
Небольшой плюсик к стабильности…

I’m this close to releasing my first #iOS app. It will have a backend you can #selfhost.

Since my home server not intended for use by any people outside of my city (plus some VPN endpoints in other countries) — it is ok to ban some unwanted countries and cities from which I don't expect anything good, except attempts to hack my box to use my resources or set me up
.
So I added some GeoIP blocking to the npf with script to update GeoIP list — I blocked China, Iran, North Korea, etc and Moscow (because there are a lot of government and commercial backed bots coming from here). Results are good — the bots don't disappeared completely but the speed of adding new IPs to the blacklist is decreased
Sadly, I was unable to add USA and UK to the list, because looks like there are some limits (not found how to increase them
), which disallows to load a lot of CIDRs for these countries to the blacklist.
Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.
You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.
AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.
Reject this future.
Keep your hardware local.
Run #Linux.
Own your data.
The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

#snac is a pretty cool #fediverse #activitypub server software!
Super lightweight, no database, easy to set-up.
I will not replace my main #mastodon instance with it, but i really have some other use cases for it, for example some bots or so.
And from what I saw, the code also is pretty nice to learn things from it. (me, a c programming noob)
Edit: Totally dumb of me to NOT post the Git repo in the first place 🤦♂️

So turns out my lsi card just freaked out, idk what it is, probably that stupid 8tb drive I use to dump shit on. But yeah that appreciate took down my entire server.
Hey all! Just a heads up that I've got some fun self-hosting app videos coming soon, but they're going to take some time to get through.
In the meantime, I'll be releasing homelab hardware videos. I hope you'll check them out!
Thanks for your patience!
Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 🇩🇰 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

OK #selfhosting and #linux and other friends here's one for you. My wife's work has Google Drive subscription. My wife wants her own historical archives of her drives so if people delete or damage files they can roll back to a week ago or whatever. we tried this with #rclone but shes got terabyte drives with hundreds of thousands of files in folder hierarchies (biology data from decades of students).
Onko täällä muita #immich käyttäjiä? Immichin konteksti haku on kyllä uskomaton. Jos hakukenttään kirjoittaa vaikka ”sininen auto nurmikolla”, löytää se kuvakirjastosta kaikki kuvat, jossa näkyy sininen auto nurmikolla. Se on kyllä erittäin kätevä ja tulee käytettyä usein, kun pitää löytää joku tietty kuva, jonka muistan joskus ottaneeni.
Mutta haku pitää tehdä englanniksi, jotta se toimii oikein. Onko joku löytänyt jonkun hyvän koneoppimismallin (ML model), joka toimisi myös suomeksi? Huggingfacessa on kyllä joitakin #multilingual malleja. Jotain niistä kokeilin, mutta ei sekään toiminut suomeksi sen paremmin. Eikä jaksaisi testata niitä kaikkia, kun mallin vaihtamisessa kestää päiviä, kun pitää käsitellä uudelleen kaikki kymmenet tuhannet kuvat kirjastossa. Mun kotiserverissä ei siis ole tarpeeksi potkua tällaiseen testaamiseen.
Mutta jos joku muu olisi löytänyt jonkun mallin joka osaa myös suomea, niin olisin kiinnostunut kuulemaan kokemuksia ja vinkkejä. Ja jos löytyy joku takulla suomea osaava malli, niin sitten voin kyllä laittaa serverin pariksi päiväksi ruksuttamaan ja käymään läpi kuvakirjastoa uudella mallilla.

Ich wollte nur ein Backup, bekam aber einen goldenen Käfig. Mein neuester Exkurs führt vom schicken UniFi-Designobjekt zum ehrlichen Ugreen-Werkzeugkasten.
Wie ich TrueNAS auf widerspenstiger Hardware installierte, warum 128KB Small Blocks den N100 zum Fliegen bringen und wie „Wintermute“ endlich seine Bestimmung fand. Knausrigkeit als IT Ingenieurskunst! 🐧

Finally got my mastodon instance setup after about half a day of tinkering and trying to fix dozens of issues I kept running into. Hopefully it will be worth it!
I never used a platform like twitter or bluesky so I'm not sure how much I will end up using it. So far just hoping to use it as a mini personal blog.
I usually tend to enjoy setting up servers rather than actually using them, but lets see where this goes!
I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all.
I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts.

Like most people probably reading this, #IndieWeb is a topic I'm interested in. Portability and identity ownership matter way more than just self-hosting.
Also, I have thoughts on why #Mastodon isn't quite there yet compared to the "gold standard" of email.

That’s why I run a private Forgejo git.
Same git. Same workflows.
Different posture.
No feeds. No behavioural harvesting.
Just version control that does what it says on the tin.
Email is plumbing.
Git is posture.

Morgen bietet jemand im Rahmen des DI-Day 2 eine Online Session an zum Thema Nextcloud Selfhosting. Diese findet am 1.2.2026 ab 18:00Uhr statt.
Ich habe mir leider weder den Veranstalter noch den Link zur Session notiert. Würde aber gerne teilnehmen.
Wer kann mir helfen und sagen wer das anbietet?
If you’d like to test it without compiling and building your own image, the ready-made ones I keep for my own setup are always available at https://codeberg.org/daltux/-/packages/container/snac/versions
