because it's common in this space, this is a little #introduction
I'm completely new to all this Social Media stuff and I was very skeptical about it in the past. Due to the evil nature of their corporations, I avoid Facebook and Twitter like the plague. But because ActivityPub is a free protocol and not bound to corporate interests it seems interesting. I'm not sure if I'll like it or post frequently - I'm just trying it out.
I'm an enthusiastic computer, GNU/Linux and *BSD hobbyist. I like to tinker around with hard- and software in my little homelab. I'm in no way a professional or expert of any kind in the IT field. Just doing things for fun.
Also interested in Gemini and the smolnet/indieweb. The way the internet is heading these days isn't very promising. When I discovered the gemini protocol in 2021 I was imediately intrigued. So I set up my own little capsule which I now regard as my private home in the online world (link in profile).
I hope we have a good time together!

I dabble in #SelfHosting and other computer tinkering; and I'm pretty much constantly playing some kind of game (probably to a detriment)
And if it wasn't completely obvious I'm a #Furry lmao
Expect lots of rambling, probably some ranting; and a metric ton of hornyposting!

Galera como vocês classificariam a dificuldade/tempo de dedicação necessário pra uma instância de pequeno/médio porte no fediverso?
Me refiro a tipo, é só fazer a instalação e cuidar o espaço em disco? Ou tem que ficar entrando na máquina, rodando comandos loucamente?
Se tiverem alguma referência (algum relato ou blog falando sobre a experiência positiva/negativa de manter uma instância) eu agradeço!
Outra coisa, o pixelfed trás algum desafio diferente do mastodon/GoToSocial ?

If you use #NameCheap for anything, another round of "Your Auto-Renewal Payment Didn’t Go Through" phishing emails are hitting inboxes. #infosec
Where they are getting real emails that link up to real domain renewal whois records, esp if you use domain privacy options, I'm not sure. They sent it to a dedicated email account that I use exclusively for Namecheap that shouldn't be in the publicverse.

I wanted try out #deepseek and #Chatgpt o3-mini al little bit and thought: Get your #selfhosting setup cleaned up and those #nextcloud errors.
In a way I hate to say it, but #AI was way easier and faster than hours spent searching the web, reading reddit and asking in forums. And I totally get why that is: I can't expect that everybody and there grandfather jumps to my help. And AI is borrowed knowledge.
This afternoon's project: "A self-hosted Wikipedia (and other bits) clone, using kiwix on a Raspberry Pi 4"
I thought that it might be a good idea to have a local (well, on my local network) copy of Wikipedia, and some other bits.
The go-to tool for this seems to be kiwix, and that’s what I used, running on a Raspberry Pi.
The hardest part was faffing around with the SSD...

Tempted to move from proprietary software/platforms?
Here's what works for me:
https://decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/running-a-law-firm-on-free-software-2024-edition/
tl;dr:
Windows/macOS --> Debian
Word/Pages --> LibreOffice Writer
Outlook/Mail --> Thunderbird/mutt
Gmail --> postfix/dovecot
WhatsApp --> Snikket/Signal
PowerPoint/Keynote --> reveal.js
Zoom --> Jitsi
Chrome/Safari --> Firefox
Dropbox/iCloud --> Nextcloud
Microsoft Forms --> LiberaForms
@maple @mastodonmigration
I imagine most people who want the easy path, and don't care about centralized silos, will probably stick with WhatsApp.
These days, thanks to @snikket_im , there's a pretty simple app for both Android and iOS, with end-to-end encryption on by default. And they've put a lot of work into making it easy to host your own Snikket server, and give easy invitations to your friends to download the app and get an account on your server. There's a paid hosting option, as well as a docker container. Not everyone will be able to self-host a Snikket server, but I don't think you need to be an ultra geek any more.
Ok, if anyone can solve my little #selfhosting power problem, it's the people connected to me on Mastodon. Feel free to boost.
I just turned off a #Juniper switch that was pulling like 200W and replaced it with a #Mikrotik switch that pulls 20W. The Juniper had one benefit that the Mikrotik lacks, and that's dual power supply. Mikrotiks just have one 24V 1.5A DC in.
If I want to buy 2 power supplies and connect them to my 2 UPSes and achieve some measure of redundancy, is it possible? What's the name of the device and is it expensive? I've drawn a picture to help.
If this is like past tech questions I've asked on Mastodon, I'm gonna get 10 Alibaba links to a "bivalent multivolt snargleprong" or some shit I've never heard of, and everyone else has like 3 in their top desk drawer.

#selfhosting folx: how much of a bad idea is to expose Nextcloud (on my NAS at home) over the internet?
Does anyone have any experience with Elest.io managed hosting?
Especially Fediverse software?🤔
I'm pretty Linux illiterate. Always relying on VERY detailed instructions with commands and such to get me by.
However, lately, Mastodon's updates have led me more and more into the "uncomfortable" area of running my own instance.
I still want/need more customization than can be offered by options like masto.host or toot.io and Elest.io seems to provide that customization. For example, being able to run a script that clears out certain cached data and hosting my media on S3.
If anyone can let me know their experience with Elest.io, I would appreciate it. If I get good responses, I might spin up a new instance on there and migrate at some point.

Hey adventurers!
It's time to decide in which adventure we will delve into this time, and of course it's all about one (or two or three 👀 ) Fediverse service(s) we will host!
#TheGamersTavern #Fediverse #Pixelfed #Lemmy #Mbin #Writefreely #SelfHosting #ActivityPub
The next The Gamer's Tavern self-hosted service will be:
| Pixelfed: | 4 |
| Lemmy/Mbin: | 1 |
| Writefreely: | 2 |
| All of the above: | 1 |
What kind of issues or concerns might I have if I shut down one kind of AP server software and then set up a different AP server on the domain previously occupied by the now decommissioned first AP server?
(I don’t think the soon-to-be-shutdown server has a self-destruct.)
@dansup It def. works better now. Thanks!! Are u using cloud resources or #selfhosting?
Anyone here use #WriteFreely?
I've just set up a self-hosted WriteFreely blog as a first experiment with self-hosting instances and using @yunohost (huge thanks to @_elena for your tips! 🥰)
At least from initial setup, it looks like only the first line of the post and a link is pulling across to Mastodon.
Is there any way to make the full post text visible on Mastodon?
I can see who's following the blog, but not any comments. Any way to turn on notifications for this?
Also, is there any way to follow an account from WriteFreely? (I'm interested, because it would in theory allow me to follow BridgyFed, and make the posts visible on BlueSky.)
Are these limitations of the platform? Or is there a setting somewhere I missed?

@psyhackological you could probably still create a reverse tunnel and initiate the connection from the client and forward the traffic. But this is not only about “#homelab” - #selfhosting (imho) can also be done in datacenters (or at home). It’s about hosting the things on your own, not bound to a specific location, or is it?! That’s what I like to discuss here and to see what other ones interpretation is :)
What means or is #selfhosting for you?
I think most ones will identify this with simply running something on their own system, that is under their own control. But is this enough? For data sovereignty probably…
- Is that really enough?
- What about everything else? What about the infrastructure?
- Should you run your own ntp, dns etc?
- What about your provider? Simply getting an IP assigned from your provider or become yourself an ISP?
Where does it start and where does it end?

Hey, Fediverse! I'm looking for informed opinions on database choices.
I can stand up an Internet-facing application and have it use either mysql or postgresql. Which is the better choice, and why do you think so?
Thanks!
Earlier, a friend of a client came by who wanted to chat. He introduced himself as someone deeply involved in open-source and self-hosting, and we hit it off right away. He’s been using Linux on his PC for years and is comfortable with Debian. He agrees that self-hosting is the only way to keep the web decentralized. He then shared how he transitioned his website from dynamic to static using an SSG, and he’s thrilled with the result.
He walked me through his workflow: he edits the site, uploads it to some cloud (not sure which one), and clears the Cloudflare cache - he uses it to "save on outgoing traffic costs" from his provider. Alternatively, he mentioned he could host it on GitHub.
I explained to him that, in my opinion, this isn’t real decentralization or self-hosting, and I outlined the reasons why. He’d never thought about it this way and hadn’t explored the option of getting a “normal” VPS. He’s now decided to go for a cheap VPS, install nginx (which he knows how to use), and cut out the middlemen. He’s a smart and eager person, so I’m really glad we had this conversation.
Unfortunately, too many people today are convinced that hosting is only possible with the big players.

Great article: Why we use our own hardware at Fastmail
Update: yes, it was SO EASY a child (or a #Linux newbie) could do it.
I now have #YunoHost installed on my #VPS! 🥳
I wish I had timed how long it took - it was less than 5 minutes! This update comes 2 hours later because I've been dealing with other work stuff in the meantime.
All this to say: a HUGE thank you to the @yunohost team for creating such a phenomenal resource. Donation-as-thank-you coming soon 😊

To add an extra layer of difficulty to my #selfhosting journey, there is the issue of scarce free time.
Now I have 20 minutes before I need to cook for my child and then go pick her up from nursery school. Editing DNS records with the clock ticking is not for the faint of heart 😅
If struggling with DNS is a #selfhost rite of passage, I am ready to jump over this hurdle and get to the next!
Jokes aside, I'm super grateful for #YunoHost's crystal clear instructions.

My NEW idea of living dangerously: adding (or tweaking?) a PTR record for my VPS setup – because the last warnings I have on #YunoHost have to deal with reverse DNS.
✨ Just yesterday I had no idea what this all meant, LOL ✨
BTW if you find all these messages annoying, I recommend you mute my hashtag #mySoCalledSudoLife 🤗
And HUGE thanks to all the people who have provided brilliant tips so far!
Now REALLY wish me luck 😅
Good morning from Italy!
Taking advantage of the fact my parents are giving breakfast to my 3-year-old to do more #YunoHost tweaking.
I just ran the diagnostics and my jaw is ON THE FLOOR. I see GREEN ALL OVER - including "Email" (my nemesis) !!! 🥳
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Good morning Fedi friends!
Now that my VPS is set up correctly with #YunoHost, all I have to do is select the first app to install.
I was certain I would go with #Sharkey (as I'm totally smitten with it) but I'm now having a case of cold feet and wondering if I should pick #Friendica instead.
Do I select something beautiful and fun to use... or the most advanced software (with an old UX/UI)?
I'm currently the embodiment of the hard choice meme 😅

Nextcloud: Round 3 (or 4 or 5)
I’ve once again started the process of installing and setting up Nextcloud on one of my servers. It occurs to me that my Nextcloud instances always die a slow death. Something about that piece of software, I think, sort of just falls apart over time. This time I’m attempting to future proof it a little bit more than the previous times, but honestly I fully expect it to go about the same as usual. Then again, historically I have installed all kinds of plugins (or apps) and was running it on fairly low powered hardware. Setting it up on some decently powerful hardware on this go around though. I’ll also try to be more conservative with the app installs as well.
I might actually set up two separate instances and federate them together. Perhaps if I maintain multiple servers they’ll survive a bit longer? Or I’ll just be creating twice the amount of tinkering and maintenance for myself.
