Writing a "step by step handholding retards guide to securely setting up fedi servers" guide since so many people ask about it.

@hiro

  • step 1 get "vps" from Frantech.ca
  • step 2 domain from the cheapest site you can find
  • step 3 ????????
  • step 4 your plemora server is running and will die in 1.7 years out of plemora rot press enter to continue
kirby,

@waifu @hiro i feel like this server ducks the rot problem with the post pruning settings. apparently poast does it too and they dont have problems. only thing that sucks is that my bookmarks disappear occasionally

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

Pleroma sucks ASS because emoji reactions don't get sent back to Mastodon. Also there are no Apple app store apps.

Misskey is better because it is mutually compatible with Pleroma and Mastodon, as far as I can tell. Also has a couple app store apps.

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro a. Yeah neither do misskey reactions /shrug. Also mastodon clients work with Pleroma you can literally go use the official mastodon app with pleroma most likely.

b. ??? Yes it's an activitypub application.. also Pleroma has them too just use any one of the dozens of mastodon clients with a pleroma instance...

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

I've actually tried though. Most of the iPhone apps for Masto &c fail miserably with the login process, even if two app platforms are compatible with federation. I've tried everything (like logging in via browser, inspecting JSON for tokens and stuff) cux I'm way too patient with alt tech shit.

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro when did you do this??? pleroma is basically fully compatible unless mastodon has updated their api and these apps are expecting missing fields and just dying there. it should be working fine

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

meh, maybe I'm just retarded

I think misskey as a heckin legit webUI tho, looks heckin more sleek than pluralmma

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro The misskey ui is okay I just wish it didn't immediately make my fans go wrrrrrr whenever i opened a misskey instance. I really like the pleroma fe ui its pretty easy on this machine and it has all the information i need on one screen and it also has a brilliant mobile ui.

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

Are you doing self-hosted? I've heard some folks have are doing raspberry pi stuff. I'm using an actual VPS cuz I don't wanna deal with shitty residential internet service

Actually I'm using two VPSs because I have a wiki and a wordpress installed (almost) on this same domain. hit my port 83, there's a shitty PHP wiki that I'm gonna replace with a better one

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro I am I also rent a vps. Pleroma runs fairly well on here, low memory footprint. Why

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

cuz I'm gonna hack you LOL

Nah, usually when ppl favor low-resource utilization over modern interfaces, it's cuz they don't have cloud hosting or dont wanna pay for it. No hate there, but I'm lovin my two VPSs. latent.subs4social.xyz (only has SSH port 22 exposed) is what's running my postgre database, plus whatever databases I set up for wiki and wordpress. 2 gigs of memory. $10/mo. tokyo.subs4social.xyz has port 80 and 443 open and costs $5/mo, with 1 gig of memory.

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro I installed pleroma on this server because I prefer pleroma and don't want to use any other software on this server.

also check me out :D

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

I'm committing all my config files into version control so I have a visible timeline of bugfixes and added features.

Also I had one VPS, in a different datacenter that didn't have extra cloud storage available. I migrated into a different datacenter, and broke it apart into to VPSs, by pushing and pulling from Gitlab.

I've got a bulk-download script that pulls my repos onto my personal hardware. If I get banned from my free gitlab, or banned from my VPS provider, I can restart my servers elsewhere.

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro thats nice. i just have a few directories containing back ups of stuff like a real professional :suicide:

also that is a LOT of tabs

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

I have plenty of webmail account for all my shitty alts.

I have to basically abandon my "real" email account every time I do a job search, successful or not. Too many fucking spammers and scammers and Indian call centers who want to fix my credit rating

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro install thunderbird?

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

I actually have Tbird installed and for some reason I... forgot to use it.

My bias towards modern and sleek-looking UIs strikes again

kirby,

@KuteboiCoder @waifu @hiro thunderbird IS modern :frothbug:

KuteboiCoder,

@kirby @waifu @hiro

On #Ubuntu #Mint #XFCE it looks like just another gtk2 app.

kirby,

@meeper @kirby @waifu @hiro @KuteboiCoder Using Beta, my thunderbird has two title bars due to gnome's CSD crap.
