Ich hoste mit #Yunohost meine eigenen Dienste. Darunter z.b. #invidious#searxng und #xmpp. Nun wollte ich gerne mal nachfragen, wie sicher das ganze ist, wenn ich z.b. Die Suchmaschine und auch XMPP öffentlich ins Netz stellen würde; was muss beachtet werden? Oder sollte ich davon ganz absehen?
Remember when #photography was about the #art of it, not clout-chasing or product-pushing? For example, in the late 2000s so many cool (not just meaning 'popular') photographers were on #Flickr. Then #Instagram came around in 2010 and #Facebook bought them out in 2012.
IMHO the mid-2000s was when #tech & online platforms started going downhill quick and tech #enshittification began to spread. I think the introduction of the #iPhone had a lot to do with it, not to mention the many tech acquisitions that have been happening ever since. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, the 'art' of photography feels lost now; pay-walled, plundered, copied, capitalized, and even censored. All of it beholden to whatever satisfies the venture capitalists, advertisers, and/or shareholders. Fuck all that. Let's take back the web. Let's take back tech. This is why the #Fediverse (including #pixelfed) and more broadly, concepts like #smalltech, #indieweb, #smallweb and #selfhosting etc gives me glimmers of hope.
Am running my selfhosted Mastodon instance on my NAS, but the frequent writing on the underlying shared volume (still old-fashioned HDDs) is increasing the I/O contention with other VMs. Am therefore going to move it away to a minipc with SSD in it. Will run the VM in Proxmox (which is new to me). First task: wait on the minipc.
Eine Nextcloud selbst bei sich zu Hause zu betreiben, ist gar nicht schwer. Mit dieser Anleitung ist die Einrichtung in wenigen Schritten abgeschlossen und deine Cloud ist auch aus dem Internet erreichbar, ohne dass du deinen Router konfigurieren musst.
Been enjoying using a Hisense A9. Without Google services, been discovering the world of Aurora Store and F Droid. With microG, apps think I have them, push notifications work and location is provided by Mozilla.
Now onward to move files, contacts and calendar to my own NextCloud server...
How confident are you about your self-hosting, that it won't just blow up some day and all your data would be gone?
I'd like to try to self-host as much as it would make sense (but without overdoing it) but I'm afraid I'd mess something up, and I'd lose everything I have.
What are your backup strategies?
I know Google/Dropbox/OneDrive/whatever can also lose users data, but I also know, that I have much bigger chance to blow my data up by myself than that they would lose it.
Taking a look at Gogs, as a self-hosted alternative to GitHub. Getting it running on a linode instance only took about 15 minutes, though I'd want to more closely understand all the configuration options before starting to really use it. It certainly looks nice and seems pretty responsive, albeit only hosting one small repository from one users.
Hmmmm #fediverse/ #selfhosting experiment question, what's the most effective balance of low effort and high value between rolling my own:
#Matrix Instance (I must have a discord bridge too, I know 0 people using matrix)
#Mastodon instance (probably single user instance...can I somehow HOST my posts on sirtaptap.com but still view via mastodon.social? federation sounds intensive & complex)
#Owncast (sounds relatively simple and 0 server cost when not streaming, right?)
How far can the virtualization go? Can I run everything in Proxmox? Router, wireless AP, firewall, DNS, VNC, web, reverse proxy, media, NAS... I'm thinking yes? Has anybody virtualized their router and wireless AP?
Why is #raspberrypi 4B (still) so expensive?
I've spent hours searching for an affordable set price and most sellers sell it brand new for €100 on average. 😩
Even on #eBay it's more or less same price - sometimes even for just the board.
I doubt this to be the case, but if anyone found a #EU set for cheap please do share.
In meinem Leben findet viel in Excel-Tabellen statt und ständig brauche ich neue um Dinge zu ordnen und zu sortieren. Das ist ja erstmal nicht schlimm. Blöd finde ich nur, dass ich seit Jahren dafür Google Spreadsheets nutze und einfach nicht wechseln kann, weil es einfach die beste Software ist und nichts dagegen ankommt.
I need some advice with a decision about self hosting.
Situation: I got a handful of websites and mail accounts as well as a Mastodon instance, a Conduit Matrix server and a bunch of other small utilities on my old server. I used Plesk to manage all this before, but now my old provider is charging a Premium for Plesk, so I'm migrating away.
Option A: My first idea was to ditch any sort of management tools and configure everything myself. I would make use of the Arch Linux AUR where possible to help with keeping everything up-to-date.
Option B: I gave YunoHost a go and I've been impressed with the amount of supprted software as well as its performance and reliability. It would be a big help, but I'm worried it would end up making things more complex since it's based on slightly-outdated Debian 11 and installing applications currently unavailable on YunoHost might require dirty hacks.
Note: Some of you might suggest containers. That is an option, but I'm not going to use Docker and make myself dependent on a commercial product again.
The latest news, software updates and launches (#CarPlay for @homeassistant!), a spotlight on #PiAlert - a network monitoring tool, and more in this week's self-hosted recap!
I run #Nextcloud on a VPS with 120 GB of storage and it was getting tight. So I got the #Hetzner#StorageBox at a wonderful price: 1 TB for €3.20/m.
I was a bit worried about the speed with such a cheap storage, but so far it's worked well. I've set it up as an external storage in Nextcloud, but if it continues to work well, I may just mount it to the Nextcloud data path at the system level and move all the data there.
