Work @asymptotic on #GStreamer, #PipeWire & #PulseAudio. ❤️ #C, #Rust & #Haskell. Atheist. Views my own.

Metalhead. I love Old School Death, Black and Thrash #metal.

When I am not working or obsessed with code, I love to cook or watch anime. Love to read, but my reading has fallen by the wayside in the last few years. I also spend a lot of time watching food, cooking, train travel and Ramen/Udon street shop videos on NewPipe 😂.

Moved over from linuxrocks.online instance. Was sanchayan_maity on twitter (now deleted).

Trying out Mastodon self hosting at https://sanchayanmaity.com using #GoToSocial. I mostly post from my self hosting account now.

#gotosocial is quite lean. Was worried before that I might have to upgrade my #Hetzner instance. But all is well.

#selfhosted

Importing follows was one problem I had with #gotosocial. But that seems easily fixable by just making requests to the API. Did not think of that.

Solution suggested here.

Plus one for toot. Going to start using that instead of tut. My self hosted account should be good to go 🚀​ .

Started self hosting mastodon with gotosocial at sanchayanmaity.com. gotosocial being very alpha, it will be quite a while before I make that my primary account (probably going to end up being another year or two) but everyone on my follow list will see another follow request. Sorry about that 😅.

While making the decision considered snac2, ktistec and akkoma.

  • snac2 being in C was my first choice but was not sure about long term viability project wise. Push comes to shove I can always maintain C code base myself.
  • ktistec done in crystal lang and am fine with building from source. But one extra step. More features complete compared to gotosocial. This and gotosocial are the only viable simple alternatives IMO.
  • akkoma seemed still complex.
  • gotosocial implemented in go. Seems about right for self hosting. Get the release binary tar ball, extract, modify domain setting in config, put systemd service in place, add reverse proxy to nginx and done. Oh a database is needed, but just had to add a table to postgres since I already had it running for forgejo. If a db and nginx are already running, there is hardly much required for these two. Well reading for the first time took a while but very easy to get running.

Mastodon is good and all, but self hosting could be a little friendlier for single user instances. Till a Rust implementation comes along if at all, putting my money in gotosocial 🤞.

sanchayan,

@haskman Ya I was looking into follows and checking if relays can be used.

There is someone who is consistently cleaning up in #neovim with patches like this which is great.
