- Comment on Its a solar powered phone / webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams. 3 days ago:
Nice work. But the phone should be able to host quite a bit more, as it is actually quite fast.
- Comment on Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC 3 days ago:
You mean like today when sites don’t work without using Chromium or if you dare to have some tracking protection active?

- Comment on Kew woman fined £150 for pouring coffee down drain in Richmond 4 days ago:
Most street drains these days are for stormwater only and are not connected to the sewerage system or a proper wastewater treatment plant, thus pouring liquids into them is not much different from just pouring them into nature somewhere.
- Comment on Which operating system should I choose? 4 days ago:
Debian is fine and you can follow many tutorials (Ubuntu tutorials also usually work as the difference isn’t big).
- Comment on Revolt became Stoat 5 days ago:
Not sure if that is still in their FAQ, but the Stoat devs previously said that they don’t want federation, and if that every changes they would likely prefer XMPP or Matrix.
- Comment on Revolt became Stoat 5 days ago:
You mean the multiple millions of VC money and crypto investments? Absolutely.
The Matrix foundation also would have plenty of money if it wasn’t just a front for Element and most funds being siphoned off to pay for services provided by Element.
- Comment on Revolt became Stoat 5 days ago:
I wonder who made the legal threats. I suspect it was Element (Matrix), as they are the only ones with a possible to confuse trademark in the same business sector (“Riot” the old name of their webclient).
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Not automatically, but you can configure it to mirror certain video channels or individual videos. But I have not looked into that too much yet.
As for storage: a typical video you would find on such a platform with the different stored video resolutions and so on will take between 0.5 and 3 GB… depending on the length and how well it compresses.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Finally finished setting up and testing a Peertube instance. The video stuff and object storage related things certainly make it more involved than other fediverse software, but overall it is working quite nicely. Just need to find some workable solution to using GPU acceleration in containers, but I think I mostly figured it out (might work after a server restart, but my sweet, sweet uptime makes me procrastinate on that 😅 ).
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 1 week ago:
It is? Where? Please don’t say Reddit as that is full of advertisement bots pretending to be regular users.
I am more surprised by how popular Proxmox seems to be here, which is really just adding a lot of unnecessary complexity, but I guess the GUI comments others here shared applies to it as well.

- Comment on Forgejo v13.0 is available 1 week ago:
Not anymore, but afaik it is still possible with some not so bad manual work.
- Comment on Forgejo v13.0 is available 1 week ago:
The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.
While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.

Let’s hope there will be a VR version.

- Comment on I'm interested in setting up a misskey instance, and have questions. 1 week ago:
joinsharkey.org seems to be the only one that survived so far.
- Comment on I'm interested in setting up a misskey instance, and have questions. 1 week ago:
First you need to check if your ISP gives you a public IP (can be temporary, if you are fine with using dyndns). Otherwise you will need some tunneling service or run such yourself from a VPS.

That article is highly misleading.

- Comment on What's the best chat to self host? 1 week ago:
Ejabberd is definitly for more advanced user, but you can usually get help over at joinjabber.org (which has a webclient that you can use without an xmpp account).
But yes, Snikket and Prosody is easier to set up.
- Comment on What's the best chat to self host? 1 week ago:
I mean, XMPP is great, but if you are only intetested in private chats with your family in a virtual LAN then it (and Matrix) is probably overkill and a bit of a hassle to configure without a public domain (as that is expected for federation).
Maybe a Nextcloud Talk or a Jitsi Meet instance would be simpler?

- Comment on I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though. 2 weeks ago:
Unless you have experience with ethernet equipment and such it is probably better to start with some hosted service of an open-source app like Nextcloud or Immich or (slightly more advanced) a VPS somewhere. Doing it immediately from home with your own server has a steep learning curve.
- Comment on Really liking glance 2 weeks ago:
Needs Lemmy support 🤷
- Comment on XMPP servers / cokmunities? 2 weeks ago:
The reverse, i.e. getting outage notifications and so on via xmpp is quite common.
I can’t really think of any usecase to control self-hosted apps from a messenger, but sure, technically you could write such a bot quite easily.
- Comment on XMPP servers / cokmunities? 2 weeks ago:
XMPP is truly decentralized with no single point that collects this kind of data. There have been some attempts over the years, but they always failed to capture more than a fraction of the network. A recent one is more artistic in nature, probably realizing the futility of it.
The popular Conversations app has sold 100k+ units on the PlayStore, but since you can also legally get it for free, that is probably only part of the actual users.
- Comment on XMPP servers / cokmunities? 2 weeks ago:
Please don’t recommend jabber.org, it is super outdated and lacks almost all modern features.

What do you mean with bots in this context?
