- Comment on Sharing my (real) first selfhosted project: OVH IP updater 2 days ago:
It does solve my problem in the sense that right now I need to configure each subdomain individually both in the OVH web-ui and then a second time on my firewall for the dyndns update. With a few dozen subdomains that is both annoying and easy to mess up accidentally.
If I can manage everything from env parameters in a single location that saves me a lot of hassle.
- Comment on Sharing my (real) first selfhosted project: OVH IP updater 2 days ago:
Cool. I am currently using the OVH dyndns option and it is a bit annoying that you have to update each sub-domain individually and can’t just tell OVH to update all subdomains to the same new IP via a wildcard.
Is that something your script could do?
Also it seems like the OVH dyndns API currently only does either IPv4 or IPv6 but not both the same time.
- Comment on Has anyone successfully self-hosted Firefox Sync? 3 days ago:
An the Syncserver still runs on Python2 with multiple kniwn vulnerabilities.
There is a new Syncserver written in Rust, but it seems in continous half finished state or so.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 3 days ago:
Some WebDAV server, can be Nextcloud but actually something more lightweight is better.
Also a XMPP server is very nice to have. Even if you don’t have many contacts on it (yet), it works very well has a notification service and can even be extended to act as a Unified Push distributor.
- Comment on How to convince my uni / dept. to switch to Mastodon? 3 days ago:
Unless they have an active IT department that is already hosting various websites for them, it is probably better to show them some hosted offer like this: masto.host
As for your questions:
- Medium difficulty as far as self-hosting goes. Mastodon is a Ruby on Rails app.
- Really depends on the number of users etc.
- See no. 2. a few hundreds $ or so.
- As others have mentioned, let them make an account on an existing server first, it can be migrated to your own server later.
- Comment on Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea? 4 days ago:
Not really what you are asking for, but I found the combination of KaraDAV and Filestash to be a great alternative to Nextcloud, and much more stable for basic use.
As for Owncloud… I am skeptical of the company behind them ever since they split off into them and Nextcloud. Probably better to avoid, regardless of what you think of Nextcloud.
- Comment on I'm moving to another city soon. What are some good apps that could help? Inventory, logistics, etc 4 days ago:
If you need it you will find it, and if you don’t, maybe it is unncessary clutter in your life that would be better to get rid off in a yard sale asap?

Is the source-code for this website available somewhere? Might be pretty nice to have for other instances as well.
- Comment on My Thoughts on GoToSocial - James Ashford 5 days ago:
It’s a bit confusing at first that it comes with a read only web-interface, but once you got a Mastodon app or an frontend like Phanpy set up with it, it works quite well.

- Comment on Breezeway Greenhouse Help? 1 week ago:
Should be fairly easy with some transparent corrugated roof sheets. Make sure it is closed all around to prevent high winds from lifting it off, but also have sufficient hatches for ventilation in the summer.

This is kinda off-topic for this community. Maybe rather post it in our /c/outdoor community?

- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 2 weeks ago:
Na, these ones are super strong and probably cost more than a solar panel installation would have, especially if you factor in the electricity it produces over time. It’s just silly and probably decided for by some boomer who drives an SUV.
- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 2 weeks ago:
I am quite furious at a local supermarket installing sun-shades over their parkinglot and it is not solar panels but rather a really stupid looking permanent tent structure that couldn’t even be retrofitted with solar-panels. This is so stupid that I decided to boycott them over this alone.
- Comment on community not federating 2 weeks ago:
The auto-setting is about what the language the frontend uses, what Blaze meant is the language visibility setting in your profile.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 3 weeks ago:
The same is true if you use a Matrix server other than Synapse and a client other than Element. If fact these days the spec incompatibilities are way worse on Matrix than on XMPP.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 3 weeks ago:
You should try it again instead of speading very outdated info about it. All major clients and server implementations have more or less feature parity and interoperate fine these days. What you are saying was true 10+ years ago when Matrix didn’t even exist yet, and Matrix has very similar issues with different client and server combinations these days.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 3 weeks ago:
but God is it painful to self host an xmpp server
You are in for a world of pain regarding Matrix if you think xmpp is painful to host. Compared to hosting a Matrix server, XMPP is very pain-free to host. Sure, it takes a slight bit of effort to understand that there are other protocols than HTTP, but beyond that that initial learning curve, XMPP servers are extremely hassle free.

LibreTranslate is a bit hit or miss depending on the language, but generally speaking it is quite good, but not Deepl level good.
- Comment on Federated social media from before it was cool 3 weeks ago:
And XMPP (1999).
- Comment on How are Misskey and its forks doing? 3 weeks ago:
Can’t say much about the other forks, but Sharkey seems quite nice. Also, they recently developed a nice XMPP account integration for it, but it would probably also work with other forks.
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if their recent bid to take over Intel, is related.
The irony would be very thik as Qualcomm played a big role in killing Intel’s 2010er efforts to enter the mobile sector.
- Comment on [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers. 4 weeks ago:
No, as only the instance admin that hosts the original account can indirectly associate a user handle with actual “personal data”. An admin of a federated instance can not, as they do not have any “personal data” to correlate it with.
If a user themselves posts “personal data” publicly it is not covered by the GDPR IANAL and thus not subject to mandatory deletion requests. Of course deleting everything is often the easiest course of action, but this is not legally required.
- Comment on [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers. 4 weeks ago:
It mostly only effects their own usage to be banned from another server, so why would an instance admin care?
- Comment on [Question for admins] How do you feel about your users requesting content or account removal from other servers. 4 weeks ago:
Lemmy doesn’t federate “personal data” to other servers.
Requesting the deletion of posts that they agreed to be federated when signing up is purely voluntarily but usually done as it is fairly easy to ban a user and delete their contributions.
- Comment on A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping" 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think these people are necessarily “toxic users”, but rather just deluded ones. It’s a bit like that saying about privilege… you only think about it when someone is threatening to take it away.
The asymmetry of effort between moderators and regular participants is what forces this hidden entitlement into the open.
- Comment on A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping" 4 weeks ago:
I think this is the root of the “mods are assholes” issue. It’s not that the mods are power tripping. It’s that they are placed in a role that will lead inevitably to toxic behavior, unless someone turns out to be a solid gold saint, which few of us are.
While part of it, I think the bigger issue is that the typical male participant has “main character syndrome”, and when a mod doesn’t want to spend a lot of time with them specifically because they have better things to do, these participants turn to whining about unfair treatment, when in reality it is just their overinflated sense of entitlement.
- Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this. 4 weeks ago:
Social democrats do not code as “right” anywhere in the world.
Except in Portugal, where the conservative party calls themselves Social Democrats.
