What makes you think Movim is a “hosted service”? You can easily self-host it and many people do: github.com/movim/movim
The developers of Movim are also hosting a public instance, yes, but the official on-boarding page lists it as only one among many others. A bit like how the Lemmy devs also host an instance.
Revolt/Stout on the other hand is rather a “hosted service”, as they are openly discouraging people to self-host it and make it intentionally harder to do so.

Ovh should work.
- Comment on Anyone using Revolt? 3 days ago:
You could also try movim.eu
It is XMPP based and supports a/v group calls and screen sharing. Voice channels like Discord are planned.
- Comment on 7 reasons I chose Btrfs over ZFS for my home NAS 3 days ago:
I agree that ZFS is a solid choice for that, but so it btrfs, which has basically all of the important features of ZFS, but is significantly easier to use and built into the Kernel.
- Comment on 7 reasons I chose Btrfs over ZFS for my home NAS 4 days ago:
Leaving RAM cache to be managed by the kernel has some benefits, especially on low end devices, which is what the article talks about.
- Comment on 7 reasons I chose Btrfs over ZFS for my home NAS 4 days ago:
Yeah, the typical uninformed FUD with anecdotes of btrfs failing them 15 years ago when they did something that was explicitly marked as experimental 🤦
For every person that complains about btrfs, there are 10 that have been using it since many years with absolutely no issues what so ever.

- Comment on Silent Storage Solutions for Homelab? 4 days ago:
That depends on the usage, see: xda-developers.com/smr-hdds-are-fine-for-your-nas…
If you keep this issue in mind and avoid resilvering / balancing they can work just fine in a media storage NAS.
- Comment on Silent Storage Solutions for Homelab? 4 days ago:
They use a lot less power too. For small home NAS they are really an often overlooked option.

If you have a Wi-Fi router in your home you are technically already running a server. With OpenWRT even quite practically, although sadly most routers are slighly too underpowered to do much with them.

- Comment on What if we’re thinking about “Fediverse funding” the wrong way? (Non-crypto idea) 1 week ago:
Taler isn’s a currency but a payment system. So yes each token generating entity would have their own token. There could be some sort of backend exchange mechanism (I think Taler is working on that), but basically the person receiving the token would have to redeem it with the same exchange that issued it. Legally it can’t be directly exchanged back to fiat money, but the exchange could issue a service contract with the person and pay them according to the tokens they hold.
- Comment on What if we’re thinking about “Fediverse funding” the wrong way? (Non-crypto idea) 1 week ago:
There is no need for a central org. It could be many different ones all using the same Taler software.
- Comment on What if we’re thinking about “Fediverse funding” the wrong way? (Non-crypto idea) 1 week ago:
Such a system could be easily set up with GNU Taler. I have been thinking about something like that for a while, and the main issue is the legal regulations for the organization that receives the real money. If you are not registered as a bank it is severely restricted where and how you can operate. The laws in Europe are basically ok if you want to have some temporary cashless payment system in a music festival or so, but something permanent and with more money involved is hard to do under the current rules.
- Comment on What if we’re thinking about “Fediverse funding” the wrong way? (Non-crypto idea) 1 week ago:
Such a system could be set up relatively easily with GNU Taler. The problem is rather on the legal side for the organization that holds the funds and converts it to the tokens. Unless you are registered as a bank there are severe limitations on how much money you can hold and covert.
- Comment on Need advice for buying first hardware 1 week ago:
The Intel Core i7 2600K will be fast enough for most regular things, but it is quite power hungry, so not so great on your power bill. Also the Intel Quicksync in it is old and thus not very helpful for hardware transcoding videos in Jellyfin, meaning you would need to do it on the CPU, which is much slower.
24GB RAM is definitely sufficient for most things and the SSD storage as well, although you might want to add some redundancy to that at some point.
The Geforce is pretty useless for server tasks and the NVenc chip in it is also pretty old, so I would just remove it, or maybe ask the seller to remove it and sell separately.

Nice work. Redoing all the above wall piping must have been a pain.

Linking this with some sound modem to transmit text data, ideally with some automatic repetition to remove errors, will probably be much nicer to communicate with. But cool concept overall.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 1 week ago:
OnlyOffice doesn’t have “Impress”. I think you are confusing that with LibreOffice or Collabora Office.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 1 week ago:
I think OnlyOffice supports that. There is an extension for that for Nextcloud.

- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 2 weeks ago:
They have been selling the same SoCs (slightly defective ones) in various forms for crypto-mining etc. and as a result Linux kernel support is supposedly quite good already.
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 2 weeks ago:
That is already possible, but the hacks to get it actually to run are quite annoying and limited to a few older versions AFAIK.
Hopefully with this you can just boot Linux normally on a PS5 in the nearish future. Would definitely make for a nice Steam Machine.

Yes, but open-core will come back to bite you in the ass anyways. Enshittification built in.

This is not a new argument, but the author is a bit confused with the terms. Usually it is phrased as “social network” Vs. “social media”.
