Openebs mayastor
But you could fit ceph on that I think. As long as your network between nodes is fast enough.
- Comment on Why is self-hosted voice chat so hard? 1 week ago:
It’s easy. Mumble. Or the thing you used probably still works.
But you see, people never actually seek a discord alternative. They want a discord alternative that is also federated, AND end to end encrypted, and each one makes things vastly more technically challenging and resource intensive and then you want them together.
A little secret: Matrix is much, much easier to host if you disable encryption and federation. Federation to many rooms is the main performance killer, and “failed to decrypt message” will all disappear if you disable encryption.
- Comment on Cheap or free periodical externals scans 1 week ago:
If your software updates between stable releases break, the root cause is the vendor, rather than auto updating. There exist many projects that manage to auto update without causing problems. For example, Debian doesn’t even do features or bugfixes, but only updates apps with security patches for maximum compatibility.
Crowdstrike auto updating also had issues on Linux, even before the big windows bsod incident.
neowin.net/…/crowdstrike-broke-debian-and-rocky-l…
It’s not the fault of the auto update process, but instead the lack of QA at crowdstrike. And it’s the responsibility of the system administrators to vet their software vendors and ensure the models in use don’t cause issues like this. Thousands of orgs were happily using Debian/Rocky/RHEL with autoupdates, because those distros have a model of minimal feature/bugfixes and only security patches, ensuring no fuss security auto updates for around a decade for each stable release that had already had it’s software extensively tested. Stories of those breaking are few and far between.

Second comment, but also investigate wazuh. It can audit systems and report vulnerabilities. It’s not an external scanner, but I have found it to be more effective and less annoying than greenbone/openvas.
- Comment on Cheap or free periodical externals scans 1 week ago:
Instead of trying to automatically scan your environment, it’s probably better to figure out how to automatically update applications first. CVE’s eventually get patched.

Fermi is just a custom client for discord/spacebar. It’s not federated.

It’s not federated, just easy to self host and point custom clients at.

Docker compose’s don’t really need to be maintained though. As long as the app doesn’t need new components old docker composes should work.

Literally reverse engineered discord, made open source.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
It’s not that hard though. There are companies that offer data recovery as a service. If the value of the data on those drives exceeds the cost of those services then it becomes worth it to fish one of the drives out of the dumpster and take it there.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 week ago:
This is not truly foolproof. Data can still be recovered from the spinning metal platter since it can theoretically be removed and put into a recovery device, even in a broken state.
Im addition to that, hard drives/ssd’s have sometimes have small flash memory chips, from which data can sometimes be recovered.
If you want it to actually be unrecoverable then you have to actually ensure all parts thay store data are truly deleted/wiped. Or just use encryption and throw away the key. Or just store them forever in a vault.
- Comment on LinkedIn checks for 2953 browser extensions 2 weeks ago:
Does the script attempt to run though? If linkedin runs this and other scripts it would explain why the site is so bloated.
- Comment on LinkedIn checks for 2953 browser extensions 2 weeks ago:
Does this work on firefox? Does ublock origin block this?
Is this why linkedin eats so damn much ram. It eays 300 mb for a single tab. I opened 3 linkedin tabs and it lagged my entire computer.

What about domain reputation?
- Comment on Is there a good email server that can be run through Docker? 3 weeks ago:
Have you considered that the reason why your mail server is trusted is because it’s been around for 20 years?
Have you tried to set up mail from scratch on a new domain/ip?
- Comment on My self hosted badges of honor 3 weeks ago:
these ones: www.etsy.com/shop/SoHexy ?
I think I’m in love. They have such great variety, and the artstyle is so neat. And I love stickers because they are such great conversation starters.
- Comment on Does university email give you any free server? 3 weeks ago:
In the old days, university IT put essentially no access controls on their networks, so students’ dorm computers were completely exposed to the internet
Dorm ethernet works this way for me right now. It’s how I host some stuff.
- Comment on What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable? 3 weeks ago:
Because the extensions replaced wordpress’ sitebuilder/editor. If I were to get rid of the extensions I would basically have to recreate the site anyways so I might as well switch away from wordpress.

Do you have a source or benchmarks for the last bullet point?
I am skeptical that optimizations like that wouldn’t already be implemented by postgres.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
have you looked at solutions which emulate github actions locally?
github.com/nektos/act this is one of them but I think I’ve seen one more.
Github actions also has self hosted runners: docs.github.com/en/actions/…/self-hosted-runners

What would you use if you had a choice?
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 1 month ago:
design around ease of self-hosting. A non technical user must be able to self host easily and at a very low cost.
This may be a controversial opinion, but I actually like the way that hosting a lemmy instance is somewhat difficult to spin up. I like the way that it is requires a time investment and spammers can’t simply spin up across different domain names. I like the way that problematic instances get defederated and spammers or other problematic individuals can’t simply move domain names due to the way activitypub is tied to those.
In theory, you could set up something like digitalocean’s droplets, where a user does one click to deploy an app like nextcloud or whatever. But I’m not really eager to see something like that.
Transferable user identity (between instances)
I dislike this for a similar reason, tbh. If someone gets banned, they should have to start over. Not get to instantly recreate and refederate all their content from a different instance.
Of course, ban evasion is always a thing. But what I like is that spammers or problematic individuals who had their content nuked are forced to start from scratch and spend time recreating it before they get banned again.
As for what I would really like to see, I would really love features that make lemmy work as a more powerful help forum. Like, on discourse if you make a post, it automatically searches for similar posts and shows them to you in order to avoid duplicate posts. Lemmy does something similar, but it appears to only be the title. It would also be cool to automatically show relevant wiki pages, or FAQ content, since one of the problems on reddit was that people wouldn’t read the wiki or FAQ of help forums.
I would also like the ability to mark a comment on a post as an “answer”, or something similar. I think stackoverflows model definitely had lots of issues with mods incorrectly marking things as duplicate, but I think it was a noble goal to try to ensure that questions were only asked once, and for them to accumulate into a repository of knowledge. For the all the complaints about it, stackoverflow is undeniably the one of the biggest and most useful repositories of knowledge.

- Comment on How do you manage your home server configuration? 2 months ago:
I have a similar setup, and even though I am hosting git (forgejo), I use ssh as a git server for the source of truth that k8s reads.
This prevents an ouroboros dependency where flux is using the git repo from forgejo which is deployed by flux…
