- Comment on Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance? 3 days ago:@EarMaster I'm going to say that if you are doing it for wider family that might still be worth it (given that you can get a private stream and your network feed might be more relevant for other family members - But then it is a case of bringing your family along with you.. If you are doing other stuff for them (email, file sharing , device management - Then maybe an ActivityPub server becomes a bit of an addon
- Comment on Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance? 4 days ago:@Ulrich Ia really think the idea of having a 'common bond' is a good idea to stick to. Whether thats 'my family ' or ' members of my sailing club' or ' people i went to school with' Anything beyond that you want some legal structures between you and the users to provide a level of protection

Now I can't help them when it comes to #gotosocial - So perhaps others can chip in.
My thoughts were that with separate subdomains (or domains ) in Yunohost you can separate out instances for Family/Friends and the group they belong to but
I'm also aware that some #ActivityPub servers can run multiple separte instances for different groups while optimising federation - I think #takake did that - but again I don't know much about that approach -
When it comes to the questiona bout being maintained. THat is a question a group I belong to has been considering since they worry about having to maintain infrastructure for a Sports Club and don't want to get bogged down in keeping the lights on - Here I guess I think using templates where possible (which I think Yunohost is kind of ) and professional support for #Opensource solutions might come in handy . (people like #autonomic I guess - or just having enough people in your group to provide the support..

And the link gave me flashbacks, because I tried to create my own lemmy instance. I worked every day for a month on it to throw it away in the end. It had so many bugs and a few seconds after my instance was online, I had weird conversations in my database, which couldn't be seen in the UI. And talking about the issues with the creator of lemmy was a little bit a pain, too.
After this, I've started a classical forum (flarum), because it looked like the fediverse is doing weird things, like polluting the database with garbage.
> Doesnt need to be Mastodon - could be Friendica or Gotosocial
I don't get the concept of gotosocial? It's like having a Mastodon instance with yourself. How do people find you?
I guess it's not made for creators, but for nerdy consumers, right?
> Lots of ways to simplify the process - I use Yunohost gives me Email, >Nextcloud and ActivityPub for friends and family
That's for sure, but there is still the problem that it must be maintained and if you already have a community, it would be really easy, but without a community or even people who know what this is, you have to do it all by your own. This could be stressful and depressing (imho).

gotosocial looks like it could work, but not for the whole family :D

Doesnt need to be #Mastodon - could be #Friendica or #Gotosocial
Lots of ways to simplify the process - I use #Yunohost gives me Email, Nextcloud and ActivityPub for friends and family
Ideally Id eventually like to see something like this packaged into a router like #openwrtone One

- Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready 1 week ago:
@cmeu What kind of custom firmware do you use? Is that #openwrt - if not consider it.
Check with your FTTN provider - Are they using CGNAT or any other IP4 sharing tech - if so you will need to see if they will do you a static IP or otherwise except you from IP sharing.
At least outside the US most ISPs will let you use your own router with their Fibre modem but if not you need to know how to get their device into bridge mode or at least forward some ports to your own devices.
- Comment on Imapsync - Installation and use 3 weeks ago:
@Socket462 Yeah I did some dry runs and the folders maoped but I think its something about the labels .. Ill dig further.
That info about running via cron is really useful.
- Comment on Imapsync - Installation and use 3 weeks ago:
@Socket462 Thanks yeah. I think you are right. I have managed to have some success with extracting emails from #Gmail using #imapsync. I've done a couple of test runs but think that I have an issue with labels (basically I end up with emails in the All Mail folder but not in Sent or Inbox ) so I think I need to look at the options a bit.
Where should I / would you keep scripts that I create to run either one off or on a regular basis ? Should I create a folder in /etc/imapsync ? I have never really understood the folder structure of Linux despite trying to read up on it a few times.
- Comment on Imapsync - Installation and use 4 weeks ago:@Krik Yeah no man page and /etc/imapsync doesn't exist - I've also had a look at the documentation on the site (imapsync.lamiral.info/ but the documentation feels a bit free form - I mean Hey its free software I don't expect anything - I have managed to get it running using the example config I found on the site and just creating a folder in a subdirectory of my ~/ and seem to be making some progress with some dry runs. I'm actually hoping to move emails into my email account running on #yunohost.

- Comment on What is your self-hosting setup for home thermostat? 2 months ago:@atzanteol @aubeynarf Clarification here There are ZigBee thermostats that are integrated sensors and switches where you can control the switch, read the sensor and control the set point both on the device and via ZigBee so they are controllable locally in two senses - on the device and with the home. There are proprietary Smart thermostats that may be local on the device but rely on external servers for any off device control. then there are Proprietary thermostats that are totally dependent on an internet connection to do anything - Its important to check
