- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 15 hours ago:@tofu @Steven_T_Baxter I had a #friendica server running in a couple of hours. Thats still too long. Ideally would like to see home servers as about as difficult as setting up an alexa.
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 15 hours ago:
@troyunrau I would say in that most small instances its hosting .. so practically thats using your internet connection, providing some hardware and electricity. Server rack? - Nah more like a #Dell micro or #bananapi like router sitting in the corner with an ssd and maybe a couple Tb of hdd inside it. When the user to server ratio is down in the under fifty : one range the hardware requirements are minimal. You can throw in email, Nextcloud and mediaserver while you are there.
In small instances the moderation load is basically zero (how many people in your family volunteer to moderate family/friend discussions IRL? The main thing is keeping an eye on what the kids are up to.
You got an issue with some content - block that person or server on your account/server and move on.
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 16 hours ago:@mesamunefire Utimately i would like to see improvements in the activitypub protocol / server software to support much more dynamic federation allowing smaller instances to store less ..and servers simple enought so host - plug and play in the home on your home router. The #BananaPiR4 isnt quite the right platform but its getting there. #Yunohost hasnt developed enpugh but its getting there. The time will come when everyone just runs their own server...
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 16 hours ago:@Steven_T_Baxter I think fedivers sustainability is an important topic .. but really i think the solution is lots of small instances run by /for groups of people who know each other
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 16 hours ago:
@tofu @Steven_T_Baxter Yeah honestly I found the comments more insightfull.
I do find the saviour complex of some people a bit frustrating. " I set up this instance for you - why arent you greatful and contribute?"
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 16 hours ago:
@Steven_T_Baxter So much to say here... Im a member of s sailijg club thats run for 125 years.
Yes keep costs down - self host amoungst your users with a distrubuted solution and.. really simply.. if you want to survive you have to have a very clear and limited policy on freeloaders. As a group decide how much (if any) you are going to offer without contribution.
If you dont ask something of people in return its not a healthly relationship and you people will value what you do at the price you have put on it (zero) . They wont value the operation and will waste its resources.
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 5 days ago:
@JeanValjean I am not in a position to judge but Id be interested to hear comments on this position.
From the Proxmox Discussion Forum
Linux Containers (= LXCs) and docker containers are something completely different. LXCs are system containers. These contain a full OS except for the kernel which is shared with the host. You will have to administrate them like you would do it with a VM.
Docker containers are application containers where you containerize a single appliance. You don't individualize/upgrade them. You just throw them away and create a new one. So you are quite limited what you can do with them, as all you can configure is what the container creator wants you to be able to change.So if you want a service as secure and independent as possible, or if you want to use Win/Mac/FreeBSD, use a VM.
If you want something like a VM running Linux, but you want less overhead, at the cost of security, use a LXC.
If you just want to run some services but you don't want to invest time on learning how they work or administrating them, then running a VM with docker would be a good choice. - Comment on HELP: Wireguard for home network with remote exit node 5 days ago:
@sem @portnull The one you want to use as an exit node is a commercial vpn provider right?
whatever you want - its pretty much achievable with openwrt, wireguard and some routing (maybe using policy based routing)
Bonus there is a wireguard client app for android that automatically switches off the tunnel back to your home server if you are on its Lan. Its called WG Wireguard.
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 5 days ago:@Creat @JeanValjean Alot of apps seem to come with Docker images - can you use those with Podman?
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 5 days ago:@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble @AFKBRBChocolate Is this users on a lemmy instance or users on any type of activitypub server engaging with lemmy communities? ive stopped using my lemmy account because I just subscribed to those communities from my friendica account
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 5 days ago:@Vendetta9076 @JeanValjean I happened to be searching on running docker inside lxc today. There were quite a few suggestions on configs to make them not go kurplunk. I think i might follow them..

- Comment on Looking for a buddy - Proxmox containers, Coopcloud or other packaged solution 1 week ago:@koala Quisas esta bajando por el verano. Muchos grupos tomar un descanso en agosto. (Mi clase del castellano por ejempo).
- Comment on Looking for a buddy - Proxmox containers, Coopcloud or other packaged solution 1 week ago:@frongt Yeah. i like aking for advice but some of the joy is the discovery and figuring out things. its a.balance right? I get heaps of support online but working something out by talking with someone can be fun.
- Comment on HELP: Wireguard for home network with remote exit node 1 week ago:@portnull I'm basically doing that with #Openwrt and #Policybaserouting - I've got different wifi ssIds that each have a different default gateway routed via different remote Openwrt routers - I can't say that I have it perfectly configured yet but it works. Internal traffic is routed across the VPNs depending on where the device is located so my server in one location is accessible from computers in the other two locations.

- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@jonathan i sort of find the process of adding #hashtags part of my normal composition - as I mention a subject, place or thing etc. What if you could have the option.of viewing posts with the hashtags not displayed within the body but collected and displayed at the bottom? - #Friendica does the second part already in its webapp - perhaps this could.be an option for other UIs such as the native #Lemmy UI, the various flavours of #Racoon or the very good #Fedilab app.
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@leraje Yeah I mean ideally it would be open source and self hostable - But lets not get into #PuritySpirals - Lets let a thousand flowers bloom.
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@DarkSpectrum @LegoBrickOnFire Oh definintely - There is no way that any organisation is going to abandon everything for just ActivityPub right now. Thats what makes sociamedia management tools so critical to the wider adoption of ActivityPub. There are two main channels for content - Those tools and CMSs - More of both that support ActivityPub are required.
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@leraje So the interesting thing straight away is that Fedica seems to allow me to register my Friendica server using the 'Mastodon' channel - I didn't have so much luck with Buffer
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@DarkSpectrum Ah sorry man. Hope it doesn't look too bad - Its a while since I used Lemmy directly. Dangers of the fediverse eh?
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@leraje Thanks - Didn't know about Fedica. I'll have to add it to the list of supported services (I really need to start a new website)
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@LegoBrickOnFire Ok you have really tipped my interest - Where are you located and are you a #nonprofit or a #charity ? - Feel free to DM me details if you don't want to post publically. I think your situation is really very typical - I'm interested in learning about your tech stack and how you approach things - This is a project I've discussed with a few partners already.
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@LegoBrickOnFire Well if you are using Buffer then keep using it - that's a start - (you can add a Mastodon channel) - Later social (is that later.com?) - Whats the website ? we can easily check. Honestly until (and yes I know I bang on) brands really learn the value of Owned media (which if you are using your own domain - then ActivityPub stuff is really something you own) - then they won't understand the value of Activitypub. - I cringe everytime I see a brand/organisation Fediverse account not using its own domain. If you want them to not screw up - then I recommend a combination of their own server on their own domain and actually making an effort to engage on the topic area (without being spammy)
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@LegoBrickOnFire Ok.. so just guessing that the key thing you might want to sell is the #Sociallistening / #engagement features of a solution alongside the value of #ownedmedia that ActivityPub brings. I think that your company is in a common situation. - Do you run a #CRM system?

- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:
@meldrik @LegoBrickOnFire What #CMS does your company have? What are you currently using for #Sociallistening / #socialmediamanagement ? Do you manage your own website? - Some background on these would help a heap.
Could simply creating a basic #ActivityPub server using #Wordpress or something else on your domain and then using a #crossposting to echo your #Twitter posts work as a starting point?
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@LegoBrickOnFire I understand that #Postiz and #buffer buffer.com/social-media-terms/… say they support it. I still find it weird that #Hootsuite doesn't appear to (I'm not a current user) and neither does #SproutSocial - What I find weird is that #marketers know the value of #ownedmedia and the challenges of #disintermediation that the big social networks cause for them - but there doesn't really appear to be a good guide to managing #brands on #Activitypub - Ditto for #Government agencies
- Comment on Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting? 3 weeks ago:@LegoBrickOnFire I was going to suggest this - Its #opensource but I haven't had any experience with it directly (I'd like to try it) @meldrik - What can you tell us about it?
