What modern solutions are there similar to dyndns?

    • Anyone else using Mac minis as VM hosts for self hosting? My Friendica server is a Linux VM on a Mac Mini in my living room. The VM is bound to a VLAN tagged network interface so it’s completely firew

  • @aniki As I said, I did the comparisons fully expecting to get a NUC. The Mac was cheaper at the performance point.

    As for US prices, not especially relevant to me. Import taxes are a thing.

  • @Skwiggs Few months. I was using an old laptop with Debian before but Friendica was cooking it, literally.

    The M2 Mini doesn’t break a sweat. It just takes the load and gets on with it.

  • @ninjan friendica can get quite heavyweight.

  • @aniki because it was the cheapest machine available for the performance I wanted in a useful form factor.

  • @deleted I couldn’t find one with equivalent performance to the M2 for less money.

    I am not purchasing in dollars.

  • @TCB13 I was surprised as well.

  • @BornDeranged I’m running everything in containers. Not got anything which cares which architecture the server is. Data is data.

  • @Skunk Nice. I’m happy with the M2 running MacOS and just spinning up Linux VMs in UTM as needed. It seems to handle them without breaking a sweat and, for self hosted stuff, having the VM bridged to a VLAN tagged interface gives me that extra reassurance without having to have the whole machine on that interface.

    If the baddies compromise the Friendica server, I can just Remote Desktop into the Mac and nuke the VM. Bye bye.

  • @BornDeranged Honestly, moving stuff to the cloud is trivial. Everything is in containers and I can just setup the nginx reverse proxy that’s also running on the VLAN to redirect to the cloud. Job done.
