  • If it's a personal server for yourself and maybe some friends and family, I would rather use GoToSocial, as it is much more lightweight and is less complex to set up and maintain.

  • Nice, support for Android apps is just casually mention almost as a side note 😎

  • Proxmox does VMs and containers (LXC). You can run any docker / podman manager you want in a container.

    Benefits of having Proxmox as the base is ZFS / snapshoting and easy setup of multiple boot drives, which is really nice when one drive inevitably fails 😏

  • Yeah, I would use a bot like this on Telegram. Could hook it up to a tiny LLM (The Phi for example) and give it instructions to play along and then block after some time.

  • This looks great! Solid Pods is Tim Berners-Lee's attempt at solving selfhosting and decentralization, but it has struggled to gain traction. Connecting it to the fediverse is a very good move.

  • No, but they can poison it. Luckily, it is possible to block their servers.

  • There are still edge cases, but things have improved rapidly the last year or two, to the point that most docker-compose.yaml files can be run unmodified with podman-compose.

    I have however moved away from compose in favor of running containers and pods as systemd services, which I really like. If you want to try it, make sure your distro has a reasonably new version of Podman, at least v4.4 ot newer. Debian stable has an older version, so I had to use the testing repos to get quadlets working.

  • Yes! Well, kinda. You can skip Docker and go straight to Podman, which is an open source and more integrated solution. I configure my containers as systemd services (as quadlets).

  • I see mentions of Jekyll, but is this a solution that can be integrated with any static site generator somehow? I use Hugo and would love to have a tighther integration with the social web.

  • Symfonium looks cool, especially the support for DNLA, but it is not open source and not available on F-droid.

  • Castopod is great for hosting a podcast :)

  • In that case, I can recommend minicomputer's like HP EliteDesk G2 800 Mini. You can get them with a variety of intel CPUs, they can take up to 32GB RAM, they have slot for M.2 disks and a regular 2.5" SSD – and they hardly use any power when idle, between 5 to 10 watts, depending on the CPU and CPU governor settings. They are sold used for ~€50 and if you buy newer generations you'll get even more umpfh for a bit more cash.

    In other words, very competetive with the Pi's, only more available, cheaper and about the same power consumption!

  • Fedora updates flatpaks automatically, system updates too, but you need to reboot. Which Fedora version do you use?
