Yo #homelab hommies wife came at me saying she wants to pay 90 bucks a year for one of those AI meeting apps. She says it helps her work flow and can get helpful summaries blah blah blah.. I ain't about to pay 90 bucks a year.. Any of you guys have something similar out there that we can self host?

Anche questo intervento di Laura Hargreaves potrebbe essere un utile contributo alla discussione sul rilancio di un'altra internet: “Back to the Old Internet: A Personal Reboot”
Switching to Linux. Self-hosting. Fossifying my phone.
I thought the old internet was gone — turns out, it just needed a reboot.

Yeah baby, tengo server para rato.
Grüße und Dank gehen raus an @NikTheDusky für https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn23-153-tschss-spotify-und-co-self-hosted-musik-streaming-vol-2
Ich habs heute nachgebaut, meine alte 140gb gerippte Musiksammlung (mp3 und ogg) per NFS verfüttert und bin gerade ein kleines bisschen begeistert.

Personally I do value @nextcloud because it enables #FreedomOfChoice:
- There's a huge amount of #ManagedHosting provisers and also one can actually do
- #SelfHosting.
Whereas with #Microsoft365 one can either pay #Microsoft directly or some value-removing #Reseller which (if at all) will nickel & dime folks for basics such as #Backups.
Leute... ich kack sooo ab. Seit 7 Stunden versuche ich vom Nginx Proxy Manager #NPM (dem Web UI) zum normalen #Nginx zu wechseln, da ich für einige Dinge mehr Einstellungsfreiheiten haben möchte.
Seit 7 Stunden...
Erst gabs riesen Probleme mit den Permissions und den SSL Zertifikaten, dann hat Nginx angefangen rumzuspinnen und Subdomains falsche SSL Zertifikate zugwiesen - weiß Gott warum.
Und als Krönung habe ich es nicht mehr geschafft Mastodon live zu bringen. Ich bin wieder da... und meine Nerven sind blank.
Manchmal frage ich mich eigentlich warum ich mir das antue. Einerseits gibt mir das unfassbare Glücksgefühle, wenn endlich etwas läuft und andererseits zieht mich das so runter, wenn es mal nicht läuft.

#Mastoadmin is there a good way to find which remote accounts/domains take a ton of space with media attachments? our server's remote media cache is ballooning by 30GB *a day* and that definitely sounds wrong.
the info exists somewhere because you can see it in the admin console, but neither the admin console nor #tootctl seem to have a way to sort by attachments total size (unless i'm missing something). any advice?
Perfect on-prem #selfhosting project for a rainy Friday night in winter: taking Ubuntu Server for a spin on a Dell r610 intercepted as e-waste en route to the graveyard. Diagnostics showed the only thing 'wrong' with it is a dead CMOS battery. For fun I installed the OS onto a fast USB stick while I find some SAS drives in RAID to throw at the project.
More of a vanilla Debian person myself, but great to see how far #Ubuntu Server has come, and that it still looks after legacy kit like this.
How to Host Your Own #Mastodon Server on a #VPS (5 Minute Quick-Start Guide)
This article provides a guide for how to host your own Mastodon server on a VPS.
Running your own Mastodon server on a VPS is an excellent way to enjoy an efficient and secure Mastodon experience.
What is Mastodon?
Mastodon is a #decentralized social media platform that enables users to post ...

Good morning Fedi friends!
A new learning adventure begins 
GitHubGitHub - hkclark/Pocket2Linkding: Simple tool to migrate from Mozilla Pocket to LinkdingSimple tool to migrate from Mozilla Pocket to Linkding - hkclark/Pocket2Linkding
#Linux and #BSD make computers and networks fun again. The two operating systems open up that long-dormant passion to learn and curiosity to ask how about things work. Then they beckon you to implement and experiment. This was also back when the #internet was fun. But #hottake the internet is becoming fun again as people are now #selfhosting blogs, websites, #mastodon, #peertube. The world is slowly pushing back against the corporate internet

Homelab Backup Evolution!
Following the "3-2-1 is the minimum" rule, I've expanded my VPS container backup strategy:
Hetzner Cloud (Borg) → Offsite long-term storage Synology NAS (rsync) → Local fast recovery
The new setup does nightly automated syncs of all /opt/containers/ data to my Synology - with deduplication and all the bells and whistles! 
Particularly clever: hardlinks for space-efficient snapshots and morning email reports. Now I know right with my coffee 
whether all backups ran cleanly.
Lesson learned: Cloud-only is good, but having a local NAS mirror for quick restores is pure gold! 
How do you solve this in your setups? Also multi-tier or everything to cloud?

Finally, if you really need a full code forge, with issue tracking and everything, what is the simplest, most light-weight code forge you can self-host?
Is it Forgejo? "Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo
That sounds great to me, but is Forgejo simple enough that I won't regret taking on the maintenance burden? Is there something even faster?

Tomorrow I’m taking my wife on a surprise trip somewhere she’s never been before. #London!
I’ll be sharing pictures of our trip there. Wondering how I’ll share some “stories” as well. In general I’d do Instagram, but I’d like to get rid of it. There’s also Telegram, which I like. Any suggestions of a #fediverse alternative?

Continued thread
To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?
* https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug
* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue
Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

Next, have you tried a static site generator for browsing git repos? Here's a list of SSGs for git, sorted by latest commit (fresh to stale):
* reporat https://www.ratfactor.com/repos/reporat/
* git-arr https://blitiri.com.ar/p/git-arr/
* depp https://git.8pit.net/depp/

* gituwa https://git.mcksp.com/gituwa/
* repo2html https://git.m455.casa/repo2html/

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!
First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?
