@[email protected] I suspect it is to whitewash the fact that they are walled gardens

"look! we are activitypub-interoperable. it is not our fault everybody wants to use our service instead of mastodon!"

@[email protected] apparently I can do it from my own instance, without registration!!! 😃

@[email protected] this is so awesome, no need for registration!

@[email protected] Honestly it depends a lot on your use case. I have 1x RAM swap and usually only half is used

@[email protected] dyndns worked fine. Duckdns is a preferred among self hosters. Also your domain name provider might also offer dynamic dns sometimes

@[email protected] I take it back 😢

@[email protected] If it helps you, I started with https://mailinabox.email, which is incredibly easy to set up.

Right now I'm using https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver which I feel it is a bit trickier, but more escapable in the long term

@[email protected] I do, it is a pain and I understand why it is not worth for some people.

@[email protected] like teenagers, all solar systems think other solar systems are cooler than them and know what they’re doing

@[email protected] I suspect you can force restic not to encrypt. The other additional advantage of restic and similars is that you can specify s3, sftp and other targets.

@[email protected] it is but:

- You have a bunch of predefined setups for common services
- Auto renewal of certificates by default
- It is NGINX in the back, unlike NPM that uses a custom SQLite schema for some stuff
- There are some nice plugins/extension for analyzing logs

@[email protected] I'm using SWAG on my VPS and I'm seriously thinking of using it for my home server as well (using NPM for now)

@[email protected] Nope, they are animals so technically they are not vegan

@[email protected] thank you this is super insightful

@[email protected] I wrote my own music player, after that I installed PiHole. After that I realized there were much better music players out there :-P

@[email protected] In general I think old, small computer laptops are going to be a better long-term solution for self-hosting than a raspberry pi.

Sure, it is hard to compete in terms of size, but you will soon find yourself looking for bigger specs anyways

@[email protected] I loved rain loop until I learned they had a vulnerability where a malicious email could compromise the system. IDK if they have fixed it but it was my favorite webmail by far. Nowadays I'm using desktop clients sadly.
