Not sure how you get from Fediverse people researching what server admin/moderation structures work well and which ones don’t to CIA censorship.

I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.

It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.

I’m using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.

KDE Plasma handles the touch screen fine on my PineTab2.

It works in LxQt too, but only in portrait mode (which is the default for this device). I keep meaning to look up how to tell it to rotate the touch coordinates along with the display, and I keep not getting around to it.

But the main issue I’ve run into is that most GUI apps for Linux are…let’s just say they’re not designed with touch input in mind.

As others have said: followers yes, posts, no. Some other Fediverse platforms can migrate posts, though, and I believe Firefish (previously known as Calckey) is able to import posts from Mastodon as well as from other instances of itself.

At least until the NUCs run out, now that Intel’s discontinuing them

I tried setting up both for a local music server last year, and found Plex’s cloud requirements and constant upselling were more of a pain than it was worth. Jellyfin was the one I kept.

I think the tutorial posts are a great idea! Looking forward to the first one.

Reminder to self: buy physical copies of the shows I want to watch again.

It’s insidious…

Totally agree with the bit in your spoiler tag. After a few episodes of escalating DOOMSDAY PLOT, it started to feel like Trek again.

I like Alpine Linux for my VPS servers, but that’s because it’s very lightweight, not because of ease of use.

For user friendliness I’ve heard really good things about Yunohost, which runs on Debian and lets you manage a lot of different software, Nextcloud included

Makes sense.

I’d also think that establishing relations, by itself, wouldn’t be considered a violation in this case. By that time the Horta already knew about the Federation presence and there was no way to isolate that knowledge. So the hearing would mainly focus on the initial contact (digging into Horta territory, destroying the eggs) as a possible violation, with a side question of whether the negotiations afterward were carried out in accordance with it. (Probably yes)

So that leaves the miners’ initial incursion and determining whether it was resolved sufficiently (in this case, probably deferring to the Horta).

I just commented on this in another thread: https://lemmy.world/comment/76011

TL;DR: The server-to-client interactions on Lemmy are a lot heavier than the server-to-server interactions, so even if you’re just using your own server to interact with communities on other servers, it should still take load off of the servers you would have been using directly.

On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I’d like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.

VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.

I’ve also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon’s too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.

Eventually I’d like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.
