There’s a lesson to be learned here: don’t push a massive update close to the holidays because, ya know, you might break federation and go on vacation for a week.
I mean, no one has forced any admins to deploy a new version. But yeah, this is an annoying one.
So to be clear, you want traffic coming out of your VPS to have a source address that is your home IP?
No that’s not how I read it at all. He wants his VPS to act as a NAT router for email that routes traffic through a wireguard tunnel to the mail server on his home network. His mail server would act as if it was port forwarded using his home router, only it won’t be his home IP, it’ll be the VPS’s
Wish this kind of joined up thinking happened in places other than the Nordics.
Data centres and industry exist and dump heat all over the world. Putting it to use is a no brainer.
Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.
This is a pretty clever solution. Most thieves won’t follow a cable that for all intents looks like a network cable, especially if it disappears into a wall plate or something.
I got lucky. Back when that privacy scare with Whatsapp made mainstream news my Aunt asked in the extended family chat what alternatives there were. I responded that I use SIgnal with my friends (all 2 of them on Signal at the time) and just like that everybody switched. 2 hours later my entire paternal family are on Signal, and still are.
If you’ve got a good network path NFS mounts work great. Don’t forget to also back up your compose files. Then bringing a machine back up is just a case of running them.
What Usenet provider/s did you end up using?
US tech wages are just nuts. In the UK I’m basically maxed out for a non-London based software dev at about £70k (~$87k). Meanwhile I have a friend who has managed to land a job with a London based US tech firm on about £120k (~$150k) which is massive for here but reading this is still a long way off what is possible.
It seems the majority of the torrents with poor seeder count are in the 1.5TB+ range. I just simply don’t have the storage for that. Most everything in the 0-300GB range is pretty well covered.
Reads nice but your docs are 404’ing so I can’t investigate much :D
EDIT. Found it. You’ve got a ‘.com’ instead of a ‘.io’.
Mastodon doesn’t just use storage for local image uploads. It pulls, thumbnails and saves images from any incoming posts, including the thumbnails you might see on website links (pulled from the opengraph data most websites implement)
It’s possible to set a pretty short timeout for that data though.
Oh yes. But I felt the attribution helped bridge the Canadian gap.
That’s what I was after but I guess the “translator” did me dirty. It’s a direct replacement for “fuss”
😉 It’s meme’s all the way down.
I looked into Proxmox briefly but then figured that since 99% of my workload was going to be docker containers and I’d need just a single VM for them it made no sense to run it.
So that’s what I did. Ubuntu + Portainer and a shed load of stacks.
Mmm. The issue in this case is that it appears it’s only beehaw communities that do it. Everything else is working fine.
I’ve unsubbed/subbed quite a few times now. No change :(
I’m dabbling in Bluesky atm. Having run my own Masto server for over a year at this point. Here’s things I’ve found that Bluesky does just plain better - mostly cause it’s not beholden to the whims of the ActivityPub protocol.
The first two are huge on a small/single user server. By default we get nothing, following a single account will get us the content of just that account and the replies that they happen to reply to. A post may get 200 replies, but unless I go looking on the original server I will see a fraction of that. Technical solutions exist to help with this but the Fediverse’s penchant for privacy and control (quite rightly) limits the effectiveness (Fedifetcher, GetMoarFedi).
3 is something most people won’t think about. But if they become aware they’re not seeing something they thought they’d be able to they then have to deep dive into who’s defederating who and why.
Most all the other points just make the whole thing a much more seamless experience for your average user. Bootstrapping a list of people to follow on a small server is hard (I’d absolutely recommend creating a Fediverse account somewhere large first to build up some sort of list before migrating)
