Signal as a centralized meta-data honeypot.

It does solve my problem in the sense that right now I need to configure each subdomain individually both in the OVH web-ui and then a second time on my firewall for the dyndns update. With a few dozen subdomains that is both annoying and easy to mess up accidentally.

If I can manage everything from env parameters in a single location that saves me a lot of hassle.

Cool. I am currently using the OVH dyndns option and it is a bit annoying that you have to update each sub-domain individually and can’t just tell OVH to update all subdomains to the same new IP via a wildcard.

Is that something your script could do?

Also it seems like the OVH dyndns API currently only does either IPv4 or IPv6 but not both the same time.

Edit: Ah I see you plan to allow creating sub-domains through it. I guess that would indirectly solve my issue as well.

An the Syncserver still runs on Python2 with multiple known vulnerabilities.

There is a new Syncserver written in Rust, but it seems in continous half finished state or so.

Some WebDAV server, can be Nextcloud but actually something more lightweight is better.

Also a XMPP server is very nice to have. Even if you don’t have many contacts on it (yet), it works very well has a notification service and can even be extended to act as a Unified Push distributor.

Unless they have an active IT department that is already hosting various websites for them, it is probably better to show them some hosted offer like this: https://masto.host/

As for your questions:

1. Medium difficulty as far as self-hosting goes. Mastodon is a Ruby on Rails app.
2. Really depends on the number of users etc.
3. See no. 2. a few hundred $ or so.
4. As others have mentioned, let them make an account on an existing server first, it can be migrated to your own server later.

Not really what you are asking for, but I found the combination of KaraDAV and Filestash to be a great alternative to Nextcloud, and much more stable for basic use.

As for Owncloud… I am skeptical of the company behind them ever since they split off into them and Nextcloud. Probably better to avoid, regardless of what you think of Nextcloud.

If you need it you will find it, and if you don’t, maybe it is unncessary clutter in your life that would be better to get rid off in a yard sale asap?

Which runs this open-source software: https://writefreely.org/

Federates via ActivityPub.

I didn’t claim that it wasn’t open-source. And a 3rd party bridge doesn’t make it compatible with ActivityPub.

Misskey and Mastodon are two different types of open-source software for running a social media microblogging website that can interact with each other through the ActivityPub standard.

Bluesky is a similar but incompatible software run by a single company that was founded by ex-Twitter employees and is funded by billionaires and cryptocurrency scammers.

Many people have not used XMPP in years or never and go by hearsay of outdated information.

Matrix on the other hand had several million Euros of venture-capital to fund a marketing campaign.

I met the main developer at the CCC congress two days ago, and we talked about it a bit. The problem is that he is only a backend developer, and the front ends for Friendica are a really old and messy codebase.

I think the best option for Friendica would be to fork one of the available alternative front ends for Mastodon and adapt it for the additional functionality of Friendica. But they need a frontend dev to help out with that.

At least one of the developers is based in Germany and the government’s preferential treatment of Ukrainian refugees compared to those from other countries is actually an issue there.

You can, but if you don’t control the main router and can’t do any port forwarding, it will be hard to make it accessible from outside your LAN.

The fix was incomplete by the looks of it.

Even before that Taiwan did not belong to the rest of China.

There were some settlers from the main land, but the indigenous population always controlled most of the island and the Chinese settlers were careful not to antagonize them.

This lasted for hundreds of years, pretty much until a brief period at the end of the 19th century when the Chinese government decided to send troops to brutally subjugate the indigenous population, only to shortly after lose control of Taiwan to the Japanese.
