For me my self hosted version stopped working. From what the GitHub issues are saying, Google is starting to block instances if they get flagged.

Love day9

There’s portable UPS that are cheaper, but as I understand it, with this hat, you can replace the batteries yourself. So that’s a huge plus.

That’s neat. What are the benefits on using the hat vs using a traditional UPS?

It sucks…and seems to be catching on. Ive seen a quite a few on GitHub that are now referencing using it instead of the issue tracker.

Same with me. I played around with the setup a few times on my local machines. It took quite a bit to get it set up, then I saw an error after a couple of days and gave up. Its easier to just pull down the file and run it locally than use collabora.

More recently its go to discord for the env…no joke.

Nice. I’m all about new providers

Welp I’m an anonymous person on the Internet so you can believe what you want. I could say that my job is literally mass deploying servers (devops) but if you don’t believe me that I said that I read it then I’m not sure what we can agree on.

Let’s just stop while we are both ahead. It’s a Thursday, good day for coffee yeah? Hope you have a good day.

How is Hetzner?

Just about but it’s more experimental.

It appears after the controversy they removed the parts https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/03/after-overreaching-tos-angers-users-cloud-provider-vultr-backs-off/

But when I read the tos, it was pretty clear it was not limited.

You also had to agree without an opt out which was scammy. There are better providers out there.

Nope. It’s the content.

I had customer data as well as some personal stuff on a couple of servers. It was low hanging fruit so I just started self hosting. It’s silly how much rights they suddenly wanted. Not worth the hassle, they just provide basic boxes to begin with.

They also would not let you login without accepting those new rights now were you able to opt out. So I just threw my infa on some local systems, deleted everything and then had to say yes to their TOS. Again silly and great way to lose business.

And you could not opt out. You had to click agree in order to login. That’s the biggest one.

It was later removed after the fact but there were other changes that sucked.

I just moved everything from vultr to self host because of their latest changes.

I like that I don’t have to fiddle with it so much. I’ve maintained AWS for my day job, I just want something that does everything. I’m tired when I get home.

I use it all the time. Works pretty good.

Funkwhale is pretty cool.

If it was the pi 4, I would agree, but the Pi 5 would probably handle less than 20 people. I have a 4 that uses Yunohost that covers a LOT of services. I played around with matrix but it required too much out of the system. But that’s with a lot of other services running. Give it a shot and let the rest of us know.

BTW I had a lemmy/irc/bookwyrm/mastodon all running on the pi4 without any real issues. Mastodon is probably the beefiest/slowest app, and its been getting better as time goes on. So a PI can definitely work with fediverse apps.
