What is the easiest way for me to self host a cloud drive that my phone and laptop can both connect to? But that is also secure?

I do not work in the tech industry and may lack the skills to do this but I thought I’d ask.

k i installed tailscale on my router and got my #proxmox and containers all up again, and the secondary router set up in AP mode.

i have:
freshrss (which i love), searxng, and grocy and wger (both which i have yet to play with)

WHAT ELSE? i feel unstoppable (as long as there’s a proxmox ve lxc helper script, because i’m still learning) #selfhosting #selfhosted

This is your casual reminder to #selfhost At least that what you are comfortable with

#selfhosting is about being independent. About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is #enshittifying like there is no tomorrow.

Go #selfhosted the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.

It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. Be a rebel.

Hey #SelfHosted / #SelfHosting folks, does anyone know of a self-hosted pinterest-like system?

I want to create both publicly shareable and private moodboards (basically just groups of content) of anything from images to links to text etc.

Did a little writeup of my clustered PostgreSQL instances in my homelab https://arch.dog/bark/clustered-postgresql

Accessible outside my house! #SelfHosting

I think I've fallen in love with Tailscale. What an amazing tool. The possibilities are endless! I am so excited now to get my little RPi4B up and running. The video tutorials are really clear and well presented.

Is it just me or are SSDs really expensive nowadays?

Looking to purchase 1-2 new 2.5" SSDs to expand the Fediverse.Games storage pool, and where it was previously $300-$350 (AUD) for a decent quality SSD, its now closer to at least $400.

Parallel to that, any tips for picking up decent (non-QLC, ideally including DRAM) 2.5" SSDs for a decent price?

Prefer 4TB models, but would do 1.92 or 2TB in need.

I'm in Australia but happy to buy genuine models from overseas. Also happy to purchase used as long as there's a decent amount of life left in them.

Also taking hardware donations (I ain't too proud to beg )

Please boost widely, and if there's any useful hashtags for this post please let me know.

The newest apps available on Pikapods.

#AskFedi do you know anyone with a federated Wordpress site who uses it extensively? Not just for publishing straight to the Fediverse, but also in a social way (aka as a fedi profile)?

I've run into a few roadblocks with mine and I could really use some inspiration ​

I just received my @jetkvm ! I’m 6 years old and it’s Christmas!

Ich nutze Linux nun seit über zehn Jahren und möchte an dieser Stelle meine Begeisterung darüber teilen, die bis heute ungebrochen ist. Um in der heutigen Zeit, in der eine respektvolle und sachliche Ausdrucksweise immer wichtiger wird, nicht missverstanden zu werden, möchte ich einige Vorteile hervorheben, die mich dazu bewegen, Linux treu zu bleiben. An erster Stelle steht für mich der Datenschutz: Linux bietet eine transparente und offene Plattform ohne versteckte Hintertüren oder Programme, die heimlich Daten an externe Server senden. Das gibt mir ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit und Kontrolle über meine persönlichen Informationen. Darüber hinaus bringt Linux alles mit, was ich für meine individuellen technischen Bedürfnisse benötige. Die Vielfalt an Software, die Flexibilität bei der Anpassung und die Stabilität des Systems ermöglichen es mir, produktiv und effizient zu arbeiten – sei es im privaten oder beruflichen Umfeld. Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist die Community und der offene Entwicklungsprozess. Linux lebt von einer engagierten Gemeinschaft, die ständig an Verbesserungen arbeitet und bei Problemen schnell Unterstützung bietet. Das schafft ein Gefühl von Zusammenhalt und Innovation, das ich sehr schätze. Nicht zuletzt überzeugt mich auch die Unabhängigkeit von großen Konzernen. Mit Linux bin ich nicht an proprietäre Systeme gebunden, sondern kann frei entscheiden, welche Programme ich nutze und wie ich mein System gestalte. All diese Aspekte zusammen machen für mich Linux zu einer nachhaltigen und zukunftssicheren Wahl, die ich auch in den kommenden Jahren nicht missen möchte.

DANKE an alle die das möglich machen!

Ooof. Okay with that debacle out of the way, calamity.world is now running Mastodon 4.4.1!

I also upgraded Postgres to v17, Redis to v7, and ElasticSearch to v8 while I was at it.

Of course I messed up the process at every opportunity... I borked the migrate process by killing a task prematurely, hamstrung completion by running a full ElasticSearch reindex, got sidetracked and wrote some shell scripts, killed and restarted the wrong things...

But we got there.

Has anyone had problems with running mastodon on FreeBSD in the past, especially with updating it?
Whenever I try to run “RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile” there is a node process at about 400% indefinitely. Does anyone know a solution to that?
To install it I followed @stefano's guide (https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/)

Something is very off, and I don't even know where to look. I've built a custom PC as a #homelab server, booted it, and everything worked from the start. This scares me. #SelfHosting #CustomBuild
