I ran a server on a raspberry pi 3, paper was the only real option on that kind of hardware.

Thanks, I’ll start trying to set up pie fed as others suggested here, and see where that leads.

I wasn’t aware of piefed, looks like it federates with Lemmy just fine. Maybe I grab a generalist fediverse domain for my country and have sub domains for lemmy, piefed, mastodon, and see what resonates more in my country.

This is encouraging, I’ll probably go and do it. Thanks for the insight.

I want one for my country, and I want to validate that users are in fact people from my country. Once inside, they can do pretty much whatever they want. We aren’t going to be a lot of people at the start for sure. What would you recommend me?

seriously speaking, how much work is to host an instance actually? Besides buying the domain and getting it up and running on some cloud/homelab? The are any security concerns or maintenance that would take a lot of my time? Do I need to put some effort in instance level moderation, or that comes from communities? How many resources/hardware an instance uses per user?

Tailscale? Netbird? I have been using hamachi like a fucking neanderthal. I love this posts, I learn so much

Literally the only time I got somewhat hacked was when I left the default port of the service. Obscurity is reasonable, combined with other things like the ones mentioned here make you pretty much invulnerable to casuals. Somebody needs to target you to get anything.

This guy selfhosts

I’m feel so called out

The trick is securing a marriage before using Linux, if try the other way around it doesn’t work.

Ubuntu 2006 (I think), they mailed me a literal cd with it, how to resist to that.

It’s fedora instead of debian, but uses a very tuned version of gnome. I personally didn’t like a few things, I’m a debian man, I love the simplicity and stability. The older I get, the more I appreciate spartan things.

I did something similar, but then I turned my pizero in a portable retro console lol.

• Pihole (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)
• Jellyfin

Everything else is a nice to have, not essential

The arr family with a torrent client is great for feeding Jellyfin. If you are a developer, you can host your own shit there too. Game servers for playing with family and friends (so far Minecraft, Terraria, Project Zomboid, V Rising). I like to host a bunch of different telegram bots I wrote for fun. Discord bots are another interesting side. I also run some automation runners for helping out with testing, building and deploying my projects.

Focus on your needs and what you want to improve of your online life, there is probably a project you can self host for it.

I want a mix of the two, satire and real life, and you can’t tell them apart. Basically merging TheOnion and NotTheOnion.

This is not obscure, it’s fucking David Bowie there

Spanish: Debian que no se puede ser tan grande

English: Debian you want to do it again
