Wow, yet another "open source" project where you can spend countless hours breaking your server! Because everyone knows, self-hosting is the best way to guarantee a never-ending stream of bugs and headaches. Thanks, #GitHub, for yet another opportunity to feel like a coding wizard while actually just pretending!

Huginn is a free, open-source IFTTT alternative that’s much more powerful

“Automation tools like IFTTT (If This Then That) have revolutionized how we connect apps, devices, and services to create workflows. However, while IFTTT is user-friendly and widely accessible, it lacks the depth, flexibility, and control some advan ...continues

So, I very much enjoyed experimenting with @gotosocial ; markdown support in particular was a *huge* upgrade from Mastodon. Unfortunately, I stopped the experiment as it filled up my hard drive with 17GB of stuff, and although I'm sure this is my fault, I figured I probably shouldn't run it on a machine that also hosts services that I and others rely on. Also, like any small fedi server, discoverability was a big problem. I'm going to miss it. #fediverse #mastodon #goToSocial #selfHosting

Ich habe mal testweise Immich installiert. Das sieht echt gut aus und erinnert wirklich sehr an Google Photos. Immich ist zwar noch in einer Beta-Phase, aber dafür läuft es schon sehr gut.

Von den fast 18.000 Fotos und Videos sind nun schon gut 10.000 hochgeladen und die CPU hat gut zu tun, denn das muss alles erst verarbeitet werden.

Wer es ausprobieren möchte, findet auf der Immich-Webseite den Link zum testen. Die passende App für's Handy gibt es auch dazu.

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 106 (email edition) ​

Good morning Fedi friends!

I'm DELIGHTED to report that my self-hosted Ghost blog is fully functional and it withstood the "Mastodon stampede" (so far, knock on wood).

TWO challenges remain:

1) fixing mail DNS records (TXT & DMARC) so that people who sign up for my newsletter won't get a warning that the email "failed the domain's authentication requirements" - thank you for the heads-up @KitsuneVixi!

For some strange reason the warning appears for email signups but not newsletter sends. So I will investigate this morning and add some code to the Ghost config file too (in addition to triple-checking DNS records). Thank you @mdileo @shom @luca for the brilliant tips and guidance ​

2) The announcement I shared yesterday on my Mastodon account (5000+ followers) with the link to my new Ghost blog didn't overwhelm the VPS. But! The toot didn't contain a link with a preview card that had to be fetched by hundreds of servers. So, the real test will be publishing a new blog post and seeing how it holds up when it's shared on Mastodon. My heartbeat accelerates just thinking about it ​

Advocating for FOSS also means contributing to projects with feedback, etc. (as someone eloquently said to me here a few months ago - sorry if I can't credit you, it's been a while). Anyway, all this to say that I will write to Ghost devs today (and John) to tell them about the buggy code that's on their Configurations page. And to suggest a tweak that may help other self-hosted sites withstand sudden traffic from Mastodon. It worked for me, so I feel like it's important to spread the word, since many people have been struggling with the same issue.

Anyway, a HUGE thanks once again to @ticho @jana @leberschnitzel @jpoesen @scammo @moonshinebrigade @mkj @aarRJaay who helped me debug the code yesterday. Infinitely grateful to you for all your advice and help! I was THIS CLOSE to giving up... and now I'm thrilled to be self-hosting my Ghost blog.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

UPDATE: I just tweaked the config.production.json file in Terminal adding Mailgun SMTP credentials... and now I don't get the warning anymore WOOHOO!

And don't worry, I'm not getting too cocky with this. I kept typing "restart ghost" in Terminal and couldn't figure out why I would get an error... so I kept checking the JSON code... till I realized that the right command was "ghost restart"

In #Immich das Clip Modell von ViT-B32__openai (Standard) auf ViT-B-32-SigLIP2-256__webli umgestellt.

Welch eine Verbesserung in der semantischen Suche bei nur minimal mehr Ressourcen-Verbrauch. Läuft prima auf der #Synology.

I just did a quick comparison of how search results looks on Google, DuckDuckGo, and self-hosted SearXNG

First Google: three screenshots and few actual search results

Aus dem Tätigkeitsbericht des #datenschutzbeauftragten #Bremen zu einem Unternehmen, das Bewerbung per #WhatsApp anbietet:

' [...] dass ein vertraglich gebundener Auftragsverarbeiter aus
Deutschland genutzt werde, sodass die verarbeiteten Daten ausschließlich auf zertifizierten
und verschlüsselten Servern in Deutschland gehostet würden und kein Zugriff durch
#WhatsApp (Meta Plattforms Incorporated) auf konkrete Nachrichteninhalte möglich sei.'

What? Es gibt #selfhosting für WA?

If you've been searching for a competent #Discord alternative, may I suggest 199X.chat?

It's a small community, far away from the hustle and bustle of big tech. You can even create your own server & invite others to join just like Discord.

It's a self-hosted Revolt instance that's totally separate from revolt.chat. Each server can have up to 500 custom emojis.
