I have a shared linux host account (and I occasionally help the admin with some installation stuff)
I currently host a few PHP sites on it like Dokuwiki, a few feedback forms, a mail image bug tester, piwik and a few others
Also I host a gemini server for my own site and a gemini chat server that I actually wrote myself in Java
a web2gemini gateway
a Misfin server (again wrote myself)
On a pubnix host I host a uptime kuma instance to check my main server
On a vps host I have an instance of Linkace that I wanted to try out but am not really using
I have one /media/music folder which I have connected to both Jellyfin and Gonic (Subsonic). I use Gonic because it’s lighter weight than Navidrome and I don’t care about a web interface.
FinAmp is the nicest iOS music client I’ve found, and it only works with Jellyfin. On the Mac I recently started using SuperSonic (which is simple but has been more reliable for me than sonixd) which uses Gonic.
play:Sub is the most polished iOS SubSonic client, but I find the UI fussy and hard to use one-handed. Amperfy, SubStreamer, and Soundwaves are all worth trying but each frustrating in their own way. I like Amperfy the best at the moment.
Not likely worth it. Primary reason is that the large federated email services are skeptical of email from services such as your proposed self hosting solution and may simply not deliver the mail you send. This is to mitigate against spammers setting up bespoke servers.
There are a bunch of other things that could go wrong if you don’t set everything up perfectly, but even if you do, this would be a big problem.
Better off using a custom domain with a big provider. Fewer headaches. I like Fastmail, but many others are great too.
My laptop is my oldest install, running Ubunutu. Started out on 14.04 and I’ve been updating ever since. My desktop runs Arch, although it used to be Antergos. I kinda convinced it to be Arch after Antergos died so I kept getting updates. Finally I’m currently trying Fedora on my secondary PC filled with old hardware from previous builds.
Honestly, out of these I personally like Fedora most currently. It seems to have up-to-date enough packages and seems quite stable. The AUR on Arch is a powerful thing, but it can also be quite hit or miss. While Ubuntu was fine as a first distro, I don’t really like how outdated all the packages are. I’ve had quite a few cases where packages where more than a year out of date.
I’m running it on an LXC container that lives on a proxmox cluster.
2 vCPU at 2.6Ghz. 2GB of RAM (it’s LXC so I can allocate more if needed…) and 40GB of SSD-backed CEPH storage. I actually just upped this to 150GB because I can see the velocity of data I’m storing for this. I have about 2 more TB of storage on the CEPH cluster before I need to order a few more SSDs.
I have terrible internet, but I do have a static address. And they’re installing fiber in my neighborhood right now. So that will change soon too.
Based on what I’ve seen thus-far, I suspect I can handle about a hundred users on this without much issue.
Galaxy Fold 4. Would have immediately recommended it but this past weekend the inside screen protector cracked down the middle. I need to contact Samsung and see how big of a hassle this is to get it replaced. I’ve only had the phone like 6 months, this really shouldn’t be this fragile
Subbed, I wouldn’t be surprise if Trent was floating around here somewhere with how deeply he seemed to be into the newer experimental internet shit back when…
Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I’ve been travelling for a few months and won’t be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
I added a mark as read button to the posts but now patiently waiting till the WebSockets -> REST API transition is complete so it can get merged.
The front end needs a lot of work… Every bit is appreciated and the maintainers are pretty fast at reviewing and providing feedback which is nice to see.
For me one of my favourites are my extractor fan control in my bathrooms. I have a switch on the fan and a humidity sensor close by. Turn on the shower and the extractor will turn on until the humidity is lowered enough, then switch off. In addition I have a static programmable button to press should you need it for other reasons. I just love the world of entities and how they link together to make something functional.
