@ruud@lemmy.world cover

Admin of a lot of fediverse servers, among which the .world ones:

  • lemmy.world
  • mastodon.world
  • calckey.world

You can find me on these servers as @ruud

I receive a lot of messages, direct and mentions. I can’t reply to them all. If you have an issue, please e-mail at [email protected]

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

I do host some stuff myself 😉 but there’s one thing to keep in mind.

Don’t self host stuff that your family still needs after you’re gone. Unless they are self host nerds like you. I stopped self hosting our mail and docs for example.

Would you agree?

Hosting a writefreely.org instance (k.fe.derate.me)

Looking through the writefreely.org instances on their website, a lot of the links are dead or closed for registration. The one that is open and working is promoting a paid version. Is hosting a writefreely instance heavy on resources, attracting the wrong people or just not "cool" enough?

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D

I like Vivaldi, which is Chromium based. I also like Safari for the speed. Difficult to choose between the two. The feature that Vivaldi has and Safari hasn’t, which I’m missing in Safari, is tab auto-refresh.

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah somewhere between twitter and facebook clone, more like Mastodon. But open-source and federated, like Lemmy.

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

For moderators surely Mastodon. For admins too… For users: that’s a taste-thing. I’m not a developer so can’t say…

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ahh yes I meant as opposed to Twitter and Facebook. But I worded it badly 😁

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Depends on what sort of invoices. For my invoices for billable hours, I use Kimai

Too bad fire.fish is also gone…

Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn’t gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.

@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I hadn’t either until a few years ago. It’s something worth considering.

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll check the new way Lemmy detects dead servers, it’s possible an outage caused lemmy.ml to think we’re dead (we’re not!) :-)

Ohh sorry to hear that. RIP

Ooh… Silverbullet looks really useful!! Just installed, need to figure out what I can do, looks like a lot of functionality!

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

No, we did some rate limiting to try and fight off some attacks, but now some are too strict. We’ll tune these so they won’t bother you anymore.

I’m still running Synapse. Could I migrate this to Dendrite or others? Or would I have to just re-install and lose all messages…

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Oh too bad. I run it at h-y-p-e-r.space, so I’ll just continue to use Synapse for now. Don’t want to add a subdomain

@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Follow people.

And if you would like to boost it, join a relay. But check which relay, make sure it’s content you want. And prepare for increased server load and media storage!

Fediverse equivalent use of TikTok/Instagram/Twitter for short video sharing..need tips on use/platforms/formats

I’ve been loving Lemmy and mastodon and feel they are coming along as good replacements for Reddit and Twitter. Outside the fediverse, I occasionally enjoy posting dumb little video shorts and I put them on TikTok, Facebook and Insta because I have friends, family and followers on each. (TikTok, Gen-Z, my daughter…Facebook,...

How does domain names work?

Who determines who owns a domain name? International organization? Do unrecognized countries also get their own top-level domain? If someone or some organization wanted to register a website for highly illegal activities (terrorism, crime organizations, etc) who has the authority to shut them down? Does one government has the...

Backup / restore gets complicated if you have multiple apps in 1 dB

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, terminology… I mean single instance. And although you can create pg_dumps of separate databases, a true (online) backup of separate databases is difficult. Tools like pgbackrest or barman don’t support it. (I mainly focus on Postgres)

I was a bit confused by the typo in your post title :-) But yeah this would be cool!

About Instagram's "Threads" and people's concerns about privacy

I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he...

Cool! I feel a forgejo.world coming!

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar
  • Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. If you have advanced needs, Forgejo has you covered.

Selfhosters wanna host. But many people don’t. (Ergo: lemmy.world, mastodon.world (GitHub anyone?) so maybe people would like forgejo.world And if not, I’ll use it myself! :-)

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I don’t need to be the flagship for everything ;-)

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it’s one of the domains I would love to have but GoDaddy has registered a bunch of them, trying to resell for big $$ which I refuse to do.

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I do now!

ruud ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I got an example from someone and did a lot of copy/paste. I can read it, and then guess/google if I need something.
