Mattermost deciding to go full corporate removes yet another option for #selfhost chat.
I’m so tired.

#MinIO is a popular S3 compatible object store. It is a necessary component in many self hosted applications. the docker image has over a billion downloads
in July MinIO removed the admin interface from the community edition, forcing users to the CLI or paid upgrades

5 days ago MinIO released a security update to fix a high severity 8.1/10 CVE

this is user hostile behaviour. i wish them the same fate as Redis
Smarte Matratze nicht schlau: Unbrauchbar ohne AWS
Verbogen und zu heiß: Sündteure Matratzen haben keinen Offline-Modus. Gehen Amazon Web Services offline, können Matratzenbesitzer nicht mehr schlafen.
@heiseonline hätte uns nur jemand gewarnt!
Mit #selfhost wäre das nicht passiert. ☝🏼

When you #SelfHost, you will never have any problems with #AWS being down.
All you have to do is:
- Ensure you have a decent power supply
- Have your own servers
- Be able to troubleshoot networking issues at 3AM because your electronic lock won't release and your child can't get in the house
- Have at least three terminals monitoring your systems open at all times
- Have a procedure to backup and recover everything in case you have a fatal disk failure
- Be able to not shoot into panic mode when the database is not responsive
- Have enough money to pay the electricity bill
- And the hardware too, by the way
- Know systemd
- Know Python
- You'll have to learn some TerraForm or something too, because you can't keep managing these servers one-by-one
- Have security in place for system access
- Have security in place for physical access
- Make sure your hobby-sysadminning doesn't get out of hand

It's pretty easy, when you think about it

It's International Smug Self-Hosters Day! Best wishes to all who celebrate.

I have finally completed my migration of all of my picture posts to my GoToSocial instance. The first post goes all the way back to 2012 when I created an Instagram account which I migrated to Pixelfed years later. But frustrated with some aspects of Pixelfed at the time I bounced around servers and platforms till I finally bit the bullet and created a personal instance. Unfortunately, there were many hurdles to combining my multiple accounts into one place until I found the right combination of tools: GoToSocial, Posty, and slurp.
After multiple successful archive imports, garbage collection for the imported posts I didn’t wish to save, and a few outstanding account closures; I was down to a few hundred Pixelfed posts that wouldn’t import via that tool chain because of the existing at-mentions and slurp’s strict handling of these to prevent spam. I finally took the time to work through the pixelfed-statuses.json with a little regex to invalidate the existing at-mentions searching on (?<!\/)@ and replacing with ඞ. It looks a little awkward, but this helped maintain the context of the old Instagram mentions with @cbhaugen becoming ඞcbhaugen. I tried a number of other replacements, but found that this one worked consistently and still looked like the at-sign. Unfortunately, I didn’t discover the ＠ (Full-width Commercial At / U+FF20) and ﹫ (Small Commercial At / U+FE6B) til after completing the import. So if you’re in a similar predicament you may try those instead of ඞ (Sinhala Letter Kantaja Naasikyaya / U+0D9E).

I also checked the Ghost ActivityPub integration, but as I understand it, I don't see value at the moment for personal blogs. It might be more useful for communities based on Ghost blogs. #blog #selfhost #activitypub.
My self-hosted blog is ready — https://artm.me. There I post photos and stories from my travels. Running Ghost CMS on @upcloud VPS and custom likes solution is using Supabase API #blog #selfhost #supabase #travel #photography #travelphotography #travelblog

Una muy buena noticia para frikis selfhosters: salió la primera versión estable de immich
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/22546
Immich es un software autoalojable para gestion y almacenamiento de fotos. Yo lo uso desde hace mas de un año y me ha gustado mucho. Es una excelente alternativa a G photos.

Officially kicked of this year's annual #selfhost user survey this morning. This year's survey consists of ~40 questions across five categories and shouldn't take longer than 5-10 minutes to complete.
I've also included a new form for those who'd like to leave feedback on how I can improve next year's survey!

Decentralisation is the biggest enemy of authoritarianism. So #SelfHost. Buy solar and batteries. Heat pumps. Get an electric car. Electric bicycles. Use #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware. Store your data at home. Get a Canon Selphy to print the pictures you take. Buy books. Vinyl or CDs. Join your local library. Do. Don’t discuss. And help your neighbours to do the same things. Sharing is caring. Avoid getting lost in discussions about what’s best. Do. Fail. Share. Learn. Repeat. 1/4
