I stopped self-hosting stuff that’s for the family. In case something happens to me, no way my wife is going to keep this stuff running. And the kids are too young. So they would lose everything.

Family stuff goes in managed solutions (like Proton). Personal and public stuff is selfhosted.

Just something to consider.

This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

Ooh an iPhone that’s been locked for 50 years, I wonder what iPhones looked like in 1974!

I haven’t read this. But I know you can unlock your iPhone using your icloud account.

(Still, happy I switched to android this year)

It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don’t disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

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?

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)

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

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

(I’ll add links / descriptions later)

I host the following fediverse stuff:

• Lemmy (you’re looking at it)
• Mastodon (3 instances)
• Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
• Pixelfed
• Misskey
• Writefreely
• Funkwhale
• Akkoma (2 instances)
• Peertube

And these are other things I host:

• Kimai2
• Matrix/Synapse
• Silver Bullet
• XWiki (3 instances)
• Cryptpad (2 instances)
• Gitea
• Grafana
• Hedgedoc
• Minecraft
• Nextcloud
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Paperless-ngx
• TheLounge
• Vaultwarden
• Zabbix
• Zammad

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.

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

I really like Joplin

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…

Bored script kiddies have time in the weekends when they are allowed screen time by their mommies. Then they create scripts to bombard our server and grind the thing to a halt. Gives us the opportunity to improve things like rate limiting etc every time, but also means some downtime…

I think I should own .world

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)

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

I run XWiki in Docker.
