selfhosted
Almost done my custom recycled component OPNSense router. Final missing piece is this 2" PCIe riser. I may hit MicroCenter today. #opnsense #selfhosted #selfhosting #homekit
And if not, well, then this was me shouting into the proverbial big void. Win-win either way?

Very pleased to share Convoy, a new course offering in #selfhosted server infrastructure.
Intended for newcomers to the craft, participants are fully supported in the build up of a high-reputation, sovereign and private email server in just 8hours, with spam protection and great delivery to all the big mailboxes.
Dozens of free accounts can be given to family, friends and colleagues to help them off predatorial, shady and AI-ridden email providers.

#introduction
Hello,
I am a #sysadmin looking to keep up to date with new stuff going on in tech, both in the professional industry and hobby, #selfhosting #selfhosted arena.
If it’s tech I’m probably interested in it, but specifically I am messing with #meshcore these days and trying to self-host a #discord alternative. I love #linux and #unix and nerd out over the history of both.
Haack's Networking
The PubGLUG Nextcloud is live and open for registration. All accounts are manually approved and users must be 18 years of age and/or older. This instance is a community effort and part of the greater set of offerings that Haack's Networking provides.
🔗 The PubGLUG Nextcloud: https://cloud.gnulinux.vip
🔗 All PubGLUG Services: https://haacksnetworking.dev
It is my hope that in offering a community Nextcloud with open and moderated registration ... that this will result in more users choosing #selfhosted and/or #floss offerings for groupware (contacts, calendars, etc.). Those interested in setup notes and/or seeking assistance are encouraged to come chat on Matrix (link above). This instance has the following features:
▶️ Server-side encryption ensures that content on External Storage will be encrypted whether users set it up or not
↪️ E2E encryption provides users an easy way to use the Nextcloud sync client to create shares that even the sysadmin cannot see
💾 Users are given 50GB of storage from a large btrfs platter-based pool; users may request more in DMs with valid use-cases; users may attach their own external storage.
🔦 This instance is designed to assist in pulling people off iCloud, Google, etc. and teach/persuade them how to self-host NC themselves
✨️This is early registration. Some policies are not yet finished, some bugs remain, and we might find that some things don't work. Please be patient. With that said, feel free to sign up and let me know when you've joined. We are at the mall all day, but I've got access for approvals on the phone.
✍️ By using this instance, you agree to the Terms of Service: https://cloud.gnulinux.vip/index.php/s/roioz485eNsYTPm

也搭建了一个relay：https://relay.feddit.social ，使用的是relay.infosec.exchange和relay.portal.gb0.dev同款的asonix/relay(或者说AodeRelay)：https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/relay
但是有点问题：比如两个实例没有图片www，还有我的主实例总显示" 等待中继站的确认"，但是实际上已经加入了，fedishark.org是秒accept、moe.pub也是刷新就accept了（（
还有其他的几个维护比较活跃的relay，接下来可以试试：

I decided to do a series of posts about my #homelab architecture.
I'm not quite done with the series yet! I still need to detail the roadmap I currently have planned, but it's complete enough at the moment to post.
Enjoy!

It's once again time for a new #introduction
Hi! I'm Crabbypup, or just 'crabby', though only in name.
I'm in Kitchener-Waterloo, and I'm a linux-flavoured computer toucher.
I share stuff about the region, Open source software in general and #linux in specific.
I like to tinker in my #homelab, where I run #proxmox, #ceph, and a bunch of other #selfhosted services including #homeassistant.
I'm a rather inconsistent poster, and a prolific booster, but I'm glad to be here.
mlisp alpha is out: packages for Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD.
A mailing list manager where the Maildir is the database. No separate
state to drift out of sync, the archive is the audit trail. CAN-SPAM,
GDPR, and CASL compliance are test-covered code paths, not a checklist
bolted on after the fact.
The Mailman/smartlist/Mailchimp replacement that doesn't put your list
in someone else's TOS.

It's #FairtradeMusicFriday! Here's a new submission thread for July.
As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist - it doesn't even need to be new.
Just make a direct public comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!
Buying or boosting will make an artist's day 💙

On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the cloud-computing kind.
Most of them were physically going up in a column of smoke in Strasbourg.
My wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. It was going to be a very long day.
At EuroBSDCon 2026, I won't be giving a theoretical lecture on high availability. Instead, I’m going to tell the raw story of that night: the emergency recovery, the architectural choices that actually saved us, and the ones that crumbled under pressure (because we rarely talk about what fails).
Most of all, I’ll explain why that night changed my perspective, and why I’ve come to see BSD systems not just as operating systems, but as essential, practical tools for building simpler, more resilient infrastructure.
The official schedule is now live. If you want to hear a real-world post-mortem, join me on Saturday, 12 Sept at 11:15 (Room D.0.02).
EuroBSDCon Full schedule: https://events.eurobsdcon.org/2026/schedule/
See you there! ☕️

An update on my triple 2080ti on DDR3 local solar powered AI server. It's impressive for its age and the fact that I built it for $700 plus a bunch of old crap. Combined forces of older hardware works!
I've got Hermes Agent running, the LLM is Qwen3.6-35B. Hermes has *read-only* access to my Google Workspace (for good reason!).
The LLM can push 550w+ across the 3x 2080ti GPUs. 33GB of VRAM allows big model and big context - Home Assistant works so nicely with a big LLM.
I want to drop in a Xeon E5-1680 v2 CPU, but that's about it for hardware.
Spec list:
* Intel Core i7-3930K CPU
* Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 Motherboard
* 64GB DDR3 RAM (8 x 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-1600C9D-16GXM)
* 3 x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Blower Edition GPUs (33GB Total VRAM)
* Corsair RM1000e 1000W Power Supply (Refurbished)
* 240GB SATA SSD (OS Boot Drive)
* 3 x 1TB SATA SSDs (AI Storage Array)
* Advantech Industrial Computer 510 Case

Thinking about a new domain+project...
Anyone have the TL;DR; on self hosted fediverse software?
Mastodon vs Snac vs Pleroma vs ?
I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.
Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.
I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.
What's out there?
I’m thinking about turning my #VPS in a #Proxmox node and adding it to my #homelab cluster. All other nodes are at my home. They will communicate through #WireGaurd. How bad is this idea? Anyone tried this?

With Apple phasing out AFP in macOS 27 and Time Capsules officially reaching end-of-life, it's time to move network backups to proper SMB.
If you run a FreeBSD server, you can build a fast, rock-solid, and secure Time Machine target powered by ZFS and Samba - neatly isolated inside a FreeBSD jail using Bastille.
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/01/28/time-machine-freebsd-jail/
Keep your macOS backups running smoothly via SMBv3 (with full vfs_fruit support) and full dataset quota control on ZFS!
