Thanks for making this happen!

Tailscale is great. Don’t believe the bad press. You can always switch in the future if they change their trajectory.

I run all of that on a Dell Optiplex that I bought refurbished in your price range. I couldn’t figure out the self-signing certificates to run nextcloud without a domain, so I run OwnCloud, but hopefully you’ll have better luck.

By the same token, you could just read the Cliff’s Notes and burn down an acre of rainforest to achieve the same results.

How is this not great news?

Russian asset. They’ve been backing Iran from the start.

Maybe not a novel, but probably an airport paperback.

Yes, please split the Right.

This time make it a joint announcement immediately from the White House rose garden two beautiful poles before Bibi gets on a plane and changes his mind.

I’m not sure you understood the point I was making. Multiple platforms exist on the fediverse. Interoperability is a nice plus but it’s not the core feature of the protocol.

Mastodon is strongest around microblogging because that’s what it’s built for. Lemmy is strongest for community discussions because that’s what it’s built for. There are options like mbin that do more to bridge the gap in different ways.

Success of a platform is mostly centered around doing a particular thing very well. There is nothing stopping someone from making multiple accounts across multiple platforms (or even the same platform).

I’d recommend trying to set up different accounts and see if you find one meets your criteria better.

There are different platforms that serve different uses. Using a common protocol enhances development and growth, and the flexibility of the protocol lets developers build on it without reinventing the wheel.

This is great, thanks!

Of course it’s legal. It’s just stupid.

Yes!

Someone in this community once said that if you’re not ready with a backup plan, then you’re not ready for self-hosting.

The distro doesn’t really have much impact on the end result. Use what you prefer. Especially if you are using containers which is really the way to go anyway.

It’s worth noting that there are some problems with using Snap. I don’t recall the service I was using, but I was pulling out my hair trying to solve something that I could not get working. Turns out that the snap installation did not function in the expected way and the solution was to re-install without Snap.

For additional context, immigration law includes specific carveouts for domestic abuse. Under the law, a victim of domestic violence cannot be deported legally regardless of their immigration status.

I’m not pirating. I’m building my model.
