#footimac — Public Fediverse posts

AAAlliiiiivveeee... I'm alive!

Haven't actually made any changes, just rebooted #FootiMac. Will have to figure out the root causes tomorrow.

#Debian #iMac #MacOSX

Updated to v4.5.8!
And done a few things to try to tame #footiMac so she doesn't get grumpy and go all unresponsive again!

I fully and completely endorse the freedom of setting your own character and polling limits! Please join me in this celebration but taking part in this meaningless poll!

Still haven't figured out why I can't convince the nginx-rtmp docker container to relay my web stream. Annoying.

Anyway... in the meantime I've taken some other measures to try to take a load off #FootiMac so that my instance is more responsive (it's very laggy these days) and so I can test out the 4.5rc2 release.

Seems to be a little happier now.

Upgrade in progress. This account will likely be unavailable periodically today as I do the upgrade.

Hey selfhosters! Any links handy (beyond the stock Mastodon docs) on switching a selfhost from internal storage to cloud?

TIA! :+)

I had hoped to add some #ffmpeg hardware acceleration on the #timelapses at @alberniweather using the old AMD RV730 card in #footiMac but I've not found the magic command to make it happy. I got close I think, but it seems to just refuse to connect to the video driver.

If there are any ffmpeg experts out there familiar with vaapi and old AMD graphics cards, I'd love to have a little help.

I created a reddit post in r/ffmpeg with all the details.

Alright that's enough for tonight! Very happy with how this is turning out. And all with trusty #footiMac and its #selfhost #Mastodon and #Pixelfed instances running merrily in the background. Tomorrow hopefully we can get the webcam hardware mostly-mounted up on the roof for some new views for the world! Exciting!

So proud 🥹 of #footiMac rn.
Taking everything I throw at her!
#selfhost Mastodon and Pixelfed
Nginx webcam stream
WeeWx weather server inc. rsync to remote
local DNS server
Periodic webcam archive and 30min timelapse generation
And now it's chugging through (at 0.7fps) a 30 day timelapse video.
Just goes to show you shouldn't just get rid of old hardware! It can do a lot, given the right tasks!

I gotta hand it to the venerable 2008 iMac (Intel Core2Duo). It just keeps chugging away. I'm currently throwing 22,000 images at it to create a monthly timelapse.... on top of its Mastodon, pixelfed, weather server and sftp duties.

If it takes a few seconds for reactions to my posts to register, this will be why for the next 6 hours or so. (only compressing at 1fps!)

I would also like to point out that without elasticsearch enabled, #footiMac uses just over 4GB of its 16GB of RAM.
WIth ElasticSearch running, 12GB is being used.
This may be a short lived test.
lol

My wife just deactivated her Twitter account, which she never used anyway, after logging into it and seeing her timeline was just Musk, Russia, and Ads. Now I am trying to convince her to create a Mastodon account on our #footiMac #selfhosted instance for her to ignore too. 😂 😆 Not biting. 😝 #EndofTwitter #DumpMusk #Mastodon #Family
