  8. Who reads your stuff — A or B?

    Cloud that scans your files vs a server that can't. Search that profiles you vs SearXNG that forgets you instantly. Comment which one you'd switch first.

  9. Your data receipt, printed

    Location 24/7, contacts, scanned messages, profiled searches, sampled voice — the receipt big tech never prints. Self-hosted apps have no line items because there's no one to collect for.

  18. The group chat just learned why we self-host

    Account flagged by a classifier, 8 years of photos gone, no appeal path. It happens daily. A server in your closet has no ban button — that's the entire argument, in one chat.

  20. Ok. To do Uncloud on my server I need to run a local registry (unregistry can work as well, but registry is not hard). Then move my services (web, dns, prometheus, s3) over.
    Next backup local gits and decide if I need local forgejo (also has registry....)
    Then reinstall with Fedora and reapply Uncloud

  22. @innocentzero As I understand it, a #Homelab is the entire IT setup, like compute, storage, networking, containers, databases, etc, whether on multiple physical "homeservers" and devices or just one.

    #Homeserver is just a single server, like pc, rpie, etc that you run from home. #Selfhosting

  41. That’s frightening because #Garage will switch into a read-only mode in that case and brake #GlitchySocial #Mastodon instance.

    So I need to replace my Asus PM42 with something with SATA and NVMe support. Also, something cheap. Also, something that would handle the same RAM Asus box uses currently.
