HowTo install your own ActivityPub instance for the Fediverse based on snac2 on your #FreeBSD system. Snac2 is a simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance written in portable C.

@npub1fza…qg7t well done and very helpful, thanks!
One suggestion, when not passing the data directory in a correct way, the rc file tells that the service has been started even it didn’t which results in a missleading and confusing output.

The biggest disadvantage for me:
Running #Linux instead of #FreeBSD (even 90% of the #VMs are FBSD)

2023-11-28 17:26:28

Having a personal and powerful #Proxmox cluster with 256GB memory, #HA #Ceph storage cluster and 4x 2x 1Gbs uplink but only 4x public #IPv4 and need to #NAT #IPv6… and I’m totally fine with this :)

2023-11-27 17:40:48

In 2023, it’s a shame that I have to choose between using #Tunnelbroker or #IPv6 #NAT (or another hosting provider). I really love Tunnelbroker /#HENet but the pops got really slow and unneeded higher latencies. #dnat #ip6neigh

I thought about getting a project domain for the manpageblog but I'm not quite sure if this is such a good idea when it comes to these things. I know, that many projects sites do not deal with this and everything is fine until something happens.

@npub1t7d…pqpp yesterday, I had it in my shopping cart but just after payment it told me that it was out of stock. Bad site not reserving the products in the cart. However, I’m unsure if I should wait again or just go with the Pi 4.

2023-11-09 16:55:20

Worth to wait for a Pi 5 or am I good to go with a Pi 4? Looking only for 8gb versions… I think I only need ram, ram and more ram instead of cpu.

2023-11-09 14:24:29

Ok, this being said a few days ago, I just started to create the project #manpageblog which is a simple and static blog generator in a manpage design - written in Python. Perfect for #DevOps #Developers #Devs and everyone else who can live with static sites.

2023-11-07 18:48:22

Any recommendations for a hoster (except of hyperscaler and hetzner) offering ARM64 (aarch64) based systems with at least 16Gb RAM or should I go hosting home on my /28 ipv4 and /48 ipv6 with a new Mac mini based on Apple Silicon?

@npub1pcd…8fzy @npub1t7d…pqpp I know that Stefano is very carefully doing such things and just wants the best for all of us but censorship is a pretty tight balancing act.
Blocking spam/scam etc. is probably a valid reason as long as it doesn't affect the opinions of others and the content is legal.
JIMHO, I'm fully out of any discussions on social media when it comes to political, etc., topics but I have still the option to decide if I want to see or even participate to.

2023-11-05 13:56:39

- reply

@npub1t7d…pqpp Honestly, I've mixed feelings about this and I'm absolutely not a fan of any censorship and blocking of content. I think especially this is what the Fediverse is made for and people complained about a too restrictive moderation of content on Twitter/X.
Independent of any content, what might happen if a Windows fan instance admin decides to block any BSD instances just because he's hating BSD?
I understand that this is certainly not the content mentioned, but it clearly shows where this could lead.
It should be up to the users to decide what they want to see and what not. The user can still block this on his own.
However, If there's any non legal content this should be reported in any way.

Twitter people ask me why I’m still using the Fesiverse, Fediverse and Nostr ones asking me why I’m still on Twitter.
Twitter: you cannot easily move a few thousands of followers to another platform. Next to this, I really want to share „knowledge“ and tips to a broad audience. Hiding stuff to beginners won’t make their lives easier. This is also why I publish code on GitHub instance of self hosted instances.
Fediverse/Nostr: first, my account was just for playing around but at some time @npub1t7d…pqpp asked me on Twitter because of my FreeBSD content, if I’d like to move over to the BSD Cafe. At this point, I had no emotions by switching the Fedi instance and I moved over to the BSD cafe. From browsing once a month it switched to a almost daily based one, now. Why? Thanks to @npub1t7d…pqpp I found him and many other ones (also on the bsd network instance and other ones) in the Fediverse, sharing the same mindset. I also got hinted to the weekly FreeBSD Jail meeting where I try to participate as often as possible again with a really veeerrryyy open and friendly community. It’s like a small family this community and I honestly may say, this differs completely from Linux ones (but this is off topic and shouldn’t matter here right now).
However, I always tried to avoid being on social media and now I’m in the Fediverse and Twitter. I like both ones and ma use Twitter more often, but here I’m home.
Thanks to everyone! Have a nice weekend!

@npub1t7d…pqpp I'd assume it wouldn't make a big difference. On a smartphone while idling the modem is the most energy consuming part. The connection is more or less established in all ways for the push backends so it's just another cpu consumer which runs for a millisecond to perform its task.

@npub1t7d…pqpp that there isn’t really a consistent UI except of the web. Sure, there’re clients, but not all support all platforms. Therefore, you have to deal with different apps, different look and different behaviors… now, I’m falling back to the web view which is also not ideal for me.

This is real but not - and this could be your face!
Well, let's have a look at #AI and training models.
Public social media profiles offer a big possibility in scraping data. That’s nothing new so far but let’s have a look what everyone can do with these kind of data nowadays. In the past (and still ongoing) it was more regarding data theft in a kind of text like names, addresses, birthday, etc. Today, this also applies easily to photos. Guess, where you can find tons of public available pictures of people and especially of the same person - social media! What could possibly go wrong when posting hundreds or thousands of pictures of you, your wife or even your kids? Just by scraping the public available pictures from a social media platform you are able to train and create models for #AI (of anyone).
What might happen is shown right now. This random girl on social media platform posted around 1k pictures which were used for training a model. Afterwards I generated some pictures of her in France and sent her those. She replied that this is awesome but she has never been in France before and how this could be possible. We had some talks and afterwards she granted me to show this generated picture as an example. She also set her profile to private, now.
While this is just an example, this could be generated in every constellation in a kind of location, clothing (or even not!), other people, fore- & backgrounds.
Please, be aware of the data you post in public and keep your personal data safe!

What do you think about using your #Smartphone as a #Desktop? #SamsungDeX (#DEX) could be a possibility. Running multiple and free scalable windows at the same time. Using #SSH, #GIT, #VSCode (#VisualStudioCode) and do you casual #DevOps, #Frontend, #Backend things done. #Terminus also provides you a fully #CLI environment. An external keyboard and mouse can be connected by USB-C (or even USB-A by a USB hub) or #Bluetooth connection.
#Gaming? Sure - just give streaming services like #GeForceNow, #XCloud/#XboxCloudGaming a try to even play triple A games like #Battlfield5, #Battlefield2042 or #FIFA2023 on your smartphone in Desktop mode.
Now, with #foldable #devices like the #GalaxyFold (#GalaxyFold4, #GalaxyFold5) you might have a #smartphone, #tablet and #computer/#notebook in a single device without any further need of #syncing files via #cloud #services.
