Interesting approach, good luck! Admittedly I’m not sure if many users want to take their media uploading in their own hands and pay for it but maybe I’m wrong. Where are the images stored? Do you have your own hardware? Backups etc?

Also since you’re interested in Fediverse media storage, I recently read about https://jortage.com/ It’s a third party storage for your instance with deduplication, pretty interesting idea. Takes away a bit of the federated part though

My company does host an instance, but I’ve never used it for game streaming. No idea what the fps is

Jitsi or Element call

I mean, I find posting about homelabs interesting already, especially with second hand hardware! There are several related subreddits, but the homelabs communities here are quite empty. I recently set up my own and should post about it, even though it’s pretty basic

Do you post more about your diy data center? Pretty interested :)

It seems like the vps stuff is fine, but the company I work at uses them as cloud provider (many VMs plus K8S clusters) and the quality is not so great to say the least. Also the support is sometimes blaming us for their outages and generally not too helpful.

This sounds super cool, I’ve been looking for something to keep track of my plants! Gonna try this

Wait, how do you know my password?

That’s actually better I think. A project with zero open issues/requests is usually dead, not fast in solving issues.

Didn’t see it back then, just came across this on mastodon today. Sure they are competitors, given that nextcloud started as am owncloud fork, but they probably monitored ownclouds development closer than everyone else.

The resources required by federating depend on how many people follow each other across those two instances and how much these post. Just existing and theoretically federating doesn’t need any resources if there’s nobody following, assuming threads isn’t doing that different from everyone else.

For each post a user makes on your instance, it sends that post to each instance where someone follows the poster. There’s no automatic sending to every known instance of every post on your instance.

I had no idea! Thanks

I wish it had a self hostable sync feature

Every image on the federated timeline. It’s a lot if users on your instance follow many other users.

It depends on the country you’re in I guess. In Germany, and other countries as well I guess, you’re not liable for stuff others people post on your platform as long as you react to reports and actually remove that shit when it’s brought to your attention. You don’t have to look at your instances media folder 24/7

Yes, it’s possible. It requires some knowledge in server administration though, you can find the specifics at the Lemmy GitHub page.

I don’t notice whether communities are kbin or Lemmy, so no idea. I think many communities being on Lemmy partly comes from that being released a few years earlier.

Unfortunately not. I think some areas have hashtags for that kind of stuff and someone is working on a new platform, but it’s not there yet.

Isn’t Mastodon Ruby?
