I’m Sarah. I’m a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can’t do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

11·2 years ago@aniki As I said, I did the comparisons fully expecting to get a NUC. The Mac was cheaper at the performance point.
As for US prices, not especially relevant to me. Import taxes are a thing.
@Skwiggs Few months. I was using an old laptop with Debian before but Friendica was cooking it, literally.
The M2 Mini doesn’t break a sweat. It just takes the load and gets on with it.
@ninjan friendica can get quite heavyweight.
@aniki because it was the cheapest machine available for the performance I wanted in a useful form factor.
@deleted I couldn’t find one with equivalent performance to the M2 for less money.
I am not purchasing in dollars.
@TCB13 I was surprised as well.
@BornDeranged I’m running everything in containers. Not got anything which cares which architecture the server is. Data is data.
@Skunk Nice. I’m happy with the M2 running MacOS and just spinning up Linux VMs in UTM as needed. It seems to handle them without breaking a sweat and, for self hosted stuff, having the VM bridged to a VLAN tagged interface gives me that extra reassurance without having to have the whole machine on that interface.
If the baddies compromise the Friendica server, I can just Remote Desktop into the Mac and nuke the VM. Bye bye.
@BornDeranged Honestly, moving stuff to the cloud is trivial. Everything is in containers and I can just setup the nginx reverse proxy that’s also running on the VLAN to redirect to the cloud. Job done.

@glasgitarrewelt Thanks. The routing is less the issue than creating the interface that sends traffic to the Tailscale exit node. AIUI the way Tailscale operates on OpenWRT is to provide an interface whose destination is the tailnet, not an exit node.
