Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues

I’ve used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.

Very familiar UI over there. Creating an acct now

Convenience is the main issue. AFAIK, as long as you secure your device, it’ll do the job

Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect

Proprietary so it’s a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.

Yeah. I forget that we’re still likely in the ‘early adopter’ phase of things for now, which is why a lot of the UX is hit or miss depending on the instance and iteration

Great response 👍🏾

IIRC, the fediverse pertains to an interconnnected network of servers that are managed individually. Privacy is an option that led many current users to the fediverse but is by no means a requirement.

If/when threads joins the fediverse, it will have addictive algorithms and collect large amounts of user data.

My guess is that it will be like the banking system in the US where many ppl go to the exploitative larger banks out of seeming convenience w/o realizing that the alternative, less popular Credit Unions actually have the consumers’ best interest @ heart

What surprised me was the amount of Android users. I guess self-hosters are predisposed to tinkering in general perhaps?

I use it. It’s great for seeing your progress of reading a book over time. I update the # of pages I read for every book and the dates show me my pace.

I decided to create a few threads after a few months hiatus and was surprised by the levels of engagement. I think the audience is hungry for content and that more people need to take the plunge and start threads.

With that said, going to /all instead of /subscribed is largely frustrating since the most frequent posts are just memes and inside jokes

TBH, the fish tld is kinda lame, and I say this as a firefish user. But yeah, here are my $0.02:

gefilte.fish
wearethe.world
fishkey.world

Installed Gogs but will switch the this FOSS version tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

How’s it compare to gitea?

Definitely look into laptop servers. They have the benefit of having a built-in screen, keyboard and battery in case power goes down. IMO, as a fellow newbie, it’s an easy way to dip your toes into hosting using existing/cheap resources

Simple, yet better UX than most server-related content. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know about ctop.

I installed Debian on a laptop to use as a server, and planned to use it for Firefly III among other things, but got nervous hearing how tough it was/is to lock down a server.

Whoops, just remembered that I found the above course to be better suited for IT professionals/people with prior knowledge. Here is his course that I’m currently taking.

I find it to be much easier to follow than his prior-mentioned course

I’ve been using my library’s membership to LinkedIn Learning to take a Docker Essentials course
