Looking at the resource usage of mine, a tiny cheap VPS for $4/mo would be enough, sans the image store. But it's not a hard requirement unless you expect to have lots of local communities posting pictures.

Lemmy's issue is that it's non-trivial to deploy and oftentimes painful to upgrade.

SLACC doesn't support sending stuff like DNS servers.

It does

If you drop the projector, then airpods already do it better when paired with the watch. There's no point in such a device at all, then.

Is there anything interesting at all reported in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg?

I did ran out of pcie, yeah :-( the network peaks at about 26gbit/s, which is the most you can squeeze out of pcie 3.0 x4. I could move the nvmes off the pcie 4.0 x16 (I have two m2 slots on the motherboard itself), but I planned to expand the nvme storage to 4x SSDs and I’m out of the pci lanes on the other end of the fiber either way (that box has all x16 going to the gpu)

I run 3900X with a 40Gbit fiber, packed with HDDs and nvmes. The box fluctuates around 90-110W use.

when you said that Nextcloud might not meet your needs, was your concern specifically the server-side data format?

I'd prefer them as plain files. Technically it doesn’t matter much to me if it's a database, if I have to spin up an S3-compatible API, or if I need to slice up a zvol for it, but I just prefer the files because then I can do zfs snapshots (in which I trust) and backup with restic (in which I trust)

That gives me hope, thanks. I’ll try it, then.

Lots of files. I'd offload old projects that I worked on with synology drive so they aren’t stored locally, only remotely (but are easily accessible).

It was my first introduction to the type-length-value concept over the network, seemed radically different from the text only IRC protocol that I knew back then. I remember how fun it was to write an elegant parser for the ICQ messaging, and how I ended up on somewhat a DOM model where I converted the on-wire format into series of nested objects. Not the most efficient idea, but it was neat.

Or just slap a GPL and subsume everything within a vortex of FREEDOM, and thusly become a true FOSS dude

Yeah, no. I suppose this is sarcasm, but just in case: not every license is compatible with GPL, GPL has a few versions, and not everything is GPL-3-and-above.

Personally, I prefer Apache-2.0. It just seems more fair.

Fediverse generally runs on ActivityPub, which uses HTTP as a transport, so you’ll be good. The problem is that the clients don’t talk to fediverse, it's more of a server-to-sever protocol; you'd look into the specific server APIs. But you’re good there, too - all the big fediverse players use RESTful HTTP for their client-facing API.
