Just try it out. I make no guarantees for odd setups like that though. :-)

Great writeup thank you. May I just say that tmyour original plan was both ambitious and a little insane. And even the current cost and infrastructure is bonkers IMHO.

I do hope you’re getting donations to help with the cost. Good luck.

My instance is on the other end of the spectrum: I pay $6/month for it on digitalocean. It has 1G of RAM. It crashes every now and then, likely because of the RAM and OOM killer. But it’s only for me and a few ntfy fans, so it’s quite different.

You can type reset to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.

Excuse my ignorance, but where can I find details to this issueand does it affect only 0.18.1, or also 0.18.0?

Thank you for contributing to the magic if the old school internet.

My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?

Install Debian Stable on a SSD, most likely via debootstrap from the Ubuntu system

What an interesting way to install a new system. I’ve only ever done that for image building purposes. Why would you do that instead of just installing it from a flash drive?

Also: it sounds like you’re manually installing things. I would suggest Ansible or something similar, so that reinstalling isn’t so brittle and manual.

There are plenty of instances that copy the original content. As an instance owner that runs a only a single project specific community, I should be able to decide what content is available on my domain, and what isn’t. Don’t you think?

Aside from the questionable content, there is also legal issues around it that I’d rather not deal with.

There is no way to exclude individual communities. The post URLs are generic, like /post/1234. From nginx or other proxies, I cannot tell what community they belong to. I would love to have my own be searchable, but not at the price of tainting my project’s reputation.

I asked the same question on r/selfhosted a few weeks ago, and I was downvoted just for asking the question.

It’s already integrated into a bunch of things, especially the *arrs, but if you have suggestions, please let me or the maintainers of the other software know.

Here’s a list: https://docs.ntfy.sh/integrations/

It only works with 16.4 afaik.

Hetzner storage box, and just rsync. It takes care of snapshotting via auto snapshots. I costs like $20 for 1T I think. But there are cheaper options yoo

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you my friend ☺️ Glad you like it.

Nope nothing else. Sadly.

I have a laptop with an NVMe drive, and even using a swap on NVMe is orders of magnitude slower than RAM. Usually as soon as you have to swap, everything grinds to a halt quickly, and more stuff stacks up. You can decide for yourself, if you’d rather die a slow death or a quick death.

“If you need to use the swap, you’re doing it wrong” – That’s what I learned long ago. And it has held up so far.

I host an instance for myself. I have subscribed to many communities (10-20), and I run it on a 1 CPU + 1 GB RAM DigitalOcean droplet. However, the Lemmy instance was OOM-killed already once, and I expect that I have to upgrade eventually.

The droplet costs $6/month.
