So this #Gotosocial instance is running on an old Zotac Zbox ID18 that I bought way back in 2018. It has 2gb ram and a 64gb ssd drive. Should be sufficient, I hope.

I have quite a complex routing setup at home and I struggle to get reverse proxy to work. As a solution I am using a Cloudflare Tunnel to run it on the web. So far it works well.

okay so I've been working on the "allow showing boosts on the web view (opt-in!!!!)" PR, and if a profile allows showing boosts in their profile web view then there's a little button next to "recent posts" that says "exclude boosts", so you can also still get a view without boosts to see just the stuff they've posted!!!

kiss my butt!

Jetzt wieder ein kleines Stück Unabhängigkeit erreicht. Mein eigener kleiner GoToSocial‑Server läuft seit fast 24 Stunden. Dezentral, selbst gehostet und Open‑Source, genau so stelle ich mir soziale Medien vor. Danke an die Leute in der Community, die das möglich machen.

@hi giving a +1 on #GoToSocial, the filled with bugs software (nearly paraphrasing @dumpsterqueer) that doesn’t bug me. But you already know this ;-)

@hi ah, I question I just cannot resist!

I have my own instances of #Gotosocial, #snac2, and... #honk, all for my own use.

All running as jails on a FreeBSD box with an 8 core Ryzen 7 and 32GB memory, but those 3 jails, plus a couple of others only really utilise about 4-5GB.

@hi I love fedi meta talk 😀
As a Rails dev I started with #Mastodon (I‘m used to run Rails apps). It‘s great, but too much for my needs.

Now I have a #GotoSocial and a #snac2. I like them both, but GTS having a global timeline to read the federated stuff I feed via API into the instance with some scripts made it the primary instance for now.

I am on this snac2 instance with an eye toward a future experiment of running my own instance.
