Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)

You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

I was going to recommend Logseq as well. I use the git plug-in on laptops and Working Copy (git on iOS) and some automations to sync it on mobile.

I also have around 3GB used for pictrs and I’m not really sure the best way to see what all content is in there.

I’m about to do the same thing. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Advanced data protection is across your entire account, not per device. According to Apple’s documentation they rotate the keys locally on your devices and then delete them from their services so they no longer have a key to give.

I’d use some sort of generative “find on page” or “summarize page” where I could have a quick Q/A without needing to read a long article.

If you aren’t attached to Ansible, I suggest using Docker to host Lemmy. I found it’s instructions, using Docker Compose, to be quite straight forward.

My other 2 cents is that hosting on Windows isn’t worth the hassle and there will be a lot less to debug on Ubuntu if you’re already comfortable with it.

+1 to using a subdomain. You’ll probably have a much better time even if you get a path working.

I’ve been trying to debug this as well so it’s not just you.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for this.

I started with my self-hosted Mastodon instance but quickly realized that just added noise. Self-hosting Lemmy was pretty simple and now I run both.

The resource needs for a small Lemmy instance are quite low and practically nothing compared to my Mastodon instance.

It’s not the cheapest but I use a DigitalOcean instance to do what you are describing. I’ve been burned by VPS hosts and I’ve enjoyed the complete lack of drama or downtime with DigitalOcean.

For port forwarding I’m using Private Internet Access and gluetun. I don’t really recommend Private Internet Access and, like you, I’m interested in a better solution. It’d be nice if I could use ProtonVPN’s port forwarding but it looks like that only works if you use their app.

I run my own FreshRSS and it’s been a great experience.

I second this. I used to use Raspberry Pis but one mini PC can do so much more and isn’t much more expensive.

I find this really useful for small instances that don’t have a large communities tab.

Hopefully large instances keep federating with the small, self-hosted ones. I’m not sure how to check but I think really small instances still have the most reach.

It may be worth taking a look at https://lemmyverse.net/communities to see if you can find anything you are interested in.

Things got much nicer in Mastodon when a user could migrate instances. The problem with all of Server A blocking all of Server B is it’s very difficult for a user on Server B to migrate.

I’d love to see feedback from admins on the scaling problems they are having. Hopefully that scales per server and not per user per server.

The vast majority of servers run Linux and the simplest way to deploy services is with containers. Unix and Windows are much less supported and even running outside containers is fading away.

If you are interested, it may be simpler to spin up a small Linux VM.
