Glad to hear it!

That just read like a whole bunch of corporate whining. Looks like I won’t be using anything HashiCorp related. Don’t press on my back and tell me it’s raining. This BSL license is not free open source. Fuck off with that shit.

It is very possible to do this! What you need to do is to rent a low-end cloud VPS. Even a 5.00 digital ocean droplet running Ubuntu Linux would do the trick. Then you run an NGINX Proxy Manager reverse proxy with a WireGuard tunnel to the machine that will act as a server for your instance. From there you, you simply set up Let’s Encrypt certificates to use with your intended domain. Even though I am not behind CGNAT, I do this and it works very well.

EDIT: If you intend to do this entirely in open source and need some help, I’ll offer it. I am pretty passionate about open source and helping others out along the way.

The fediverse takes the corporate out of social media!

The fediverse and the surge in open source has made the internet fun again. I haven’t had this much fun with the internet since the mid to late 90s.

Glad the big boss sided with OP though!

Okay, then I think you will be good with around 2GB and 2 cores. I cannot speak highly enough for using Unbound or NSD. As of about two or three years ago, an authoritative DNS capability was added to Unbound and I cannot speak highly enough of it. I’ve used Unbound in production reliably for that long. After moving my domains to Cloudflare though, I found DNS resolution to be speedier simply because the DNS servers sit on an isolated segment instead of mixing traffic so I went that way. But I would go back to using Unbound in a heartbeat if Cloudflare decided to do something stupid. Which is always a distinct possibility because, well, it’s Cloudflare.

Is this being hosted in a VM that would be on-premises or cloud hosted? Is this going to be Windows-based or Linux/BSD based? It generally does not take a whole lot of computational horsepower to handle a lot of DNS requests. If you’re doing to handle DNS using Linux and don’t need dynamic update capability, you would be just fine using something like Unbound or NSD. I’d recommend maybe 2G of RAM and minimum 2 cores allocated. Now Windows will be much different. You’ll need more horsepower than that.

Ah, I see. I hope some maintenance tools will be forthcoming.

I just took a look at the repository for pict-rs and unfortunately nothing in the official docs about cleaning up images. Did you happen to use a bot to assist you in finding communities? If so this might be the reason. After two weeks of running, my image size is only 2.2mb. I should also ask you what the size of your database is. The activity table can get awfully big and very quickly.

I’m sorry but that made no sense to me whatsoever. Are you referring to the creation of an echo chamber? If so you could not be more incorrect. As far as I am concerned, there is no valid argument for painting racism, hatred, and bigotry in positive brush strokes. None whatsoever.

Right now I dont think so but maybe you put in a feature request because it is a good idea?

Exactly! Hate is unhealthy.
