After reflecting at 80C; my near future plan is to keep running this indeterminatelySocialmedia is at dire times, I don't want to dump this cosy spot until we've better solutionsI strongly encourage ppl who can, run their own instances & just connect to usNOT YOUR INSTANCE NOT YOUR DATAI will keep signups closed, maybe invite only laterModeration rules will remain the same w/ the exception of being less understanding w/ ppl being dicks, that includes bitching about BH on Twitter

@nvk It has been 6 months since I 1st stacked. I learned about cold storage & am working on learning to run a node & do the damn thing. I appreciate the space here so I can learn more & be better at privacy & such while finding camaraderie. I’m more of a hands on make art & grow food/experiment with mediums that are super forgiving & more tangible for me. This stretch of my journey is very out of my comfort zone, which is good... thanks for the opportunity to help build for the future 🖖

@nvk I agree in principle, BUT a nice thing about someone else's instance is the additional layer of indirection it provides. With my own instance I have more security and privacy overhead and a much larger footprint.

@KevinR4v @nvk Note that RPis really need good sdcards for stuff like Mastodon servers. So if you decide to try that, follow the official recommendations on what brand of SD card to get. There's special high endurance ones for applications like this. A bit more expensive. But it'll save you a lot of trouble.

@KevinR4v @nvk Also, more RAM will help with sdcard endurance by allowing more data to be cached, reducing the total # of writes. Probably not a huge improvement. But for $30 I'd do it.

@nvk is bitcoinhackers instance set up to be able to act as a relay? I was able to add you as one in my settings panel and it shows as "Waiting for relay's approval" next to the domain but not sure if it's something you allow at your end or even if you'd be notified that I tried to connect

@pete @KevinR4v @nvk Consider installing Pleroma instead. It is compatible with Mastodon and using much less resources. Mine is using around 400MB RAM in total and depends on much less software. Only problem is it doesn't migrate accounts for now (will do in the next revision )

@mutatrum @pete @KevinR4v @nvk Not sure about Mastodon hosting, but I can recommend the 1TB Samsung T5 "portable SSD". With USB3 the read/write speed is about the same as a typical hard disk, and faster than "sticks" or microsd. Cost is about the same as an internal HD. If you go the UHS-II route, you're going to pay more and still slower than T5. I formatted mine with ext4 no problem :-) https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/portable/t5/
