@ZDF Nein. Ich unterstütze nur noch Open Source Lösungen. Auch finanziell (für kommerzielle habe ich nie was liegen lassen).

@luis_in_brief @tante @hypebot I would love to see that. I've been thinking for a long time about a kind of homepod on which a user hosts everything, from contacts to social, either themselves or in collaboration with others. Of course, the technical hurdle must be as low as possible.

@tante @luis_in_brief @hypebot Yes, that's more or less what I mean, with the explicit use case of also storing private data and an all-in-one app that mirrors it on your phone, i.e. a native provider of contacts/calendars etc. for Android for example. I think I stumbled across this years ago, but dismissed it.

@tante @luis_in_brief @hypebot Just out of interest, because I am implementing my own ActivityPub server: What exactly is overloading smaller instances? Sure there is some overhead in distributing the information, but with shared inboxes and proper http caching I wonder what exactly is happening?

@tante @luis_in_brief @hypebot Hm okay, I don't know how well Mastodon supports that, but as Assets and most of the ActivityPub Objects are quite static, shouldn't a proper proxy cache be able to take off most of the incoming load? I mean with all the heavy stuff that mastodon requires anyway, the servers can't be too small or am I wrong? Might be a problem if signatures are required for all GET requests as well though.
