Do you want to host just for yourself or for other people as well?

Debian is by default suited for server. Just skip the desktop environment part in the installer.

Error 1033 Ray ID: 997d292e2f4c62e5 • 2025-11-01 17:37:34 UTC Cloudflare Tunnel error What happened?

You’ve requested a page on a website (copyparty.ghodawalaaman.xyz) that is on the Cloudflare network. The host (copyparty.ghodawalaaman.xyz) is configured as an Cloudflare Tunnel, and Cloudflare is currently unable to resolve it.

Looks interesting, written nicely! Gonna subscribe via RSS :)

Thanks! Didn’t know Lemmy doesn’t have something like an ingress queue

Due to the rate of federation being limited by latency, instances have actually been re-locating to mostly Europe, so they can more easily keep up with each other.

Any examples for that? Latency causing instances not being able to keep up with federation is new to me.

Can’t say I agree. Appreciated the overview

Where in the world are you?

I guess eBay works in large parts of the world, and websearching for refurbished tech could yield helpful results.

Drew’s post is linked though

You’re in for a great time, have fun!

i3 6100 is on the lower end, but it depends on what you plan to do with it.

Don’t buy anything yet! Except the HDD maybe. Use what you already have to tinker with things and try different setups.

A common OS people use is Proxmox, it’s free and you can easily create VMs. You’ll come across Docker/Containers sooner or later and you can easily test them in a VM.

Play around, figure out what you need and how you want to set it up, and only then get the necessary hardware.

Why would you?

How does using Podman help when the registry is down?

Yes, they have their own datacenters.

They are also one of/the biggest hosting providers fedi instances use, if they’d go down, big parts of fedi would as well

I also switched to that, used sync thing before. Super glad I can still use my old Tolino despite the broken USB port (charging works)

Man, that would be great

I clicked the link and read the site and still have no idea what that is

Not every device supports it, but you can download books via OPDS, which Calibre supports natively. I run KOReader on my Tolino and it works great with it

Hooray!
