Pixels get verified boot and bootloader relocking for custom roms like grapheneos as well, so you can be sure your device isn't compromised even with a privacy respecting custom rom. I guess this is what most people refer to.. Oh, and Pixels are probably going to get security patches for the kernel as well as the vendor blobs unlike many other vendors..

I have matterbridge set-up on a private chatroom with few people between IRC, Discord and Matrix, because some of the ones I chat with don't really care much about these issues, and are not moving. On matterbridge the delay is significant in some cases and I encounter a few bugs as well. Plus, by having a Discord chatroom in the first place, most people are probably not going to join the other side. We shouldn't even promote Discord usage.

Can't we just have an IRC room on somewhere like Libera, please?

Or if we really need images and stuff, a Matrix room would be sufficient. Or an XMPP room..

I hate being forced to use this crap

For security, disabling the root account is important, so be sure to add --no-preserve-root on the end!

Which provider are you on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I currently use disroot mail. Maybe I'll just donate and connect my domain and still keep using that provider.. Though, having your own domain for emails would be cool. Can use all different addresses for signup on each websites. I wouldn't have to worry about spams at all that way.. (Disroot provides aliases, [email protected] for receiving but the + sign causes error on some poorly made sites)

Sweet, seems like lemmy is pretty lightweight on resources overall. Thanks for the reply :)

Haha, that wasn't really the purpose, I intend to federate and communicate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm also quite unfamiliar with lemmy architecture haha. Well unless the instance I'm trying to federate with defederates/bans my instance, I guess I'll be ok but I don't know.. I'm currently searching for information :)

I see. I think I'll try finding a cheap second hand laptop and run it as a server. (Technically even includes a UPS lol)

The VPS also seems nice, I'll look into it. Thanks!

I'm not sure what parent commenter uses exactly but cloudflared / argo tunnel can be used for free though they don't have some enterprise oriented functions. The daemon running on the server, cloudflared is also open source, available on Gihub.

 

Hello. I'm considering hosting a 1-person instance for my personal use. I'm trying to run on my own hardware, and I have used *nix for quite a long time and maintaining it wouldn't be much of a problem. However, I'm not quite sure what kind of hardware should I run it on.

How powerful should my hardware be? Say, would it be OK on a old PC with Northwood Celeron and 512mb of ram with 384GB HDD? Or maybe an android phone running postmarketOS (Alpine Linux) with MSM8916 and 2GB of ram with 32GB eMMC?

Also, my ISP does not allow opening common server hosting ports, and I'd also prefer not doing so due to security problems. Which ports do I need opened to operate a lemmy instance for my personal use (i'm only going to be connecting from home)? Can I use CloudFlare's cloudflared/Argo Tunnel to do this? (I do know CloudFlare is not great and has problems but I'm not aware of any other similar service, I'm not really able to pay for external servers but if there's an alternative service I'm open to suggestions)

Thanks for reading the post, and hopefully answering.
