I deployed it for my last employer on our linux environment. My buddies who still work there said Linux was fine while they had to help the windows Admins fix their hosts.
Neat, I'm affected by this too. I've been putting off trying to figure out why Thunderbird keeps asking for my outlook password. I guess it'll self resolve eventually
So really, I just need to host my own instance to see votes. Nice.
It just never ends. I'm so happy I've moved to Debian.
You've made 32 comments. 300MB a day must be mostly cache content from other instances that you're viewing. I don't see any reason to keep that past 30 days. I might even say 14 days.
I have a couple hours today. I've set up an instance pretty easily. Resources with just me doesn't seem bad at all. Your other comment about illegal uploads is what's holding me back from making a public one. Not only do I not want to be a mod, I don't want to see that shit. I have a hard enough time seeing the thumbnail of some lemmyNSFW before I can block it.
I love that tailscale/wireguard doesn't reply to UDP packets without the key. I only have the one UDP port open at my house. All my hosts are on tailscale. Sadily Matrix and Lemmy need to be public public.
You could really mess with people and use admin@ctrlaltelite.xyz but not have it as the admin account. hah. You host it at home or out "in the cloud"? Curious what others do.
I have a couple VPSes for my Tailscale exit nodes and one as an ingress/proxy for my selfhosted stuff at home. They're all super cheap and have unmetered* network connections. Kubernetes on some PIs and Lenovo tinys support all my services at home.
If you are going to host an instance open to public registrations you need moderation. Even if it’s just to keep the spammers and trolls at bay.
Yeah, good point. Lots of things to consider. Thanks for this!
I'll have to read about local laws and if I can get in trouble for what the users do/upload. I have no interest in dealing with legal shit... If I'm safe then I'll have to see how much people charge for storage these days. I don't really want to run it from my house and I don't have a lot of disposable income to run it out in the internet somewhere.
I assume lemmy doesn't clean up images after X days/years? it would be pointless if it does... I'm a datahoarder but paying storage costs to host this stuff doesn't fit in the budget. I guess I have a lot of things to consider. Thanks!
Yeah, Thank you for this.
It sounds like I'll also have to store any images my users upload. I'm all for free speech and being anonymous online so I'll avoid logs and the like but I guess I'll have to read Canadian law to see if I want to risk running an instance or not. I cant afford a lawyer, nor do I want to deal with anything that goes along with that.
When I finally look into it I'll make sure to let you know. Are you going to selfhist yourself or just want to use it if I actually set it up? Maybe you can help me host it. Lol
Would that allow someone to still post/upload on other communities? Honestly haven't looked into this at all. Was going to in a couple weeks when I have time to actually sit down and test
I'd love to self host one for everyone but not allow communities. The idea would be that I federate with everyone no matter what and leave a what the user wants to sub to up to them. No censorship at all.
Not having communities would mean I don't have to worry about what I host and have other instances defederate with me. Plus, I have no interest in being mod, dealing with DCMA,user reports, etc.
For what purpose? Why not a free one? I mean, if the price is right I'll host you one.
I've been considering hosting one myself, this would give me a push in that direction.
I'm not sure if mailbox encrypts their calendar and contacts. I know tuta and Proton do but I self host that stuff anyway so I don't care.
I use to selfhost everything, including email. However, emailing anyone from my domain I was 99% of the time in the spam list if it went though at all. I got fed up and paid someone to do it for me.
My understanding is only tuta to tuta is e2ee (via GPG). However, When you send or receive an external (non-tutanota)email, all they do is encrypt it for your inbox. Obviously its stored unencrypted in gmails servers, if you're talking to someone at gmail, for example.
From what I remember, you can't even use GPG to encrypt an email to someone external, you have to use their service that someone has to click a link, put in a password to view.
As for e2ee on the wire, almost all emails are encrypted, this isn't unique to tuta. It's basically HTTPS but for emails. Only a bad or misconfigured host would be unencrypted/HTTP.
Edit: to answer your question more directly, i believe mailbox.org + GPG encrypted inbox is the exact same thing as tuta. Not exactly E2EE but I get IMAP and I can use Thunderbird and use GPG with external people.
I use to use tuta as my provider but the lack of IMAP support I moved to mailbox.org basically the same thing if you give them your public GPG key for them to encrypt your inbound emails.
