But in general for some quick adhoc file upload classic FTP is still not bad.

Samba on a Linux user meeting? lol 😅

Debian is a good base for a server, but most people don’t bother with a fancy desktop on their server 😅

The machine is probably going to be a bit expensive to run 24/7 due to the old CPU and probably unecessary GPU, but it depends on the electricity prices where you live.

Start with some basic things you actually want to use. It’s not hard and you can figure out most things with some persistence and web searches.

Also included: XMPP account on the same address, but it would be nice if they would keep their Ejabberd a bit more up to date.

What you need to be aware off is that the LibreOffice based options run a full headless LibreOffice client on the server for each connecting user and stream the view as tiles to the webclients. If you mostly use low power devices to access your office files remotely this can be great as it offloads the processing to the server. But I think in most home server or VPS settings the server speed is the more limiting factor.

OnlyOffice on the other hand runs entirely in your browser and thus puts little extra strain on the server.

Many people like cheap refurbished thinclients, and Intel CPUs 6th gen or newer are not so bad on power consumption.

A RasberryPi has the advantage that you will find a lot of easy to follow guides and if you get a NVMe hat for it to have fast database storage then Nextcloud should be relatively happy (it is a bit bloated these days).

Well, lets see when that actually happens. I am doubtful.

I guess they are being creative on marketing with having implemented a small part of the matrix protocol via their appservice bridge.

The disadvantage is that it is just a bridge like many others and totally dependent on Synapse, which is a resource hog and open-core.

actually implemented the matrix protocol, so it’s interoperable with matrix.

They originally planned this, but realized along the way that the Matrix specs are overly complicated and change at the wim of Element, so they ended up only supporting a link to Synapse via the appservice system, which isn’t great as it means you have to run both Rocketchat and Synapse on the same server for it to work.

It’s random 🤷

I switched to https://github.com/kd2org/karadav from Nextcloud as I can continue using the Nextcloud apps and other WebDAV integrations. Together with https://www.filestash.app/ it makes for a quite nice and lightweight Nextcloud alternative.

XMPP is great. Movim.eu is a nice webclient for it that also does macro-blogging.

Akkoma serves me well for the micro-blogging part of the Fediverse.

GoToSocial is just another Fediverse software that works with multiple users like any other. The difference is really only that it is tuned more towards smaller instances and as a result is easier to set up and maintain. It also assumes most people will be using a mobile app with it anyways and thus the built in webclient is very bare bones. It does work fine with external webclients like Phanpy though.

I am aware of that and explicitly didn’t write ActivityPub c2s api 🙄

Quite interesting that this functions as an independent AP server instead of using the c2s api like most other bots 👍

You can still manually query accounts, yes. But that is not what I said.

This only applies to old posts. New post will not be send to lemmy.ml anymore.

I agree on the global forum aspect of Twitter being the reason it was exciting for public figures and journalists, but you get waaay more genuine interactions from normal (techy) people on Mastodon. It may feel a bit dead when you start out because there is no algorithm to feed you content, but after a while of using it you get a lot of interesting opinions and feedback on things you post.

Maybe, but I ended up with Woodpecker for now.
