Somewhat off topic but I was totally convinced that Funkwhale had died so I ditched my pod and moved to Navidrome, I wasn’t using federation so I wasn’t really the intended audience. I’m glad they are still going though. But personally I’ve had a better experience with Navidrome with Feishin as a player.

But there is a load of really dodge black metal that is much more cryptic, not being blatant but made by Nazis like Deathspell Omega, Mgla, Drudkh and Winterfyllth. I’ve been in the scene a long time and been fooled by some of these.

Two very good points here. The second is the one I’ve been thinking about recently. It’s about considering what format your data is kept in and if you can usably get that out and implement it somewhere else without too much work.

Yea I use a 4GB RPi 4 and it handles several services really well, all running in docker: Grimoire Navidrome Traefik Seafile + Collabora integration Gitea Vaultwarden Radicale

It idles just under 2GB most of the time so it’s doing well.

Same but it was Duke Nukem 3D for us!

I use both Seafile and Syncthing for various things.

I’ve managed to setup seafile ok behind traefik as a reverse proxy. Seafile has a basic web front end and allows you to integrate with Collabora for editing open document files. Its fine to just shut down the docker and copy the database I’ve found for backup. Or you can copy the files themselves, if you don’t care about the change history (which I don’t). I have as script to do this each night. Seafood isn’t too hefty and runs well on an RPi, even the collabora integration does.

Syncthing is a really good piece of software and I use this to share files from my RPi to my phone, but bare in mind by default its send&receive both sides so its not suitable for backups in that state.

Let me know if you want to know more.

The article says that stat about one instance not the entire fediverse…

I recently finally got around to reading Anathem and was blown away, so much detail, so much going on. And from someone who reads alot of philosophy, that aspect felt like it was handled naturally in the book and not infodumped.

They are so off the mark its crazy, the future of this is streaming games services. Yea it’ll be running on windows or linux at the other end and that isn’t what Apple wants but its the future.
