What process do you use to sign your binaries?

Lazygit. Nice TUI for git.

I have 4 spinny disks in my NAS. The tile the server is sitting on makes more noise than the drives. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

I liked having them all in the same file - easier to keep everything in sync. I also had “dependency” links to keep things starting in order.

I used to do this when on Windows too: C was for the OS and apps, D was for user data. The same principle here - separating OS from data is a game changer - and even easier on Linux I think. Makes it so easy to wipe a partition and try something new.

Nice try, FBI.

They claim to (and some aren’t horrific), but they don’t work as well. So far, nothing beats Mona and Mastodon - hands down.

I ran a Pleroma instance for a while. I gave up because the application support wasn’t great. Now I run a mastodon instance - and the app support is much better. The resource usage is a non-issue.

I think OP made an error in stating you had to be 18. The oldest living person ever was 122 (as indicated by Blamemeta). As long as you are allowed a few pre-18 births, you can get to 7 generations). At 15 years old you can get to 8 generations.

I run my own Mastodon instance. My wife uses it too. It is open to my family, but none have moved this way yet - more of a “not using mastodon” than “not your mastodon”. Easy to link to other instances. I use a docker based instance of mastodon with the db and nginx running on an Azure VM running Ubuntu. Easy to patch, and update. I spent days getting it running right (learning, tearing down, rinse, repeat) but now it is a few minutes a month maintaining. Let me know if you have any questions.
