@ruud@lemmy.world

Admin of a lot of fediverse servers, among which the .world ones:

  • lemmy.world
  • mastodon.world
  • calckey.world

You can find me on these servers as @ruud

I receive a lot of messages, direct and mentions. I can’t reply to them all. If you have an issue, please e-mail at info@lemmy.world

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. View on remote instance

I run a pixelfed and misskey on the same server, and used to run a mastodon besides that. No issues. (I use docker)

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah somewhere between twitter and facebook clone, more like Mastodon. But open-source and federated, like Lemmy.

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

For moderators surely Mastodon. For admins too..
For users: that's a taste-thing.
I'm not a developer so can't say...

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ahh yes I meant as opposed to Twitter and Facebook. But I worded it badly 😁

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Depends on what sort of invoices. For my invoices for billable hours, I use Kimai

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Too bad fire.fish is also gone…

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

It’s created by @dansup who also created Pixelfed

Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn’t gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I hadn’t either until a few years ago. It’s something worth considering.

I really like Joplin

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Ooh… Silverbullet looks really useful!! Just installed, need to figure out what I can do, looks like a lot of functionality!

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I’m still running Synapse. Could I migrate this to Dendrite or others? Or would I have to just re-install and lose all messages…

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Oh too bad. I run it at h-y-p-e-r.space, so I’ll just continue to use Synapse for now. Don’t want to add a subdomain

Backup / restore gets complicated if you have multiple apps in 1 dB

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, terminology… I mean single instance. And although you can create pg_dumps of separate databases, a true (online) backup of separate databases is difficult. Tools like pgbackrest or barman don’t support it. (I mainly focus on Postgres)

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Cool! I feel a forgejo.world coming!

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar
  • Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. If you have advanced needs, Forgejo has you covered.

Selfhosters wanna host. But many people don’t. (Ergo: lemmy.world, mastodon.world (GitHub anyone?) so maybe people would like forgejo.world And if not, I’ll use it myself! :-)

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I don’t need to be the flagship for everything ;-)

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it’s one of the domains I would love to have but GoDaddy has registered a bunch of them, trying to resell for big $$ which I refuse to do.

ruud OP Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

I do now!

Do you need Mastodon, or can it be something similar? Mastodon does a lot of caching. For my single-user instance I run Akkoma, which is very leight-weight and has all (even more) features Mastodon has.

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

By the way this is Media disk usage for my Mastodon instance, but it's not really small ;-)

I can help. Message me on matrix if you can @ruud:h-y-p-e-r.space

Rsync works fine for most data. (I use borgbackup) For any database data, create a dump using pg_dump or mysqldump or whatever. Then backup the dump and all other volumes but exclude the db volume.

ruud Mod ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Haven’t tried the script but this is awesome work. We need more Lemmy servers!

ruud Mod ,

I run lemmy.world on a VPS at Hetzner. They are cheap and good. Storage: I now (after 11 days) have 2GB of images and 2GB of database.

Just installed Zabbix agent, so data just coming in. Bandwidth usage for Lemmy.world server

Server is performing nicely. NTP (timesyncd) is running. I have no idea how to see federation queues. Please contact me on matrix @ruud:h-y-p-e-r.space if you want to troubleshoot together.

It was an 8 core. But the current server is a 32-core / 64 thread cpu.

Thank you! If you have multiple Sysadmin communities, maybe it’s an idea to close all of them but 1. Just mark them as ‘only moderator can post’ and pin a post telling people to subscribe to the 1 community.

ruud OP ,
@ruud@lemmy.world avatar

Hi, I think donations will be the way also in the future. Anything non voluntary wouldn’t work because people will just move to other servers that are free. And so far I’ve seen there’s more than enough willingness to donate.
