I’m Sarah. I’m a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can’t do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

51·8 months ago@Joker Got this feeling of Deja vu. Wasn’t the whole “bit torrent makes everyone a provider” thing done to death years ago?
@Joker Do we need to start running our own DNS servers?
@Coskii @True “home taping is killing music”. They’ve been on the same short sighted, cutting their nose off to spite their face, thing for decades.
Every study shows that piracy increases demand for “legitimate” consumption too, but they will literally drive themselves into bankruptcy rather than have one single pirated copy in existence. Muppets.
@taladar In the old days we called that “having an IT department”. By self hosting, I mean I’m a home user literally hosting services from my living room.
@Sanyanov Self hosting the server seems to me like it could almost be a misfeature: it relies on the server being accessible. In these days of CGNAT, there are a lot of people who would have to buy a VPS just to do that.
@clmbmb @brownmustardminion Looks like some sort of Tailscale clone.

@aniki As I said, I did the comparisons fully expecting to get a NUC. The Mac was cheaper at the performance point.
As for US prices, not especially relevant to me. Import taxes are a thing.
@Skwiggs Few months. I was using an old laptop with Debian before but Friendica was cooking it, literally.
The M2 Mini doesn’t break a sweat. It just takes the load and gets on with it.
@ninjan friendica can get quite heavyweight.
@aniki because it was the cheapest machine available for the performance I wanted in a useful form factor.
@deleted I couldn’t find one with equivalent performance to the M2 for less money.
I am not purchasing in dollars.
@TCB13 I was surprised as well.
@BornDeranged I’m running everything in containers. Not got anything which cares which architecture the server is. Data is data.
@Skunk Nice. I’m happy with the M2 running MacOS and just spinning up Linux VMs in UTM as needed. It seems to handle them without breaking a sweat and, for self hosted stuff, having the VM bridged to a VLAN tagged interface gives me that extra reassurance without having to have the whole machine on that interface.
If the baddies compromise the Friendica server, I can just Remote Desktop into the Mac and nuke the VM. Bye bye.
