What's the safest way to migrate this mastodon instance to docker in my homelab? Right now, it's running on the host. I'm thinking about using Linuxserver.io image as it's easier to use with portainer. #mastodon #mastoadmin #selfhosting #homelab

High Memory Usage in Proxmox I have only one vm and I just ran "htop" in it. It's using less than 3 GB RAM. But proxmox shows 11 GB. Why? @selfhosted #selfhosted #vm #proxmox #homelab #selfhosting #foss

I really wish running mastodon using docker was as simple as just copying the compose file in portainer and clicking deploy. #mastodon #docker #compose #mastoadmin

I’ve just moved https://search.buddyverse.net to my very own personal server… tucked right under my bed! 😄 For now, I’m exposing it via Cloudflare Tunnel since I don’t have a static IP yet. This is my first real dive into self-hosting. Everything before this lived on cloud services. Excited to […]

I've got a HP Elitedesk 800 G5 with Core i7 CPU and 32 GB Ram. How do you guys handle load shedding situation? I have a mini ups for the Router and ONU and a 650V one for the mini pc. I don't think it will give me more than 20 minutes backup. Should I gracefully shutdown after 10-15 minutes when […]

I'm considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I'm wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this purpose. I'm particularly looking at the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G5 models. Unfortunately, finding […]

Journalism as an industry, as a discipline, as a career path, needs to burn to the ground and be rebuilt brick by brick. “Objectivity” and “both sides” reporting have always been the faces of colonialism and empire. Grateful to see that some journalists are finally reckoning with this. Tweet […]

@protonprivacy suspended my account as soon as I purchased the unlimited plan and sent an email asking how to change the recovery email as I no longer have access to it. I ended up losing both money and account along with all the data. This is outrageous! #proton #privacy #opensource #foss […]

People allowing language models to run code or call tools is an intrinsically hilarious because you're handing the wheel to a thing that is based around statistical patterns in language - which includes intense and repeated narrative structures, character archetypes, and all manner of overriding […]

On August 25, 2017, with the mentality of wiping out the Rohingya from the world, they [Myanmar Military] committed such inhuman torture on the Rohingya that they committed genocide, intending to wipe out an ethnic group. Burma deprived the Rohingya of education, medical care, and justice for […]

I have never worried about the singularity because I had a single conversation in 2007 with a guy who worked in a chip fab, and learned just the tiniest bit about the physical, mechanical process that goes into actually manufacturing a microprocessor, and how much of it requires direct […]

AI can't think. #ai

For Dhaka’s new elites—including many who seized prime Bihari properties in the city’s most desirable neighborhoods—the 1974 famine was little more than a distraction. People were dying on the streets, in open fields, and at train terminals, but it rarely stirred their humanity. Poor relatives […]

A 12-year-old Bangladeshi girl ran away from home due to her strict parents' reaction after she failed a school subject, only to be trafficked into India by an acquaintance.

When Indian newspapers cite unnamed sources to score points against Bangladesh, rest assured—those sources are often ghosts. In many cases, reporters fabricate quotes themselves and attribute them to vague, multiple sources. Frequently, these quotes are deliberately planted by parties seeking to […]

In Bangladesh, the people we label as “left” are anything but. They’ve drifted so far to the right that they just look left by comparison. Honestly, I’ve yet to see a truly left-wing movement in this country. What we call the “left” is basically surviving on nationalist rhetoric — an ideology […]

Political parties are so thoughtful- they say they love us, and to prove it, they organize rallies right in the middle of working days, block every major road, and trap us in traffic for hours. Nothing says ‘we care’ quite like making sure we suffer just a little every time they want to show […]
