The amount of how much we have been lied to about everything never cease to amaze me.

It is everything and it is always worse than I imagine even though what I imagine is so far out that I have to keep my mouth shut.

@GluedToTheScreen

I am thankful to NAS and all the frens who patiently let me reach my final stage of radicalization. :pepe_chad:

You will never protect NAS as you protect your own nodes and network. Once NAS is gone you are gone, unless you build your own Fediverse nodes and networks.

Do not trust centralized networks such as NAS.

@FourOh-LLC @EvolLove

I keep saying I'm going to roll my own ...

... too lazy, I suppose.

@FourOh-LLC @EvolLove

also, I notice this happening with a few of the folks I KNOW I followed on the old NAS...

... and tried to re-follow here.

Is it a Pleroma thing or what that keeps it in a pending mode?

I've noticed this with a handful of people since moving here.

@GluedToTheScreen @FourOh-LLC @EvolLove it's a bug, i gotta make the release finally
This is not my network, this is the network of a lead developer of https://pkt.cash/

He is the creator of https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns

I think I am the only user here, and I am supporting both his projects.

I have a tax-related Mastodon node on my kane-il.us, a Lemmy and a Streams / Hubzilla on w3pbs.us

Those are invitation-only purpose-built nodes, for my Residential Owner-operated Network (#TheRON).

I have been building my own DNS-based networks for over 20 years.

@FourOh-LLC

cool...
... I looked at Hubzilla several years ago. Seemed capable.

I need to set up my own, as you recommend.

I've only done minor networking, but have always accomplished what I wanted.

I used to pal with a true network guy (VAX/VMS clusters in mission-critical real-time environments) and decided only to learn what was necessary since that hole is extremely deep.

@EvolLove

You want to give YunoHost a chance.

There is a fork of Hubzilla called Streams, and the main difference between the two is that Streams no longer have "directory servers", and most of the plugins are now simplified. It is forked by the original developer of Hubzilla. They both install fine within YunoHost.

I be honest, and I build DNS networks based on decades of experience, and its difficult to justify some of the stuff I do. For example, I never build on the root domain I always use a sub and leave the root undeveloped. The reason is simply there are too many uses for the namespace to cram everything into the root.

But you can start with a $5 Linode, as it does not block ports, provides you with an IP6 blocks when you ask, it has snapshots, and so on.

The only reason not to do it is lack of free time, which is the most valuable currency for hackers and geeks.
Pleroma requires next to no maintenance. The backend runs on a server at my house. The frontend is static html served off a machine at OVH.

I run a fair number of services:
* pkt.cash website
* pkt.chat chat server
* mail.cjdns.fr mail server
* routeserver.cjd.li cjdns route server
* app.pkt.cash dapp with a fairly complex backend server
* https://vinny.cjdns.fr/ptest/ cjdns peer tester
* this site
* A bunch of services for routie.io

I know I'm forgetting some...

I don't have time for anything that requires any significant attention.

@cjd

Can I assume the website and/or chat are Pleroma...

... and those other services are different applications being run on the same server?

@EvolLove @FourOh-LLC

Website: static html using react
Chat: MatterFOSS (fork of Mattermost)
Mailserver: MailCow

I have 2 OVH machines, one is primarily for pkt.chat, the other is kind of a catchall for stuff I run.

Then I have 2 machines at my house, one is in the process of being decommissioned, everything that's on it is being shut down. The other one is hosting virtual machines.

MailCow and Pleroma are both VMs on that machine.
pkt.chatMatterFOSS
The older of the two machines at OVH *should* be decommissioned, it's become quite a mess. It runs the cjdns route server, a dns seeder, and the pkt dashboard (Rust server). It also runs a Matomo instance that is completely unused.

It also hosts the frontend of pkteerium and uses a cjdns reverse VPN to send requests back to the VM which hosts the actual pkteerium server.

@cjd thanks for the insight into your setup, tagging our admin @eriner as he might be interested in the info provided in this thread

@EvolLove @GluedToTheScreen @FourOh-LLC

@cdj is a real pro I am just a hacker, in the ethical sense. I never used anything else but Debian for the practical stuff (since Jesse), but I have skills with nearly all virtualization. For most stuff I build on Proxmox on a box in OVH, but I have VMs on Linode and on other continents for DNS.

I spend my time with OpenSCAD, but I am not a coder by any stretch of imagination. I love designing and building stuff like conveyors and other industrial stuff.
