I'm hoping to pull in more tech, retrocomputing, BSD stuff etc for my #snac instance.
Please boost this and thank you. ❤️
My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: https://vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃
Good morning, friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse,
it's Wednesday, the day of the Sea. Let’s begin this new day by focusing on the beauty of nature, forgetting for a moment the problems of life and the world.
Because we are alive, now.

A breathtaking sunrise unfolds over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of soft gold, vibrant orange, and delicate pink. The calm sea mirrors the sky’s warmth, signaling the start of a new day. Silhouettes of palm trees stand gently against the morning light, while a quiet, distant structure anchors the scene. As the first light of dawn breaks through, it brings with it a sense of renewal and hope - a reminder that each new day holds the potential for growth, beauty, and the quiet peace that exists in the world despite everything.
My new relay instance in the #Fediverse launched successfully :)
Just added a blog post: As I could see, not everyone was aware of the benefits of using such a service which is especially very important for smaller instances or even single-user instances. So, nothing new in the post - just a recap to summarize the things for newcomers :) #activitypub #mastodon #snac #pleroma #social #socialmedia #community
https://gyptazy.com/hosting-a-new-activitypub-relay-for-the-fediverse-including-mastodon-and-snac/
wow, that was quick - more than 30 instances already connected to my relay in just such a short time :) Let's be federated and help even smaller #instances to distribute their content & posts!
You can find more information at:
https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com
The instance is reachable on IPv4 and IPv6.

Since people new to the Fediverse are joining lately, it's a good occasion to share again my tips for overcoming the empty timeline barrier by seeding and populating your Mastodon feeds in a world with no algorithms:

Hmmm was going to subscribe to https://fedi-
relay.gyptazy.com/ on my #snac server but there is one rule that even though I hardly post about might get my instance removed. It says "No political related content" but occasionally ( very rare ) I will boost a toot that I agree with to do with politics or make a random moan about our government but that too is rare. Mostly it's tech related and life. I totally agree with @gyptazy@gyptazy.com rules, it's just that politics that might catch me out ? So I guess I better go look for other relays like Intahnet.
Listing of other relay servers:
Some of us are thinking of running some #Fediverse services catering to #India. I've run personal and small-group instances before (but never moderated on a larger scale 🫠)
Suggestions welcome, both for what to host and how!

I just started my Fediverse relay service which is a powerful way to support smaller instances, especially single-user setups, by boosting their visibility and enabling them to connect more easily with the wider network.

The instance is reachable on IPv4 and IPv6.

✨ The rebellion will be federated & self-hosted ✨
On Dec 5, 2024 I published this blog post https://elenarossini.com/2024/11/the-rebellion-will-be-federated/ on @ele@elenarossini.com
On Dec 17 I signed up for a #VPS.
On Dec 22 I installed #GoToSocial and began personalizing my little corner of the #Fediverse: @elena
On Jan 14 I installed #Pixelfed on my server: @ele@photos.elenarossini.com
Yesterday I installed #LinkStack on https://elena.social
All this feels really empowering and I wanna help others do the same! 🚀

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌞
On my to do list for today: finalizing / publishing a new article for #TheFutureIsFederated (a look back at 2024, plans for 2025) and... installing something else via #YunoHost: my own #LinkStack (for which I have the perfect URL)!
More on LinkStack here: https://linkstack.org

Wishing you all a lovely day! ✨
I imagine that @PixelFed's servers are getting overwhelmed by traffic these days.
I'm lucky to already have a pixelfed.social account. Still, in order not to add to @dansup's server load, I am taking the plunge:
this morning I'll try to set up my own #Pixelfed instance, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost (Pixelfed is in their list of apps).
I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
Good morning Fedi friends!
All eyes are on #Pixelfed this week, as #Meta censored all mentions and links to it.
Last year I wrote about the superb interoperability between Pixelfed and #Mastodon - it was one of my first articles for #TheFutureIsFederated, which inspired me to try out more #Fediverse projects.
If you have friends who are curious about the Fediverse and @pixelfed you could share this: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-1-mastodon-pixelfed-2/

The people should own the town square https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/ #Mastodon #Fediverse
Are there any Mastodon web apps that support using multiple accounts at the same time _over the same instance_?
TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.
Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.

Just a fun little write-up describing one of my practices on the #fediverse, and why I do it.

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.
✨ New Monday morning routine ✨
– run diagnostics on #YunoHost
– manual backup, save it 2 two external drives + #ProtonDrive
– tweak #GoToSocial settings
– check my VPS's dashboard for resource usage
Gotta say, it's pretty empowering to run your own #Fediverse instance.
Wishing everyone a good day!
P.S.: #NoAdvice needed, I'm aware of #BorgBackup but this setup is perfect for a total Linux n00b like me, plus my VPS already does regular backups 🤗
