If you can find a secound hand Fujitsu R727, they are great linux tablets! But they are not as common, in my experience.

It has RSS built-in, but since it is a static site generator, it does not support ActivityPub out of the box. But I do think I have seen implementations with some custom JavaScript.

I have been running this for a year on my old HP EliteDesk 800 SFF (G2) with 64GB RAM, and it performes great on the smallest models (up til 8B) only on CPU. I run Ollama and OpenWebUI in containers/LXC in Proxmox. It’s not as smart as ChatGPT, but it can be suprisingly capable for everyday tasks!

OtterWiki looks awesome! The combination of markdown, git and a web interface is powerful.

Nice! It can also connect to a remote instance of ollama 👍

I use Navidrome, it’s a single binary and gives you your own Spotify, kinda. It can be use with many other apps, in addition to the web interface, as it supports the subsonic protocol.

Fedora has been “just working” for me for the last couple of years. It is my go to for older relatives for that very reason.

Nice! Bought it, it is reasonably priced. It works well and is responsive 👍

Cool experiment, but I have a hard time with the color combinations and shadow and embossed effects. It’s hard to beat the default Adwita theme in this regard, it is really well thought trough!

Does it support Podman yet?

I have a couple of these (only the G2 and G3 SFF) and they consume between 6-10w when not under load, and they max out at 35w (or 65w depending on CPU). I run proxmox with 64gb ram and they are surprisingly efficient.

It is a Mastodon username, but I see that it doesn’t resolve correctly.

I have been thinking about this for a while. I want an online community that encourages meet-ups and face-to-face time. No so much twitter-esq, but more event based. Maybe with a feed that shows small announcements, news and reports in a magazine style?

It would be super cool if many towns and cities have their own online meeting place, that can also interact with neighbouring places!

I haven’t look to much into it, but maybe @bonfire@indieweb.social can provide this?

I never notice any update times, as the default in Fedora is to auto-update (I think?). Everything is just always up to date.

Edit: coming from ten years of Arch, this has significantly reduced my time fixing things related to an update 😆

It does share dependencies, but in a different way than a regular package manager. You share runtimes and base apps: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/dependencies.html

It actually works great for slightly more complex stuff to, like converting markdown to HTML etc. Caddys documentation is made using Server Includes for example.

I have done this, but instead of PHP, I have used Server Includes, which is a performant and simple way to add repeating headers and footers etc without extra dependecies. Nginx, Apache and Caddy all supports Server Includes, but with different syntax. I have used Caddys templating language, which I am most comfortable with.

Podman is great, but a lot of confusion arise from the rapid development the last ~year and the fact that different distros have relatively old versions in their repos.

I recommend using the latest Fedora Server and defining your containers as quadlets. Also, on Fedora, yoi can install Cockpit (and cockpit-podman) and get a decent webgui to manage your host and container.

I should just write a blog post about this instead of typing this up on my phone in bed 😆

If it’s a personal server for yourself and maybe some friends and family, I would rather use GoToSocial, as it is much more lightweight and is less complex to set up and maintain.

Nice, support for Android apps is just casually mention almost as a side note 😎
