Possibly the wrong place, but personal server questions
  • If I'm a MetaARPA member with SDF I have access to their NC, so I wouldn't have to manage that aspect? How does that work? Or should I still be researching self hosting? The websites aren't business, just family and hobbies and fooling around learning new tips and tricks and playing with shiney objects so that's more or less just my personal playground for now and not a primary concern. Migrating away from walled gardens and controlling my own data is what matters to me right now

  • May I contact you directly to pick your brain because we seem to be of a similar mindset

  • Mastodon has hit 2 million active users today!
  • And our communities will remain strong. The people growing and caring for a free and open Internet will always be here as the minority to large corporations and lowest common denominators of society.

    I believe it was the official mastodon blog that compared Meta advising xmpp the way they'll abuse the fediverse but we will stand strong.

  • The only person interested in sharing a calendar is my mom because of Dr appointments. So I'm not overly concerned with calendar sharing

  • I was primarily considering sdf which is why I posted here.

  • I've heard both of those suggested quite often. I've been researching those a bit, especially from when they split from each other on. I was curious to speak to an actual user about their experiences, or if there are other alternatives

  • Thank you for the advice and for directing my research a bit.

    My immediate family is quite large, and I'm already tech support. Outside of family I stopped doing tech support many years ago when I closed my computer repair business. I'm comfortable assuming the responsibility of their data, and I'd feel better knowing it's in our control and not the mercy of large corporations.

    I'd like to set up a personal cloud, probably through a vps to start. However, I'd also like to move my domains to the same server. It's been well over a decade since I did any server admin style work, so in technology years I'm old as feck.

    What are my best options to look into as far as privacy/security/reliability/price for a vps? What are my best options to allow friends and family to mindlessly backup their data to our private cloud (if such a thing exists)? I'm looking for cross platform support and the ability to host multiple websites.
