As someone that uses FreeBSD as its main server, it's kinda the other way around haha

Google Photos Alternative (lemmy.brennoflavio.com.br)
 

What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I'm using Nextcloud but I'm thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

Today's web is the opposite of what early Internet utopians had in mind. Now the situation is somewhat similar to climate change: even committed activists can no longer turn the tide for the better. in c/[email protected]

What do you use as a Google Photos replacement?

Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times in c/[email protected]

To be honest, no. I run in a Truenas Jail, and its stable for me. Just a bit slow for big files sometimes.

How does federation actually work? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It uses activity pub, a protocol that allows servers to share content. So when you post on an instance, it became available for other instances to consume your content.

About slowness, it can be that your instance it being rate limited, or it is not powerful enough to process all its users. You can try another instance.

Activity pub documentation: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Could someone explain how to set up a lemmy instance with ansible for an absolute beginner in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I host it in a Truenas BSD Jail, and the process was as straightforward as compiling and running any other Rust / Postgres project. Which error did you get?

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Another option is SearXNG. It's meta search engine, which means that it aggregates other search engines like Google and Bing but without tracking or logging, because your searches are proxied using a public instance, that will mix your search with the ones from other people.

And about default search engine, don't know what you're talking about, both chrome and Firefox allows this, in mobile and desktop.

Email server hosting (lemmy.brennoflavio.com.br)
 

I'm exploring some options to see if it's viable to self host my email account. Currently I have:

  • A home server that I can host the entire email stack but I cannot open the SMTP port there
  • An AWS account where I can create a VM with SMTP ports open to the internet and reverse DNS support, also I have a domain and AWS SES configured and approved to send emails

Ideally I would want to send and receive from my home server, but that is not possible, so I'm exploring some alternatives:

For receiving emails:

  • Cheap VM with postfix and my home server with dovecot, essentially forwarding all emails to my home server where I want them to be. I don't know if this setup works tho.

  • Keep everything in a VM, with the downside that I'll need to do extra work there as it will have all my data. If possible I don't want to go that route.

For sending emails:

  • Sending from the same VM receiving emails, and have everything managed

  • Use AWS SES to send emails in my behalf

Any input or opinion is appreciated. I'm currently exploring options, I haven't made any decisions, so if you have a better alternative feel fee to share.

Thanks!
