What is the Beehaw.org devs country of origin?

It’s all about the money, baby.

I like the Fediverse b/c its more connected than our old forums of yesteryear, but without big tech breathing down out necks…

You know whats funny… while I have Apollo installed - I always used Reddit’s main app. :P LULZ - but I fully support them keeping their API open, as it has been for YEARS. I think they’re fully out of line.

LOL ; thank gosh I haven’t seen that, yet… I hope LemmyNet continues to be developed and takes advantage of Reddit’s ship jumpers.

Thats a good point - jeez. Yea, I don’t want to miss Beehaw; I don’t want to miss anyone… thanks for the tip.

Well, maybe I can help with a different reply. :P (I didn’t know what service you wanted to run on the hardware…)

I ran a RPi (8GB) running BOTH openmediavault (NAS) and PLEX and it chugged along for years of service. I do think your 2GB model will host jellyfin just fine (with NO transcoding, of course) - but you might be able to run a couple more services on the i5… heck, spin up both and see if you notice any big differences between the two.

Let us know where you land after you choose!

OK; understood and FULLY agree with your registration vs. others that can be gamed by a script kiddy. That question, and response, was part of the reason I chose Beehaw, too - I get it, thanks.

I get it that hiring new moderators would take some work; and I wouldn’t suggest or support just letting anyone doso - like ME… I think I’m too new to be ‘trusted’ to doso - but it seems like you have many members of the Beehaw community that might want to help, and fit.

Thanks - I’ll check the list of LemmyNet sites and pick the largest one - I suppose lemmy.world is the ‘WHQ’ and might best fit what I’m wanting… I prefer Beehaw, but since I’m new the LemmyNet I want to see ALL of whats going on - I want to see the influx of Reddit users… I want to see where Lemmy lacks and watch it as it continues to be developed.

I respect ya’ll choice to defederate, I personally think you should just ask for the community to help w/ your work; regardless of how you try to slow LemmyNet down, when its more successful your jobs are going to grow exponentially. I’d prefer if you didn’t do this; and think you’d be in a better position if you simply deal with LemmyNets growth…

Thanks for the quick reply, and I aren’t going anywhere - if welcome - but I’ll find a fully-federated LemmyNet to bridge the gap. :P

Oh God, no. :P I wouldn’t…

Ask for help; community.

Hmmm; I am new to LemmyNet AND Beehaw.org; but have been falling in love with the platforms. However, I do want to see ‘all’ of LemmyNet.

What is the lemmyworld 'open registration policy? I ask because all I needed to supply to register HERE is a username/password. ??? Isn’t that open registration?

Second, why not allow more moderators - please don’t feel like you have to go over old stuff… I’m going to read thru some of Beehaw.org’s PAST posts that I’m sure talk about this issue - but it seems like theres a great Beehaw.org community - if yer having issue w/ moderation, hire moderators; I bet the ‘cost’ is pretty cheap.

Last; what LemmyNet community should one join if they WANT to see the entire LemmyNet? I came aboard Beehaw.org BECAUSE I agreed w/ most of what the site stands for; but since I’m really getting into Lemmy I think I want to be where ‘everything’ is - good and bad.

Thanks for the explanation - even if confusing for a new user.

So… I’m a total RPi guy, but you’re kinda considering two machines that are completely different. While the i5 is only a 6th gen, I think it would be well more equipped to host services that need to remain up.

If you’re just wanting to play around or build some project where size is crucial, I guess I could see going for the RPi - many applications won’t NEED more than 2GB of RAM, but I think a RPi 4 w/ 8GB RAM would be much more comparable to the core i5 you’re describing.

I’d probably pick the i5…

What are you wanting to build/host/run?

Never ever gonna get it - my looovvin, no yer never gonna get it.

I think its broken… or crumbling from the 10s of us trying to load page .P

Ahh; these settings are interesting… I turned on ‘block common exploits’, but HTTP/2 support might be smart, too… yer custom location stuff is above my head, but you’ve got me sniffing a bit now. :P

Ok; I’ll take a peek… but I’m really feeling the LemmyNet vibe. That being said, I haven’t used friendica so I’ll drop by and have a l00k.

Alright, I wanted to come back now that my setup is complete… special thanks to those of you who suggested nginx-proxy-manager - its very nicely put together and really makes reverse proxies a breeze…

Long story short, I just created a brand new VM… started with the proxy manager and built on top of that. Next up was my static Hugo website; it was too easy to point change Apache2’s ports.conf to 8097 instead of 80, and use nginx-proxy-manager for the SSL certs… that one was basically plug and play.

The Bitwarden bit was a bit more involved, but not too bad… at first I just redirected traffic to the original (other machine) Bitwarden VM - but no one wants an extra VM to backup and support… so I went with a fork Docker of bitwarden_rs/vaultmaster - it comes w/ e-mail setup in the container, so one less thing to worry about… I had to swap around some docker-compose.yml ports and just point nginx-proxy-manager at it… this time, tho, I used the SSL certs from the docker; I didn’t wanna dig in and remove what they already had running.

In the middle I was still fighting with myself and not taking ya’lls good suggestions - I tried to go the Cloudflared route; which is a cool service… but you can’t tunnel root domains unless you’re a paid user. Cloudflared tunnels would be great for exposing the Plex, TrueNAS, etc’s of the world… but I didn’t NEED/want subnets.

Thanks to the Beehaw community… TechHeart.life is up and running. :P (Don’t worry, the Bitwarden is on a private domain. Phhhbbbbtttt.)

They cut last admins regulations back on week 1.

So do I; we should be allowing both fossil and green.

Same.

Yes.

Everyone here is awesome for ALL the replies. :P Thank you!!

I decided to try a Cloudflared tunnel, but that didn’t work out because I can’t get the main domain1.com domain to go thru the tunnel… only ‘apps’, like blog.domain1.com. :P

And, I’m still ironing out how to pass nginx to another local IP on my network; I just haven’t gotten it to click yet. All the info needed is right here - I promise to come back when I iron out the setup and post how I managed to do it…

I can figure out how to pass nginx [or apache2, for that matter] to another PORT on the same local IP - I think I have both domains listening on ports 80/443 - and I’ll have to change that in order to route the data correctly… let alone getting out to another local IP.

Again appreciate all the info - sometimes I just have to learn a bit more since I have all the documents right here. :P

So… I’m from Texas [living in OR…] and an entire industry was cut in half because of this admins cutback in oil - while some of this admins work might have saved you money and allowed you to build your personal infrastructure in a direction you agree with, the people of Midland and Odessa Texas lost 50% overnight.

And, all the workers who flocked and prospered are gone with no oil jobs to go back to.
