I had a cheeky comment prepared for today, saying that you shouldn't rely on Cloudflare if you can afford it, and that you don't truly self-host when you use it, but I could not post it because one of the services I don't self-host —my Mastodon instance— depends on #Cloudflare, too. 😅

Hey folks, I'm considering to #selfhost my mastodon again, only I'm looking at #GoToSocial because it's soooo lightweight.
Is anyone using it full time of their instance? How does it feel admin/maintenance wise?

#Fediverse

Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)

My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.

Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Doing some house keeping today, and moving my mail service again... this time however I am taking the time to move my archives offline. This way moving mail providers will not have to be as hard in the future. Major call out to @thunderbird for making this so easy

So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.

Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.

In case anyone is wondering about how to "update" a valid certificate from #letsencrypt that for some reason #prosody states is already expired, just run:

prosodyctl --root cert import /etc/letsencrypt/live

Assuming you have a valid certificate in place already configured for your domain. Saved me some headache!

I can't wait to use this, and I definitely will use it.

But, have you or @mozilla ever thought about turning Sync into an open protocol so people can #selfhost it? Just a thought! Would be cool...
