Oh hey I’ve been looking for “obsidian but with version history “ for a bit now.

Or we could finally rip off the bandaid and move to IPv6

iPhone has better accessibility.

I’m sure it is but I have an iphone

It’s already hard enough for self-hosters and small online communities to deal with spam from fleshbags, now we’re being swarmed by clankers. I have a little Mediawiki to document my deranged maladaptive daydreams worldbuilding and conlanging projects, and the only traffic besides me is likely AI crawlers.

I hate this so much. It’s not enough that huge centralized platforms have the network effect on their side, they have to drown our quiet little corners of the web under a whelming flood of soulless automata.

I meant the OP more as a lament about it being hard rather than a quip about it being easy.

Though upon reflection it’s not the voice chat that’s a problem, it’s the fact that Discord is a lot of things, a chatroom, a VOIP service, and so on, and recreating all those things on top bolting on federation (which I don’t see as a desirable feature in this case) is what makes it so hard.

Update: I got Mumble working without a lot of grief. Their mobile client isn’t great though. I might try Stoat.

Federation just complicates things, as it’s just for a myself and a few friends.

I haven’t messed with Ansible in a bit. Do you mean playbook? Or is cookbook some other concept I haven’t learned about yet?

Good bot

Nowadays everyone accepted the name “Discord” but I think it’s a pretty poor choice of branding too.

A terrible name for an app meant to facilitate communication. Always baffled me. But the name is so widely recognized that nobody thinks twice about it.

I always thought Noosphere would make a cool name for a Discord replacement, especially if it incorporates a way to permanently catalog the knowledge accrued by the community, say as a built-in wiki. That might actually make it viable as a support platform.

Why federate if you’re just expecting a small group of friends to use it?

So no mini PC then? I’d have to build a tower I suppose.

Don’t own one yet. But I guess USB?

why would you go with a proprietary OS?

I’m happy with my Unifi network and security setup, especially the single pain of glass. I had assumed the NAS would integrate with that system, but it doesn’t seem to.

No longer true

Does TruNAS support this feature?

Related, will TruNAS work on a mini PC with an attached DAS?

Semi-related: companies advertising “military grade” like it means something other than “made by the lowest bidder”.

I have a QNAP NAS in addition to the unas2 mentioned in the OP. Both have WD red drives. I also run Proxmox on an ancient laptop. How does virtualizing a file server work?

ZFS seems pretty RAM hungry and I don’t believe you can add new drives to an existing volume.

The Transformers wiki is perfect.

As perfect as the Homestar Runner Wiki (possible RIP)?

A fair point I suppose.
