Time for another blog post, about hosting a fediverse instance on my ancient Raspberry Pi. Obviously I had to share it on the fediverse.

    @sam this was fun!
    I spotted a typo: `apk install acme.sh`
    Should be `apk add…`.

    I also wonder if the periodic script actually runs with the .sh suffix? If my memory serves me correctly you may need to drop the .sh suffix or it will now run.

      Thanks. Fixed! And it wasn't initially because I didn't put the shebang at the top of the file, but the .sh seems to not be an issue. It is diligently running at 2am every day.

                        @neil I wonder how many subcultures / subreddits / online communities have silently given up and not bothered making a statement to criticize the government because the risk of being critical carries potential legal/criminal ramifications..

                        Fair play to them explaining it to their community and hopefully they can find a new home elsewhere, perhaps IRC? :P

                                        @neil I know it's been asked/mentioned by others in the replies, but I am really struggling to see what the UK can do to a server hosted outside the UK by a non-UK citizen.

                                        Also, some of us fediverse admins are not terribly worried about what they might try to do in retaliation for not bowing to their hideous laws. Granted, I am the only user of this instance, but if I were to get an influx of lgbtq+++ users on any of my instances, I cannot imagine a situation where I'd be geo-blocking any country - including the UK.

                                        I'm lucky - I run my instances on infrastructure that the UK cannot do anything about: My "ISP" is not one that can be hoodwinked into cutting me off, I'm happy to abstain from travelling to the UK indefinitely if that's the price to pay, and I have no dependencies on that country, whatsoever.

                                        Just sayin'. Probably helpful to no-one.

Getting all the benefits of never having to update because of bootc and how universal blue does things pair with the omarchy setup would be awesome. It would also be nice if bluefin-dx had mise pre installed but that's minor thing. Mind you I'm coming at this from 10+ years of my own home grown Arch setup. Having omarchy x ublue can probably replace all of that on day one

                                                              @jorge so for me is the whole hyperland and setup and how well it's all put together. Mind you I have my own setup that I been carrying around for 10-15 years but it's not as well put together and cohesive as omarchy. I think of omarchy as a starter kit similar to minimal vim/neovim ones, if you come across does, where on one side you have your own custom setup that been put together over years and starter kit that has most of not all of the same functionality of your custom setup but it's put together in a thoughtful way to make it easy to extend to fit your needs. Which means declaring bankruptcy on my own setup, bring my key maps over to the starter kit, and maybe adding one or two things is not that hard.

                                                              Or are you referring to just building a custom ublue image using the GHA temple you build? I have thought of that but haven't had a chance to fully give that a try yet. That said given all the arch assumptions made by omarchy porting it to ublue is not as straightforward. Just looking at the packages used in omarchy it looks like such an image will have to bring over a lot of stuff from the copr because a lot of things are not in silver blue main as far as I can tell.

                                                              All of that said I think ublue x omarchy, or an omarchy homage, would be an irresistible setup for any dev coming to Linux or even to someone like me who has been main Linux for 10+ years

If that has changed then having something like omarchy on top of ublue is more doable then I thought

Also GNOME devs did a lot of hindering with Wayland adoption. It's no wonder that their funding has plummeted cause they mostly seem to do more harm to Linux than good.

However Bluefin is potentially slightly more free of sharp edges (not that there are many…) due to being the flagship Universal Blue distro.

                                                                                                                      The idea of Bluefin and Aurora (and Bazzite, the gaming focused one) is that they take the atomic fedora base and make an opinionated “just works” out of the box experience on top of it. Obviously that kind of customisation is going to be quite different between the different desktops.

                                                                                                                      Bluefin has received the most attention as it is the focus of the overall project, and Aurora is an offshoot with a smaller team. Both are really good though to be honest.

Not heard of that one. I've seen lots of entirely made up music videos though, with both the music and visuals AI generated. Neither bears much scrutiny, of course. And the way VO mispronounces names - often several different ways in one vid, can be unintentionally hilarious.

Huh. It'll be a decision taken with profits in mind, so I wonder if it's something to do with people using AI to produce large quantities of crap videos clogging up YouTube servers, or maybe they know from the stats that people don't watch or engage with AI driven content anywhere near as much as they do human content.

Can any experts help me help out their support here? Intermittently I'm getting connection resets for all inbound TCP traffic but only for IPv6. It breaks HTTPS and SSH traffic, and seemingly comes and goes by itself. Outbound traffic and IPv4 seem unaffected. Does this sound like a routing issue on the provider end or something I've somehow screwed up in the OS?

Honestly it's otherwise very fast and IPv4 is reliable. Support are at least being responsive so maybe they'll be able to figure it out. Since my last reply the 45 minute long stretch of it working has ended and we're back to broken now.

It didn't help. Then I noticed in an outbound traceroute that traffic was going via a random IP...it turns out another customer in the same subnet was sending out IPv6 Router Advertisements! I have now changed my default gateway configuration to ::1 from :: and things seem fixed. I hope the host goes after the offending customer and asks for them to quit it but I suspect not.

It's in London and everything for super low latency! I managed to get installed through some hackery and migrate my blog and instance to it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          One slightly weird thing I had is that inbound traffic on both SSH and HTTPS was returning a "connection reset by peer" for a while. It seems to be working now, but if some IPv6 folks can check https://cablespaghetti.dev loads properly over v6 for them now, it would put my mind at rest.

I’ll just avoid touching it and maybe it’ll keep working. 😆 I think it’s something with routing on the VPS host side.

I learned a lot from getting the Pi to (mostly) work though and now 1GB of RAM feels like a huge luxury. I suppose I'll have to write a blog post on migrating to a VPS now...

We’re getting some decorating done this week in the hope we can put the house on the market some time this month.

The number of bags of stuff that has come out of this house is truly spectacular! I wish I could say we’re finished but the work will continue next week.

I am increasingly fed up of having to restart it when it crashes due to running out of memory. It happens quite often when I post and sometimes when I don’t. I think this is due to having more content on disk than when I first set it up.

I was a bit apprehensive as he doesn’t have the longest attention span. However he quite happily cheered on and high fived runners for about an hour with no complaints. He then went off and ran round the field with a lady he felt needed help. I’m a very proud dad. 😁
