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.

          Can I send my replies back via a UUCP gateway?

          @jamesb@duckduckpigeon.co.uk @sam Not a clue. Maybe. 🤷 😆

            If you’re reading this you have been successfully migrated as a follower to my stupidly underpowered Raspberry Pi hosted instance. Let’s see how it does with nearly 700 followers. 😆

              @justine@snac.smithies.me.uk that boost did not help my load situation. 😆 I may have some work to do for this to be properly stable.

                @justine@snac.smithies.me.uk It’s all fun! So far it is mostly not falling over. It takes a few minutes to get through sending my posts out to all the different servers though.

                    @mmeier@social.mei-home.net @sam Thanks! Feel free, after the initial wobble during transfer of my followers it’s doing ok. 🙂 I’ll write up how I pulled it off over the next few evenings.

                      Vauxhall “Grandland”?

                      Did no one stop and say, “hang on lads, that sounds a bit like a posh Poundland”?

                          @WiteWulf No but the fact that there's a store actually named Poundland will never stop being funny to me in the same way that you lot think fanny pack is hilarious.
                          Oh I'm taking the missus down to Poundland this afternoon for some cheap fun. She is very excited, been asking for it for days. Said she wanted some sausage.

                              It’s Father’s Day and I was kindly woken at 5am by my children, who seem more excited about it than I am. 🥱

                                    Honestly this is going kind of fine so far...that beast of an (overclocked) ARMv6 CPU is just chilling.
