cablespaghetti.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Ubuntu 25.10 will use an A/B boot approach on Raspberry Pi devices to improve the distro's reliability and help mitigate boot failures - but there is a small drawback for users.

I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
I'd like a solution to self-host services such as Vaultwarden, Immich and Home Assistant at home. I don't want to rely on cloud solutions for this so I'm thinking maybe along the lines of a Raspberry Pi for the Docker apps and a NAS for the backend storage, but I'm really clueless as what to get. I just know that I'd want something relatively simple and easy to maintain.
I'm also a bit of a Linux and Docker noob so I'm looking to get some advice and ideas from the Fedi community!
What would your suggestions be? What does your home lab setup look like?

@stefano @_elena A really decent, performant #OpenSource forum software such as #Flarum, #PhpBB, or #Discourse, is right there. Do any of your 350k subscribers have a #RaspberryPi 5 lying around (wth an NVME drive), and have expertise? Flarum or PhpBB would run performantly on it for a huge number of concurrent users. Where is your #OpenSource spirit, to take things into your own hands?

Not content with this success, I went on to write a pico C++ driver for the lsm6ds3 accelerometer using the pimoroni-i2c library as there did not appear to be any C++ drivers in the wild for this on #rpipico
This along with the touch screen C++ driver I converted from lvgl to the pimoroni-pico graphics will be published in my #presto examples once I have fully implemented the driver and written some simple boilerplate examples.

My LED animations library example is now published, with the residual colour patterns.

I ordered a 2 Raspberry Pi 5.
These will be the first Raspberry Pi 5 I will have. Prior to this, the newest one I had was the Pi 4.
I ordered one 16GB RAM one. And, I ordered one 8GB RAM one.
I also ordered a couple 5A USB-C Power Supply with PD. And, ordered a couple USB-C PD PiSwitch. And also ordered a couple MicroSD Cards with Raspberry Pi OS on it.
I wrote a simple gpioctl wrapper with Python in NetBSD RPi configurations. This wrapper cannot change the pin mode. Please configure manually in /etc/gpio.conf
the wrapper:
