Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through

I'm reading it so I'd say it works!

Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance :)

That's actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it's making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you're running it on?

[–] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 3 points 1 year ago

Sure! It's a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it's not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.
