I ain’t got nothin better to do so might as well run a server forever

you should see how many of these big servers were (and still are) running their instances as ‘root’…

I specifically stopped trying to grow my instance to focus on security and sysadmin back-end administrative infrastructure.

That’s what this Dell PowerEdge I’m posting on is for

nopeee

raises hand

As official as it gets lol.

I’m one of the mods, have a stickied post on this with a link at the end. Just haven’t made a separate official post about it yet.

BeyondCombustion.net has been our wiki, formerly at github.io, for the last few years.

Decided to point that domain at some dell R720xd/R730xd boxes I picked up and setup a whole new entry into the fediverse, along with a number of other things for our users.

Hey @TheDude@sh.itjust.works! I think we may be on the same side of the fence with a lot of this. I just got my server online, but I’m self hosting with a couple old Dell R720xds and R730xds so I’ve got you matched in the hardware department at least :-)

Hopefully in this for the long haul and want to help collaborate with other communities and contribute to the development as much as I’m able.

currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There’s other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.

my server is just me currently… but it’s got 100GB of RAM and 30CPUs so i kicked my value up to 200k but this shit (the fediverse) is still slow as hell/doesn’t sync with most other servers because their specs are so low. People need to stop running them on $4 VPS shit boxes.
