There's a new independent #HomeLab #forum which needs help getting going. If you'd like to be early, maybe describe yourself or your home lab, or get help, come and see:

https://forum.homelabparty.de/

You'll already find info about setups involving:
- #miniPC and #RaspberryPi
- #Proxmox and #DockerCompose
- #Pangolin and Newt / #Tailscale for remote access
- #Fedi services inc #Mastodon & #GotoSocial

Please come and add to this list. I'm just a member who's been looking for a forum.

Post your #NeverSlop tech stack!

I'm thinking...

• OS: #NetBSD, #Illumos, #Haiku, #RedoxOS or #9front
• Editor: #ed, #nvi, or #VimClassic
• eBooks: #clbre??? (Doesn't seem to have any downloads yet); #arcalibre?
• Social: (egad, #Mastodon is already sloppified?!?) #GoToSocial, #snac2, hopefully #LittleFedi
• Audio editing: #Tenacity
• Browser: #KonformBrowser
• Image editing: libvips
• Data/file encryption: #LibreSSL, ccrypt
• Email: #aerc, #clawsMail

(I haven't tried all of these yet)

I like Mastodon, I really do. But it has so, so many dependencies, and updating it on illumos or OpenBSD is getting really difficult, release after release.

Some dependencies are primarily distributed as binaries, or only build on Linux and macOS. It's not Mastodon's fault, but it depends on them.

That’s why, in my opinion, solutions like snac, GoToSocial, or littleFedi have a reason to exist: all of this is much, much easier...
