So really, I just need to host my own instance to see votes. Nice.
It just never ends. I’m so happy I’ve moved to Debian.
What flavour?
The real LPT is in the comments.
You could really mess with people and use admin@ctrlaltelite.xyz but not have it as the admin account. hah. You host it at home or out “in the cloud”? Curious what others do.
I have a couple VPSes for my Tailscale exit nodes and one as an ingress/proxy for my selfhosted stuff at home. They’re all super cheap and have unmetered* network connections. Kubernetes on some PIs and Lenovo tinys support all my services at home.
If you are going to host an instance open to public registrations you need moderation. Even if it’s just to keep the spammers and trolls at bay.
Yeah, good point. Lots of things to consider. Thanks for this!
I assume lemmy doesn’t clean up images after X days/years? it would be pointless if it does… I’m a datahoarder but paying storage costs to host this stuff doesn’t fit in the budget. I guess I have a lot of things to consider. Thanks!
Yeah, Thank you for this.
It sounds like I’ll also have to store any images my users upload. I’m all for free speech and being anonymous online so I’ll avoid logs and the like but I guess I’ll have to read Canadian law to see if I want to risk running an instance or not. I cant afford a lawyer, nor do I want to deal with anything that goes along with that.
Would that allow someone to still post/upload on other communities? Honestly haven’t looked into this at all. Was going to in a couple weeks when I have time to actually sit down and test
I’d love to self host one for everyone but not allow communities. The idea would be that I federate with everyone no matter what and leave a what the user wants to sub to up to them. No censorship at all.
Not having communities would mean I don’t have to worry about what I host and have other instances defederate with me. Plus, I have no interest in being mod, dealing with DCMA,user reports, etc.
For what purpose? Why not a free one? I mean, if the price is right I’ll host you one.
I’ve been considering hosting one myself, this would give me a push in that direction.
I’m not sure if mailbox encrypts their calendar and contacts. I know tuta and Proton do but I self host that stuff anyway so I don’t care.
I use to selfhost everything, including email. However, emailing anyone from my domain I was 99% of the time in the spam list if it went though at all. I got fed up and paid someone to do it for me.
My understanding is only tuta to tuta is e2ee (via GPG). However, When you send or receive an external (non-tutanota)email, all they do is encrypt it for your inbox. Obviously its stored unencrypted in gmails servers, if you’re talking to someone at gmail, for example.
From what I remember, you can’t even use GPG to encrypt an email to someone external, you have to use their service that someone has to click a link, put in a password to view.
As for e2ee on the wire, almost all emails are encrypted, this isn’t unique to tuta. It’s basically HTTPS but for emails. Only a bad or misconfigured host would be unencrypted/HTTP.
Edit: to answer your question more directly, i believe mailbox.org + GPG encrypted inbox is the exact same thing as tuta. Not exactly E2EE but I get IMAP and I can use Thunderbird and use GPG with external people.
I use to use tuta as my provider but the lack of IMAP support I moved to mailbox.org basically the same thing if you give them your public GPG key for them to encrypt your inbound emails.
I deployed it for my last employer on our linux environment. My buddies who still work there said Linux was fine while they had to help the windows Admins fix their hosts.
