Meet #Starling, a lightweight #ActivityPub server for the #Fediverse, built with PHP and SQLite.
Run your own decentralized social platform on shared hosting or a tiny VPS WITHOUT Redis, PostgreSQL, or complex infrastructure.
What it makes so special to me? It looks awesome, comes with a great admin web interface and does not require a VPS instance where it can also be operated on a cheap shared hosting systems. By the given requirements, it also easily runs on a #RaspberryPI and all kind of systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Illumos and more!
This all makes it perfect to everyone and even beginners to run their own instance. With relay support (e.g., fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) it even can consume and post content over non-directly connected instances in the #fediworld!
Kudos to the author of Starling: @npub1z7e…tdzu

I hope this doesn't bother you at all...
Let's move all of our internal code, pipelines, secrets and tokens for external systems to someone. It's free and everyone does - it must be awesome. Welcome to 2026!

AI assisted pen testing, coding and arising secvulns. Are we humans still good enough?
the last weeks we saw more and more security issues coming up. Let's talk!
Sorry, a pretty long blog post about this...

#PegaProx just got released in v0.9.8 which comes with a built-in #Prometheus exporter. Guess what? Yep! It was time to create and ship the related #Grafana dashboard. All metrics belong to you…

Selbiges hier, allerdings erst seit PVE6. Dies brachte mich dann auch dazu #ProxPatch (opensource) zu erstellen. Mehr auf ProxPatch.de oder https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxPatch

things changed a lot during my time in the Fediverse - but YOU were the reasons by providing BirdUI for Mastodon to give Mastodon a try and to stay in the Fediverse. Without it, I’d have dropped in the early times… thanks a lot for creating and also for still maintaining it!

"Just" 8 years :) My first NVMe are already starting to report the first issues after just 2 years (and no, they're not "noname" ones).
Btw, was it a consumer SSD?

nice, almost the current BoxyBSD way for PVE nodes :)

as always, highly depends on your personal needs. I'm a huge Proxmox fan, but there're of course several different cool solutions. Next to #Proxmox, I also often use #incus [0] in personal labs but I'm also a huge fan of #XCPng with #Orechstra. #SuseHarvester 's [2] approach is also a great solution (similar to #Platform9) if you want to go into the modern world (in the end, they're also using KVM). If it's just single node, I really would also consider #bhyve on #FreeBSD (maybe even via #ClonOS / #cbsd).
