Just because it’s not public facing doesn’t mean that it’s not an issue. It might be less of an issue, but it is still a massive vulnerability.
All it takes is one misconfiguration or other vulnerable system to use this as a jumping off point to burrow into other systems. Especially if this system has elevated access to sensitive locations within your network.
Your best bet is going to be a 4U chassis. You can get 2U chassis with consumer PSUs, but they are going to be more expensive and very limited in terms of parts that will work. You can easily find 4U chassis that support regular ATX internals with proper mounting holes for the PSU and mobo standoffs.
There are some small SuperMicro servers that use Xeon-D (I think? Very low power Xeons that are passively cooled), but you’re pretty vendor locked in with those.
Do not use external drives for this. TrueNAS doesn’t support it, and you’ll be limiting your speeds to that of the USB bus, which is not nearly as fast. Pointless going SSDs if you are using external drives.
… how the hell have I never heard of this?
I’m pretty sure it is
I’m on Kubernetes, but it’d be the same via Docker - a volume mount (iirc at the same place it stores local data if you don’t use S3, should be in the docs)
My instance has a couple users currently lol
Yes, I am significantly more active here than I was on Reddit (at least recently, my decline on posting/commenting on Reddit started a few years ago).
I use Cloudflare for TLDs they support, and Namecheap for everything else. Though, I use Cloudflare’s DNS services for all domains.
Oooofff yeah… I don’t really want to spend $44/month on my lab lol. It does seem pretty good though.
The other point is, how do you know which instances to go after to delete any content anyways? I think there is a way to see a list of federated servers, but there’s no way to know which has your data.
In theory you could send a takedown request to each of them, but that doesn’t seem helpful
Reddit as a whole appears to be down right now lol
Right, is that starting at like 12 EST or PST?
Ah, that’s based off the AMA he “did”. So nothing newer than that?
The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.
Link? That’s not good news :/
Did he get caught editing comments again? And the shadowbanning?
I don’t think I’ll go back except for niche content/communities I don’t expect to see here for a while.
Pretty much! There isn’t currently a way to migrate accounts though, so keep that in mind.
Might not be a feature you need now, but it is a nice-to-have from Mastodon that I’d like to see available everywhere.
Trying my best! I’m trying to decide if I want to open my instance up to more users or not as well.
Desktop: Windows XP
Linux: Probably Raspbian on a Pi 2 b
Tech has come a long way since then lol
