I would LOVE that, but didn't think you would ever consider it.

Would be my choice for a small or personal instance of my own. Superior in MANY Freaking ways.

@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman We had a chat here yesterday, and the poster is running a Single user instance, on mastodon software.

Four cores in a vM dedicated to this beast. Argh!

It seems to be a ball of Spaghetti, from my un-educated expectator, User view. He posted Stats and it showed quite a bit of resource use, for that single user.

Some people run Pleroma on a Raspberry Pi, although I would rather use an older PC box.

@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman Interesting, I just visited yor front door. 😃

I would think an older machine or laptop is less grief too.

@design_RG @realcaseyrollins @freemo @moonman it's mainly because I'm getting an assload of DB errors and I suspect it's because of slow storage.

@benis

someday I should try and get it running, got some spare older laptops which would work well. Just should start with the linux part first, then progress to Pleroma after.

If you need help let me know. I could probably set that up in no time since I know my way around linux pretty well and web servers in general.

@freemo

Thank you! For you it would be easy, yes, as you already are comfortable in both the OS and with similar software, mastodon.

Might be a good chance to see how real the comments I heard about the Pleroma installation guides being friendly are. I have spare hardware, an empty new SSD, and it's just a question of deciding to jump into this for fun some week.

But it would start with a linux learning curve, the underlining foundation to Pleroma. WE will see - I have been thinking of starting some writing again, that would be nice.

I downloaded and installed it various times. First time as an all nighter, dial-up session, for the 1.44 MB disk images. 😃

Later CDs, what a difference. Bought my son Mandrake 7 boxed as a gift, and he loved it, works on linux everyday, he's Comp Sci grad. Good choice of gift, I will say. 😉

But I always feel unproductive, noobyish and missing all the tools I have on hand in Windows, so it soon gets dropped. Would need a spare system just for learning and leaving my work machine intact.

@freemo

Those days the images require a DVD disc, no?

Which version would you suggest? (not Arch Linux, please)
