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.

@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman

@design_RG

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.

@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @moonman

@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.

@design_RG

Learning linux int he computer world is a must.. I highly recommend the exercise.

@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @moonman

@freemo

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.

@design_RG

This christmas I'm getting anyone who ever bought me socks for christmas a Linux installation CD :)

@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @moonman

@freemo

Those days the images require a DVD disc, no?

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