Cool. I am currently using the OVH dyndns option and it is a bit annoying that you have to update each sub-domain individually and can’t just tell OVH to update all subdomains to the same new IP via a wildcard.

Is that something your script could do?

Also it seems like the OVH dyndns API currently only does either IPv4 or IPv6 but not both the same time.

Edit: Ah I see you plan to allow creating sub-domains through it. I guess that would indirectly solve my issue as well.

An the Syncserver still runs on Python2 with multiple known vulnerabilities.

There is a new Syncserver written in Rust, but it seems in continous half finished state or so.

Einfache Lösung: kauf das Gemüse etc. was grade besonders frisch oder im Angebot ist und mach nen Eintopf oder ne Sauce von. Am besten nen größeren Topf damit man noch was einfrieren kann. Fertig.

P.S.: Couscous ist ne praktische Beilage die gerne übersehen wird. Ist wie Instantnudeln, einfach etwas heißes Wasser drauf und fertig.

Some WebDAV server, can be Nextcloud but actually something more lightweight is better.

Also a XMPP server is very nice to have. Even if you don’t have many contacts on it (yet), it works very well has a notification service and can even be extended to act as a Unified Push distributor.

Unless they have an active IT department that is already hosting various websites for them, it is probably better to show them some hosted offer like this: https://masto.host/

As for your questions:

1. Medium difficulty as far as self-hosting goes. Mastodon is a Ruby on Rails app.
2. Really depends on the number of users etc.
3. See no. 2. a few hundred $ or so.
4. As others have mentioned, let them make an account on an existing server first, it can be migrated to your own server later.

Why wouldn’t that be Solarpunk? Because there is an electric vehicles community on this instance? You are jumping to conclusions honestly.

CEO of Nvidia. FU Nvidia!

Not really what you are asking for, but I found the combination of KaraDAV and Filestash to be a great alternative to Nextcloud, and much more stable for basic use.

As for Owncloud… I am skeptical of the company behind them ever since they split off into them and Nextcloud. Probably better to avoid, regardless of what you think of Nextcloud.

Obviously you can’t describe that in detail in a manifesto, but it makes it clear that anything not anti-authoritarian can not be called Solarpunk without completely perverting the idea. That is a form of protection against co-optation of ideas.

I think you need to read the manifesto again more carefully if you don’t see how it was quite intentionally designed to be anti-authoritarian. You simply can’t have a “Solarpunk” authoritarian state, it would be a direct contradiction of the terms. The same is not true about “bright green environmentalism” despite the overall progressive terms that are used to describe the idea.

Any political leader that decides to adopt it.

What I mean is that contrary to Solarpunk there are no built in protections against cooptation by an authoritarian but eco-concious government.

If you need it you will find it, and if you don’t, maybe it is unncessary clutter in your life that would be better to get rid off in a yard sale asap?

I still don’t see where the punk is in that. “Radical” is a politically neutral term that can just as well be applied to a top-down radical reorganisation of society.

It led me to learn that there is a label that more or less matches solarpunk in political theory: Bright Green Environmentalism

Not really, as this concept doesn’t say much about power-structures and is rather a description of Singapur like futuristic eco-authoritarianism.

Solarpunk without the punk (and anarchism) isn’t Solarpunk.

One example she offered was using Starship to launch a satellite. If that satellite was not working, she explained, the satellite could be brought back into Starship’s payload bay to either be repaired or returned to Earth.

So exactly like the Spaceshuttle? I doubt that will be economic in most cases even if Starship launches are significantly cheaper.

I think the more likely outcome will be much cheaper sattelites made with heavier standard components and with more fuel on board to deorbit or stabilize them if something goes wrong.

Is the source-code for this website available somewhere? Might be pretty nice to have for other instances as well.

Great, next should be Italy’s (and Malta’s) illegal cooperation with the Libyan mafia militias.

It’s a bit confusing at first that it comes with a read only web-interface, but once you got a Mastodon app or an frontend like Phanpy set up with it, it works quite well.

Lol, indeed. I must have been still half asleep when posting it.
