My backup server is the only one of my servers that is located outside Germany. You know, in case the British come again. Or the data centre of my other servers burns down. Or something like that.
Every night, this server receives a (compressed, incremental) backup of the most important data (content and configuration files) from each of my other servers, which I created with Borg.
There is no obvious way to install Hoarder on an unsupported platform. My servers run OpenBSD and OmniOS. Both of them don't even have any Docker support. (Which is not something I'd absolutely need, to be honest.)
Hoarder runs on Node.js. I will use Lisp (edit: or Rust, but I'm positive I'll beat Lisp's session management some time soon). Node.js is a dependency hell.
Hoarder does not really encourage manual and/or regex-based tagging, it strongly suggests relying on "artificial intelligence". As I am rather disappointed by what "artificial intelligence" is currently able to do, I'd prefer to default to the old approach.
Of course, all of this is just a personal preference.
Federation (which Bluesky also strives to achieve) is not something that you’ll even notice once registered, and the lack of users (and thus content) is a self-fulfilling prophecy, don’t you think?
That’s mostly a Mastodon thing. Part of the reason why Mastodon has a weird reputation is that you are more than encouraged to label your posts there, or there WILL be comments.
Yes (somewhat), just like you can post on Lemmy with Honk, but note that all ActivityPub software, while speaking the same protocol, interacts best with its own kind. Yet.
Honestly, what I use is not what I would recommend. ;-) My own setup follows these directions (TL;DR: OpenBSD, as much OOTB OpenBSD software as possible, and Dovecot.)
Technically, WordPress started as a fork.
