#MastoAdmins I’m looking for a Mastodon fork or other ActivityPub-capable piece of software that is a little easier for a single ADHD sysadmin to maintain. Low system resource utilization is a plus, but low manual maintenance requirements and sensible defaults are even better.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
@yestergearpc I want to set up an instance of *something* (recognizing that it doesn’t need to be Mastodon to interact with ActivityPub) for my Tech Ambrosia brand.
But I might leave it alone for weeks at a time as it slides into and out of my object permanence (yay, ADHD) so I need it to not fall over on me, or at least have good alerting options to let me know if fall-over is imminent
@shyra That's fair. I'm in the "Wait until something breaks, then I'll notice eventually, and fix it" camp lol. I did notice it uses a lot more storage than I had expected, so I migrated to an Amazon S3 bucket for media, but that's been my only "maintenance" so far and I just happened to randomly notice my SSD was almost full when I was seeing how much bandwidth I had been using.
@yestergearpc I’ve heard horror stories of runaway daemons and disks filling up without warnings.
I haven’t built out any infrastructure other than a small test environment, but it’s more complicated than I was expecting and that caught me off guard
