@hybridsarcasm@lemmy.world has not replied to me (or anyone according to his profile) after that last bit about making me and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works mods, so I’m going to go ahead and work on holding down the fort. Its a bit of a hectic weekend for me with activities for my kids, so you may see some post activity being restored or other such things in no particular order.
So who am I?
Well, I’m a specialist consultant by day, and an avid self-hoster. Off the top of my head, I host:
- Jellyfin
- An over-complicated *arr stack to suit my particular tastes of media management
- Prometheus+Loki+Grafana for my monitoring stack
- Home Assistant
- Personal website
- Immich
- MagicMirror
- ROMM for that fun emulation on the go
- Kavita (mostly because I keep forgetting to change the url on my wife’s phone for the other OPDS server) & Calibre (the other OPDS)
- Local AI models for testing purposes mostly
- Endurain for my post-Strava life
- Various stuff for utility for SSO, LDAP, databases, MQTT, so on and so forth
Predominantly running on Proxmox as LXCs, with some docker here and there. So pretty much the same as a lot of you, just another *selfhoster (edit: WHOOPS! I a whole word there, now fixed)
Moderation Style
Lets call it “light touch”. I’m pretty sure everyone here is more than capable of handling most things with the appropriate votes - we’ve seen this with the recent thread that resulted in this moderation change. In case you couldn’t also guess from my home instance, I’m a firm believer in people being able to regulate themselves, so as far as I’m concerned that means the rules themselves can be up for discussion as well. As this community is on lemmy.world, of course that means the TOS here must be respected.
There are people on both sides of the keyboards, so please be respectful of others.
The one thing that I just do not tolerate is bigotry.
And finally, feel free to send me a message to address any issues! So lets have some fun with self-hosting.
Edit: Added a direct link to the Lemmy.world TOS for clarity. This community is on Lemmy.world and subject to its terms, as managed by the admin team.
Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).
It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.
Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊
They don’t, I’ve created an LW alt but unfortunately had to open a ticket with the .world admin team as I can’t promote my alt. So its kind of “eyes on” at the moment until that ticket is resolved.
Its nothing too crazy - I have a Mac mini I needed for a specific client need which was gathering dust, and they are really quite efficient in terms of power and llm use.
So ive got OpenWebUI and my SearX on another box, along with some context providers (like grafana MCP I’m currently playing with), and ollama running with a few models available and nothing else on the Mac.
Lately its most common use is checking my docs for tone (personal, company, etc) based on training ive done from my previous work, which has been nice to have. Kind of a pre-check before I publish to wherever.
