The brief downtime everyday is because of automated daily backup of proxmox vm. Our router can't handle more than 100 Mbps. We're kind of short on money as it's end of month. We'll build our own gigabit router using a HP Elitedesk Mini or Dell Optiplex Micro when things are back to normal.

The Speakeasy's blocklist is now published. Nothing surprising, but... if you are a new instance needing a hand it might be a good place to start?
We're not really sure how or whether to automate updates but if that's possible and not a time sink, we might.
Also note that it parallels our rules, so be sure you're aligned before you import!

Currently using my COVID to verify the validity of stuffs on various blocklists we initially used (and the stuff we added later)
Of the 200+ entries so far skimmed:
111 = valid blocks for Speakeasy rule violations.
25 = no longer resolve
18 = no immediate reason or not an Instance (more investigation required)
1 = disagree with inclusion
We're going to post our curated list after I finish. Yes, yes, w/e. Another blocklist. But if you like how we investigate / decide and you're a small instance, it might be useful?
We've added a dedicated gigabit nic to our Buddyverse VM. Expect no more downtime due to hardware hang.

We are sorry about the brief downtime. The server lost internet access due to a Hardware Hang issue.

0000:00:1f.6 eno1: NIC Link is Down
We will get a USD Ethernet Adapter to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Exposed all these through a Pangolin Tunnel on a $5 Linode VPS in Singapore. Using S3 for offsite backups. Next up, a Mastodon instance at social.buddyverse.net! Not sure what to do with the main domain yet, maybe just a page linking all services.

I finally got buddyverse.net rolling from my homelab. Dropped $650 on some sweet refurbished HP EliteDesk and Dell OptiPlex mini PCs. Got two Proxmox servers up, planning a third for OPNSense firewall soon. Here's what's live:
1. Lemmy: https://lemmy.buddyverse.net
2. SearXNG: https://search.buddyverse.net
3. Pastebin: https://paste.buddyverse.net

Hey Fediverse admins,
Are you overwhelmed by all the nasty servers you need to block? It is a lot easier to stay safe if you import ready-made blocklists, more info here:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/importing-ready-made-server-blocklists-on-mastodon
Addressing common concerns:
- It's not just one list, it's many different lists, pick the list(s) you prefer
- Blocklists are based on consensus, not individual whims
- The blocklist import process automatically flags servers with existing connections, you decide whether to block
Here it is, my new, self-hosted home in the #Fediverse running on #GoToSocial! This is really exciting stuff, now I’m truly living the Fedi spirit by supporting decentralization. If you're reading this and don't mind, I'd greatly appreciate a boost of this post to help my tiny new instance discover more servers. Thanks! #NewFedi #FediAdmin #Selfhosting
