A small thing, but I stopped synching my calendar with Google and now have DAVx5 synched with my (new and free) Nextcloud, and use Etar frontend (it is better than Google Calendar, but I am still tempted to just use Samsung Calendar as long as I still have my 6-years-old Galaxy S10).
I just noticed you are the admin of belgae.social, would you be interested in hosting a Piefed instance? It has a few features that Lemmy is currently missing: https://join.piefed.social/features/
I'm meaning to actually, I like the PieFed devs more. I just don't want to rush the transition as I'm still thinking up the transition strategy. It's just a single-user instance, so would not cause too much impact. But do know it's on my TODO list :D
Nice! Would you be open to have other users there too, or do you prefer to keep it a single-user instance? I'm looking around for smaller instances to use for a change 😄
Lemmy's consuming close to 19GiB of RAM. CPU is less critical, that only occasionally spikes above 10% on 2 cores. Disk size of 60GiB is enough with a regular cleanup.
EDIT: turns out It was actually using ~9.5 GiB, the rest was linux buff/cache which Proxmox reports as used. Moving pict-rs off SLED to postgres and tuning postgres a bit, I was able to bring it down to ~2.6 GiB.
Switching my electronic component choices for PCBs to STM, NXP, Nordic & ublox (these 3 have the best MCUs), Wurth, and Infineon. Then as second choice Rohm, Toshiba, Panasonic, JST.
Sadly, only american companies currently make new AFEs, especially biomedical.
Currently trying to switch from Reddit to Lemmy - and also cut down on scrolling in the process. A smaller amount of users and content is more of a benefit than a drawback in that regard.
Last months I've tranfered my domain to netcup and bought a new one.
Moved dns to desec.io which was working fine, but since I bought a new domain it only supports one, so this week I reactivated my bunnycdn account and moved domains there.
Still a bit pissed that a european company is charging me in usd and I have to pay the conversion and it's taxes on my bank, but oh well.
I don't plan and moving email since I have been using fastmail for years and have been generating a lot of new fresh emails for each account I have or update in other places.

DAVx5 is great!

Most recent ones: moved away from CloudFlare for my tunnels to self-hosted Pangolin. Moved away from a US domain registrar to INWX.

Sadly I'm hitting RAM limits at the moment, so won't be opened up to other users until memory prices come down :)
Blaze@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 191d
Ah, that makes sense! That RAM shortage is really a pain..
determinist@kbin.earth · 1 pts · 191d
what specs are needed to run such an instance?

Thanks for replying. I have only 16GB ram. Plenty of disk space (240GB ssd), CPU is okay. Just the ram's the problem, can't expand it either.
Blaze@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 191d
19 GiB or RAM? Oh wow, that's a lot!
aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 191d
I already switched from BackBlaze (horrible customer support) to Jottacloud.

Got my family on a proton subscription. Drive, vpn, email, calendar. 5 less people using Google
LordDaveTheKind@piefed.social · 5 pts · 191d
Several actually:
Also, general rule for the software is to look for an open source client or for an alternative with no or less trackers implemented.
Alaknár@piefed.social · 1 pts · 191d
Could you elaborate on that?
Also: god, how I wish Joplin added the option of storing notes in just regular old Markdown files.....
LordDaveTheKind@piefed.social · 2 pts · 191d
Sure: Joplin can actually synchronize all the Notes content with any WebDAV destination. And kDrive (as my personal cloud storage) supports WebDAV. There is a help page where they explain all the steps: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/support/faq/1800/synchronize-joplin-notes-via-webdav-with-kdrive.

I started using Lemmy :)
Apart from that, worth mentioning is Niagara Launcher. I've been using it for some time, and just upgraded to Pro and I just love it.
My phone (unfortunately) is still Android, but it doesn't feel that way anymore because my homescreen and searchbar are all optimisable
SirHaxalot@nord.pub · 3 pts · 191d
I've always been self hosting a lot but recently I've started to move some external things
And of course trying to go from Reddit to the Fediverse
Blaze@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 191d
Inspiring!

I closed down all us clouds (google, apple) switched to a NAS and Posteo. Trying out Loops and monnett.
Blaze@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 191d
Interesting, first time I hear about it https://monnett.social/
MolochHorridus@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 191d
I switched from Sync.com to pCloud.com. I’m considering self hosting Nextcloud but need to learn and iron out security stuff first.
alfredon996@feddit.it · 2 pts · 191d
Check out Syncthing
Blaze@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 191d
Seems like pcloud has an offer for Valentine's day, maybe I should get it https://landing.pcloud.com/ValentinesDay2026?channelid=14627&label=Valentines2026-PC

Welcome!

I thought you were talking about cloud compute and I was interested, but then I saw that it's just cloud file storage.
Hiro8811@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 186d
Dunno, lately not much, I've done the switch a while ago and self host. I'm not sure what to switch

I started new e-mail journey with mailo.com, paid plan gives you option to create @mailo.eu which looks nicer than @mailo.com for free plan.
