I found this really lovely (imo) queer punk cover of Jolene today, that I thought would be nice to share.

A slightly less technical post - these are some things I've learned from having a HomeLab for over a decade.

What's everyone using for status monitoring and/or status pages either in their lab or at work?

I setup a status page for my fediverse instances using Uptime Robot (have an existing subscription), and the features are kinda lacking. I feel like they haven't really updated anything in the last 5 years which is unfortunate.

I am wondering about the different fediverse software options and what would be best for various usecases.

Currently, I run a Mastodon and a Lemmy instance that is mostly just for myself, which is great for doing microblogging and link-aggregation/replacing Reddit. In the past I've also used various blog platforms for long-form text posts (documentation/guides), and to host some photography pics.

It feels like Mastodon isn't a good option for hosting long-form content (most instances have 500 char limits lol), nor would it be the best for trying to create a photo space akin to Instagram.

What software options would you recommend for either long-form blog posts or photo hosting? I know Pixelfed is an option (that I am looking into hosting), but is there a good blog option?

I think calckey can host pages and galleries, so it might be a good all-in-one solution? I'm not really sure.

p.s. If I export my content from Mastodon, shut down the instance, then bring up an instance of Calckey with the same domain/username, am I going to break things?
