Some words about our little #community...
In the beginning I was curious about the challenge to host a #mastodon instance, then I was a bit worried because of the data responsibility and everything. Now, after chatting and dealing with little problems here and there, I must say I'm glad I did that.
And proud, because #bofhers understand that this is a hobby and afaik they understand what #fediverse + decentralized means + they're offering hand when some help is needed.

My mate today is https://twitch.tv/usirin
I don't understand a word of Turkish but you can't imagine how it helps to see someone else working -with similar tools- same time.
Remote work is not all about pros and pleasures, it has cons too, such as being alone most of the time.
Little summary from our instance in numbers (20221107):
🔘 Mastodon version 3.5.3
🔘 Active users: 35
🔘 Interactions: near 1k
🔘 Disk: 26Gb (90% are media_attachments)
🔘 DB: pg_dump recently baked is about 200Mb (50Mb gzipped)
My guess is that no big investment is needed - server - for a tiny number of users, but to be honest dunno what happens if it grows as it is doing in some instances that have experienced problems lately.
This afternoon I had a meeting, my mate prettified a horrible string into a tabulated and perfectly aligned json in his shinny VSCode.
Immediately felt that I needed to get the same using my tools. Literally 4 mins later in my .vimrc:
:command Format :%!jq .
:command Unformat :%!jq -c .
