  • Garage has deduplication of all files, yes. Obviously if you host something on server not under your control you have to have a certain trust in them. Generally speaking Garage seems to be a good replacement for Minio, but I don’t have any direct tips for migrating.

    There was also a project for Mastodon to sit between it and any S3 storage that would allow sharing and deduplicating files between instances, but I can’t find it right now and forgot the name. But it seemed stuck in a rewrite and not actively developed outside of that.




  • Wat? Sorry, but your definition is even further from anything that could be called a consensus. You could maybe argue that WhatsApp is a social network, but it definitly isn’t social media and it is completly outlandish to claim so. Where do you even get the “media” part in it? You know, compound words are still made up of induvidual words that have a meaning by itself. Kinda funny that you accuse me of “making up definitions” 🙄

    But sure there are some blurry edges between them. Like of Instagram is primarily used for social media, but the direct messages are more used like a social network.











  • First of all I would recommend you use Piefed instead. Easier to setup and maintain.

    But I am not sure exactly what you want that Lemmy/Piefed instance for? As an internal forum of sorts? That can work, but is not really what it was developed for and there are better (non-federated) options.

    If you want it to be an actually federated instance than the Rasberry will not cut it. The desktop might, if it has some good SSD storage for the database.

    For in game voice-chat the simplest option is a Mumble server. Very low resource and runs great on a Rasberry like yours. Otherwise you could also try setting up a Movim instance. It has text chat and voice/video calls that should reasonably work as a Discord substitute for small groups. It is also quite low resource and should run fine on that Rasberry.
