Once a network operator at AS20621, I discovered my passion for #FreeBSD and #illumos. Today, I focus on #DevOps and development in Python and Rust, contributing to #Ansible, #Proxmox, #PegaProx, #Debian and #GardenLinux. My current journey explores the future of computing with #RISCV, testing it both in evaluation and production. Projects: #BoxyBSD.com: A free VM hosting service to provide some value back to the community. #ProxLB: (Re)Balance your CTs/VMs across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. ProxLB is a dynamic resource scheduler for Proxmox which rebalances objects to other nodes in cluster based on CPU, memory or disk resources. #manpageblog: A static blog generator in manpage design, written in Python.

Meet #Starling, a lightweight #ActivityPub server for the #Fediverse, built with PHP and SQLite.
Run your own decentralized social platform on shared hosting or a tiny VPS WITHOUT Redis, PostgreSQL, or complex infrastructure.
What it makes so special to me? It looks awesome, comes with a great admin web interface and does not require a VPS instance where it can also be operated on a cheap shared hosting systems. By the given requirements, it also easily runs on a #RaspberryPI and all kind of systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Illumos and more!
This all makes it perfect to everyone and even beginners to run their own instance. With relay support (e.g., fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) it even can consume and post content over non-directly connected instances in the #fediworld!

#Starling is a lightweight #PHP #fediverse server you can install by just copying files over FTP to a shared host. No PostgreSQL, no workers, no DevOps. Owning your data with #ActivityPub can be much simpler than with #ATProtocol. Have you tried it?

Any #starling-el users out there who miraculously see this: Starling have removed the insights API, so the insights feature is broken right now.
I plan to remove it when I have a sec.
Everything else works as before though.
