I'm not interested in promoting or advertising. The vast majority of my tweets where just sharing random things I came across while working, or reminders when I encounter gotchas (e.g. slices as function parameters in Go).

Being completely honest, not overly interested in meeting people either. I'll give it a few months and see how it goes :)

Awesome, thanks! That's really helpful.

Makes sense, thanks.

Having a homelab myself and running quite a few services I’m still so iffy on allowing anything out on the wider web in such a public way.

Yeah, this would be the first that would be so openly accessible (I do host other things but they are severely locked down). That's why, if I do it, I'll create another VLAN, with zero access to my network/other VLANs.

That's why I was asking about disk space, as I wouldn't connect it to my NAS. If I do it, I'll probably do it on dedicated hardware with it's own drive.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks, appreciate it.

Thanks! Maybe I’ll give it a go then!

Is mastodon worth signing up for, as a content creator?

I used to be a pretty avid tweeter - I’d post random things related to my job (software engineer), like gotchas I encountered, new articles I’d written etc etc, but I left Twitter when a certain somebody took over.

I’m not bothered about a large following, but I did enjoy randomly helping people that would see my tweets and fix their issue / help with the thing they were working on.

This is exactly the reason neither of my kids have a single picture online (to my knowledge).

It’s not up to me. When they are old enough, they can decide. Until then, I’ll do damn hardest to keep it away.

No worries! It was just an instance of Lemmy (same way that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are different instances).

Rather than rely on someone else, I am thinking of just spinning up my own as I already have a home lab / know how to look after stuff etc etc

I assume this one? https://lemmy.ml/post/1855875

Edit: it’s mostly people assuming they lost the domain. I’ve seen nothing confirmed yet.
