Technically, WordPress started as a fork.

An asshole

Well, VPS then.

What would be a “not personally setup”?

Both, somewhat. It is a virtual root server. I’m still considering to consolidate - at least - my OpenBSD servers into one, but I’m lazy.

My backup server is the only one of my servers that is located outside Germany. You know, in case the British come again. Or the data centre of my other servers burns down. Or something like that.

Every night, this server receives a (compressed, incremental) backup of the most important data (content and configuration files) from each of my other servers, which I created with Borg.

I haven’t been able to try Linkding on any of my servers yet, as neither OpenBSD nor OmniOS are supported. I would probably like it if it did.

I wish I knew.

Germany has the EU’s highest energy prices. Just saying.

1. There is no obvious way to install Hoarder on an unsupported platform. My servers run OpenBSD and OmniOS. Both of them don’t even have any Docker support. (Which is not something I’d absolutely need, to be honest.)
2. Hoarder runs on Node.js. I will use Lisp (edit: or Rust, but I’m positive I’ll beat Lisp’s session management some time soon). Node.js is a dependency hell.
3. Hoarder does not really encourage manual and/or regex-based tagging, it strongly suggests relying on “artificial intelligence”. As I am rather disappointed by what “artificial intelligence” is currently able to do, I’d prefer to default to the old approach.

Of course, all of this is just a personal preference.

Working on my better Hoarder alternative. Goal: maybe 2025.

Even if there was any truth to this, a good search engine remains unimpressed by world politics.

First sentence, last sentence, skip the rest.

The WordPress “spokesperson” is exactly as butthurt as you’d expect:

we continue to protect the open source ecosystem

lol.

Federation (which Bluesky also strives to achieve) is not something that you’ll even notice once registered, and the lack of users (and thus content) is a self-fulfilling prophecy, don’t you think?

They are not.

That’s mostly a Mastodon thing. Part of the reason why Mastodon has a weird reputation is that you are more than encouraged to label your posts there, or there WILL be comments.

Yes (somewhat), just like you can post on Lemmy with Honk, but note that all ActivityPub software, while speaking the same protocol, interacts best with its own kind. Yet.

Narrator: they will not

Honestly, what I use is not what I would recommend. ;-) My own setup follows these directions (TL;DR: OpenBSD, as much OOTB OpenBSD software as possible, and Dovecot.)
