A useful information for all future self-hosting people is the space taken by the database/media.
As you can see on the screenshot taken from polyglot.city the media take a huge space, more than anything else.
Hosting on raspberryPi is nice, but I doubt the 32G SD will be sufficient, unless littleFedi has another way of treating media (like not copying the media locally but referencing them or something).
By the way and talking about raspberries, there is a filesystem available under Linux which was created specially to extend the life of your SD card: f2fs (see here: http://whitehorseplanet.org/gate/topics/documentation/public/howto_ext4_to_f2fs_root_partition_raspi.html )
And of course, if you can avoid SD altogether and boot on something else, all the better.
All recent RP support it, if yours is old you just need to reflash the firmware. The only RP I have which does not support it is a RP2 with a firmware < 1.2 (and no possibility to upgrade).

@mark Funny you should mention the pencil museum, it's been on my to-do list for a while but never got around to it 😃

@mark nice report that brought back many memories from my past days in the Lakes.

@pepdmin I guess we bought into the idea that it would all be available forever and stored elsewhere... how wrong we were. 🫤

New littleFedi build on littleOne

littleFedi 26.08.09 - the changes in this build compared with the previous
deployment.

Followed hashtags in the main navigation

Your followed hashtags are now one click away: a Hashtags entry (with a
hashtag icon) has been added to the desktop navigation bar and the mobile
account menu, pointing at /tags. The label is translated in every supported
language.

Blog posts show a link back to their permalink

Posts that have been published to the blog now carry a small Blog chip in
the status meta line. It links to the post's readable permalink
(/@user/blog/<slug>/) and works on timestamps and boosts, so readers can jump
straight from the timeline to the polished blog version of a long post.

Status meta line reworked

Every marker on a status - visibility, language, blog chip, expiry - is now
rendered as the same uniform chip in a single wrapping flex row, instead of a
mix of right-aligned inline boxes. Posts that carry several markers read as one
neat line rather than a ragged stack. The Ink and Roost themes were adjusted to
match.

Robustness: orphaned-account posts no longer break the page

Previously a post whose author account no longer resolves (a purged account, or
a partially hydrated cache entry) could fail the whole timeline render. Now any
status - including the target of a boost - whose author is missing is silently
skipped. Covered by a new test.

Icon updates

  • Catch-up view and its navigation entries now use a VHS icon instead of the
    old sparkle (thank you for the suggestion, @shom@littleone.littlefedi.social ).
  • The "redraft" action gets a proper undo icon.
  • The Appearance and Blog appearance settings sections get a palette
    icon.
  • New hashtag icon for the navigation.

Blog theming fixes

  • Proper spacing restored for non-paragraph content in the post body: headings,
    bullet/numbered lists, horizontal rules and code blocks now breathe instead of
    collapsing against each other.
  • A post with a single attachment now renders a full-width figure (the old
    grid left a small thumbnail stranded at the left edge).
  • The "View or reply in the Fediverse" link is now consistently styled.
  • Ledger theme: long code lines scroll inside their block instead of
    breaking out past the reading measure.
  • Marginalia theme: the thread link, replies and pager now align to the text
    column on wide screens, and print output was cleaned up.

If you publish a blog, regenerate it so the fixes apply: Settings → Blog
appearance → Rebuild blog now
. The blog's style.css is assembled at build
time, so it only picks up these changes when you rebuild.

#littleFedi #littleOne #Fediverse

The joys of getting rid of streaming services and getting back into actually owning your own music, movies, shows and games... apart from issues with space running out are definitely sourcing second hand copies of your favorite albums. Don't know why I ever thought that leasing EVERYTHING was a great idea in the first place.

To say I am excited about #LittleFedi software would be an understatement. What I am seeing from @stefano and the team breaks new barriers for entering in, and participating in, the #Fediverse. Can't wait to test on a self hosted Pi at home. If successful, I shall migrate my long established Mastodon cloud instance to it and serve all from home on local hardware.

I'm very much interested in "constructed languages".
Beside being able to understand Esperanto, I learned about "Lingwa de Planeta (Lidepla)" only last year.

Lidepla is constructed out of the 10-12 most spoken languges of the world, what makes it more international than Esperanto does.

Here are some example sentences:

"Some phrases will almost seem to be Russian:

Yu snova dumai om sey nove filma.
You think about this new film again.

Some phrases may consist almost solely of Chinese words:

Ta shwo ke ta bu yao chi yan, ta yao nangwa.
He says that he does not want to eat mutton, he wants pumpkin.

Some may consist of Hindi words:

Me jan ke mata pri pi chay.
I know that mother likes to drink tea.

And some are of Arabic ones:

Juma sabah me safari.
On Friday morning I am going for a trip."

I like the considerations they made while developing the Lingwa de Planeta :)

Their slogan: "Fo unitaa de Arda! - For the unity of the Planet!"

Just brought the little one to sleep with thanks to #thestaves. I highly recommend the band to anyone who hasn't heard of them yet. And always will.

I'm finding myself visiting #littlefedi more and more - more than my own #mastodon-instance. I really like that it doesn't look like the #birdsite at all and does try something new just on a visual level. Really looking forward to selhosting this piece of amazing community-software. <3

Which of these "constructed languages (conlangs") sound most natural, for your taste?

Selection: Esperanto, Mini Linga, Globasa, Lingwa de Planeta, Dasopya

Example: "Our Father"

ESPERANTO

Patro nia, kiu estas en la ĉielo,
Sankta estu Via nomo.
Venu reĝeco Via.
Estu volo Via, kiel en la ĉielo, tiel ankaŭ sur la tero.
Panon nian ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.
Kaj pardonu al ni ŝuldojn niajn, kiel ni ankaŭ pardonas al niaj ŝuldantoj.
Ne konduku nin en tenton, sed liberigu nin de la malvera:
Ĉar Via estas la regado, la forto, kaj la gloro eterne.
Amen.

(Tradukis L.L. Zamenhof, 1887)

MINI LINGA (Mini Language)

Mi-ale fami,
Ke e en selo,
Tu name e santi.
Tu tera i veni,
Tu vole i veni,
En tera, sama selo.
I dona go mi
En di sole a sole pan,
An i dona de a mi mala,
Sama ke mi i dona de
A mala de ota man.
I no kapo go kali a mi,
Pero i toma de mala a mi.
Tera, poten, an mega name
E Tu, go ale tempo.
Amen.

LINGWA DE PLANETA

Übersetzung des "Vater unser" (unvollständig):
"Nuy Patra kel es pa swarga,
hay Yur nam santefai,
hay Yur reging lai,
hay Yur vola fulfil
i pa arda kom pa swarga.
Dai ba a nu nuy pan fo jivi sedey
e pardoni ba a nu nuy deba,
kom nu pardoni toy-las kel debi a nu.
Bye dukti nu inu temta
e protekti nu fon bada."

Replying to @francois

@francois @shom@gts.shom.dev Thank you.
For me, that spirit never faded. The modem's noise was a gateway to something magical, a doorway to a different world.
Things didn't evolve in the way I was hoping, but we can do something to recreate that passion, that idea, that feeling.
We have the tools. We just need the mood.
