hey @yogthos did you heard this? https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/01/how-the-chinese-beat-trump-and-openai.html #ai #china

@evan @serge Nither of them, i live in El Pinar which is a sub-urban resort in Canelones, 30km east of Montevideo. Is also where the server is located/self-hosted.

@evan @serge I remember you Evan from times of Identi.ca, more than 10 yrs ago, the pre-snowden era. I enjoy your posts very much. Thanks for your reply.

@evan @serge excuse for my sloppy english. I'll use a translator maybe next time! :ablobpeek:

@evan @serge but a concrete thing like a photo or a note on a photo will still be a photo or a note on a photo, over time. The thing is that what you state as a fact today, is a result of a consensus that may be different tomorrow. It's like trying to build enshittification-free social network. It's impossible because we humans carry our miseries wherever we go, so what protocols and platforms should focus on, imho, is in building good administration tools and solutions for concrete and tangible things and leave the complex ones, ind i mean that things that require skills beyond a mere sysadmin (like tell is something is a fact or not), to humans. Which humans? i dunno, time will tell. The real struggle in the fediverse and decentralized social media lies on finding good administrators and moderators that communities will eventually choose. I think. Build a fact-thing in a protocol, and it'll bite you in the future, full stop.

@serge i dunno if protocols should tackle abstract things like the truth, good or evil, but concrete things like an attachment, a property of an object, right?

@Esteparia bueno pero eso parece que se termina no?

@hcv13 No se en cada caso si mantienen la cuenta o no, pero a mi me da la impresion que es mayor la cantidad de gente que dice "cerré mi cuenta de ..." que en otras migraciones. Bien por ellos.

@fanta a que instancias estan entrando che? a mastodon.social o tambien a servidores españoles?

This year, 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of our self-hosted, community-driven server, Undernet Uruguay. The project was born on May 1, 2015, when I sent my first email inviting some friends to join the newly created Friendica node. Since then, we have hosted various social platforms and communication services, including GNU Social and Diaspora*, which are now discontinued.

Among all the services, the most significant has been our Mastodon instance, created on April 24, 2017, just a few months after Mastodon's initial release. It was also one of the earliest Mastodon instances in Latin America, launched alongside the Mexican instance mstdn.mx, which went live just three day earlier.

Today, we also operate a PeerTube instance, which serves as a platform for video and multimedia content for various social, political, educational, and hacking organizations. Over the past decade, we have learned a lot and made enormous efforts to maintain these services, regardless of external challenges. In addition to our global services, we also support local projects of community interest, such as a weather station, an NTP time server, and others.

We now run on a business-class internet connection, with remote server backups and storage redundancy across all our servers. Our hardware, though still composed of consumer-level components, has a total capacity of 18 cores, 50 GB of RAM, and 14 TB of redundant storage. This infrastructure is maintained on a modest budget of approximately $150 USD per month, with donations covering nearly 50% of the costs on average, not including hardware replacements or upgrades.

Our main services listed in https://undernet.uy include:

- Mastodon
- PeerTube
- Nextcloud + Collabora Office
- Email
- IRC and XMPP
- Game servers
- Telnet and Citadel web BBS
- phpBB forum
- Overleaf collaborative LaTeX editor

While I usually write about these topics in Spanish, this time I wanted to share our story with English speakers as well. If you'd like to support us, you can do so via Ko-fi, PayPal, or Liberapay.

Bueno, la migración del servicio DNS ha sido completada exitosamente (?) incluido mastodon. Ahora hosteamos nuestro propio DNS, ahora si no hay ninguna empresa de por medio #rompantodo #yameiba #mastodon #undernet

Siempre quise hacer una de estas... #tesla #usa #domsday #postapocaliptic

Este domingo vamos a estar en el 1er Encuentro Uruguayo de Redes Libres, con algunas actividades de militancia por el software libre, tecnologías libres, debatiendo e intercambiando sobre el fediverso, mastodon, los 7 años de nuestra instancia y los desafíos de crear estos espacios en tiempos de algoritmos y tecnofeudalismo. Si alguien quiere colaborar con nuestra instancia puede colaborar comprando alguno de nuestros merchandising, actualmente nos quedan algunas tazas de mastodon y alguna lapicera Undernet. El costo es para recuperar la inversión y sacar alguna ganancia para montener el servidor. Voy a estar entregando ese merchandising en el encuentro. Pueden pagar ahi mismo o hacer la compra por la tienda https://store.undernet.uy

Terminando con el apronte para el año que viene, les dejo esta otra propuesta de servicios que voy a estar dando en un nuevo servidor que estoy configurando para este propósito. Hosting de blogs wordpress acá en uruguay, en forma autogestionada, económica, con software libre y sin corporaciones https://blogosfera.uy #blogs #hosting #económico #uruguay #autogestion #internet #wordpress

bueno, largamos la tienda de merchandising de undernet y mastodon https://store.undernet.uy/ #mastodon #undernet #uruguay #merchandising #financiación

@rober @fediversetv @veenk Feliz aniversario de parte de nuestra instancia mastodon.uy. Y felicitaciones Rober por contribuir a que el fediverso sea un lugar mejor cada día. En nuestro mensaje de bienvenida, por ejemplo, linkeamos a materiales elaborados por ti, así que en esta oportunidad aprovecho para felicitarte y agradecerte todo lo que has hecho. Un gran abrazo y felicidades.

@kariboka @admin @gabriel @kris gracias, luego me fijo. El otro debate es si vale la pena el esfuerzo, nosotros supimos tener mastodon.uy como dominio XMPP y muy poca gente lo utilizaba. Quiza podriamos probar otra vez, lo voy a plantear en el equipo admin y lo discutimos @j3j5 @piracalamina
