I would recommend giscus over discus, but yes, certainly a valid approach!

I have been pleased with giscus on my blog (http://roguesecurity.dev/ ) Its powered via github discussions.

XMPP is the way! I recently dove in as a replacement to matrix and have really enjoyed it.

Agreed, prosody is great! I've been doing some experimenting with ejabberd and it seems more enterprise-ready, but I haven't found anything that is discernable as far as feature advantages.

Sounds like a great opportunity to breath some life into it! If you really have the itch for IRC, there's a slidge bridge to connect IRC to XMPP!

Agreed! Runtime environment management is so much nicer with modern containerization. You or ally can't overstate how much better it is to have app stack state be entirely divorced from OS state. I'm very pleased they're back on the bandwagon as well.

Stand up a server and come join our MUC!

UPDATE: For anyone who comes back to this, or any new readers -- I have added a MUC (chat room) on my XMPP server for discussion of any tech-related things, akin to the subject-matter of this blog. Hope to see you there!

I have experimented with Simplex, but it feels less tuned toward hosting federated infrastructure and more tuned toward participation with the greater network in a pseudo-anonymous fashion.

Adoption is also always a hurdle with any ecosystem like this, and XMPP is certainly ahead of Simplex in that avenue.

It has a long healthy life ahead! Come join the party, the proof is in the pudding.

What's the best chat to self host? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

😆 +1 for reading enough to see that! Thank you!

I'm one of those people that ends up using the vocabulary I once learned to get the most value out of it. Would hate to waste all that. Haha.

This is also a great article! Thanks for the link.

One cool point in favor of XMPP is that in a public setting (MUCs), there's community. Moparisbest is an active participant in several of the MUCs that I'm in. Very cool!

This one is a little self-hosting specific, and more casual Linux best practices, but I've got a new blog post down for general security! Harden your systemd units (especially custom ones) for better peace of mind on the internet!

Self-host Meshtastic Metrics in Grafana (roguesecurity.dev)

This is a generic metrics post to leverage a spare ESP32 meshtastic node to ingest metrics into Grafana! We've had some congestion issues due to poor config in my area, and this has helped me pinpoint which nodes are causing the biggest problems, and block them at my repeater.

This one is less focused on self-hosting a homelab service, but I thought might be interesting for the homelabbers here. I got into this hobby through my career in cybersecurity, and decided to write up a little post about a tool I frequently use, mitmproxy!

Leveraging Authelia for OIDC Single Sign-On (SSO) with Headscale (roguesecurity.dev)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/28466166

If you've followed any of my self-hosted headscale with Podman series, I wrote up another "bonus" post talking about OIDC configuration with Authelia. Took some trial and error, so I figured I'd document it in the public notebook.
