Thanks, especially for that openwrt mesh bit, that might end up as the the best solution.

Looking into it, ty!
Good tip, thanks!
Kicking low-signal devices didn’t occur to me, and should be easy to implement on the OpenWrt one, thanks!
Tp-link is stock sadly, but could replace with more capable one (Mikrotik L009 probably, I don’t care about single-band in this case because it literally covers a single, open space room)
Yeah didn’t add that bit before, edited in. Archer is here as just dumb AP/routing box for the furthest room, connected to Omnia by ethernet (so yes, Archer acts as client device @ .1.20 and forwards everything to Omnia).
EDIT: Sadly I don’t have OpenWRT on the TP-Link, but the plan was to replace it with more capable Mikrotik so that I could setup the more advanced bits (Mobility Domain, “roaming”)
Ha, I didn’t specify it but both routers are connected by normal ethernet cable (TP-Link -> Turris).
Don’t think extender (as in forwarder) is good solution here as it would needlesly increase latency for the secondary, though will check! maybe there are some important bits about the mobility domain and roaming in it.
Oh I know, I was responding to r00ty as to highlight that reg. application seems to work well as spam protection. I don’t advertise so that I don’t have to dedicate the whole server to lemmy, currently running multiple other things there aye aye
I have registration application enabled and I am getting 0 registrations.
Firefox often let’s you bypass this shit with holding shift + right click or select the text you want to paste and drag and drop it into the field.
No, the commenter ommited a lot of information, it’s not full Nitro, it’s just the features that can be enabled/worked around client-side, see my comment under the parent one.
To clarify about the fake nitro plugin of Vencord/Vesktop:
It’s not Nitro, it just enables some features you get with nitro, mainly better streaming quality and being able to “send” emojis from any server (this is all it does, cant use any emoji reacts nor send bigger files or server boost).
Also
About the emojis, the custom/other server emojis are sent as image links which discord will render but it is not a native discord emoji and will format differently when used inline.
It also does nothing for custom emoji reacts.
About streaming, Discord uses webrtc, that usually means P2P streaming which in turn means that the streaming client can send whatever they want (as long as the receiving clients understand it) and discord servers can’t say no. It’s not server authoritative communication, discord without nitro just hides the UI options, vencord gives them back.
Quick google search it seems your only options for HA are Xiaomi scales with bluetooth paired to a mcu with esphome.
I’ve read the Long Earth which is co-authored with Terry Pratchett and loved it. Haven’t had the chance to read his solo works though.
Usually if the author pulls the game you can’t get it anymore if you didn’t already have it before, afaik.
I would really recommend just trying it out too (when RL time allows), all of the low-level stuff is often well hidden or not required to deal with unless you need it, well most of it is and everything having mostly one solution is a nice refresh compared to the hells of scripted languages.

“Import-time” execution was a huge mistake.
Your use-case and situation seems very close to mine except I specifically do not host communities.
First of all, you can run as many services from single nginx as you want (or can handle), usually you do this by having each service on it’s own (sub)domain and routing it all to the same IP, nginx then proxies the requests to the corresponding service running locally on a given port (see nginx reverse proxy).
I would definitely recommend docker images unless you have specific needs, afaik the ansible recipe installs and manages a docker compose project too (unless they also added official bare-bones ansible setup). Might be wrong here, I do docker and manage it myself, updating is usually a file edit and two commands away.
About the VPS being enough - from my monitoring, every foreign subscribed community increases the load, with bigger/more active communities increasing it more.
The main limiting resource for my setup is disk space, sometime ago I’ve calculated my database size is increasing about 1G per month with about 500 subscribed communities and that’s only the postgresql database size without any media.
The stats from my s3 provider (you can host images locally too), hint that I am gaining 1-5GBs of media per month.
I don’t have any metrics how much the amount of active users drains the server as my instance is intentionally small, but I can imagine that having 10-100-1000 active users at the same time would drastically increase the load of at least postgres as well as increase the bandwith.
And about my setup for comparison, I am renting a dedicated server from Hetzner (AX41-NVMe) running a bunch of other services as well (minecraft server, factorio server, file sharing service, …) and as of the last 30 days my monitoring reports the “average” load average (same for all 1/5/15m) being around 1 core (out of 12 core processor, 6*2 smt).
Memory is sitting at about 50% month average out of 64G.
Though, most of the services are really under-utilized (minecraft) or don’t require much (factorio).
Rule of thumb, if your users subscribe to a lot of outside communities expect at least increased disk space consumption, at worst also increased bandwidth and load.
If any of your hosted communities get popular on the wider fediverse, definitely expect increased bandwith and load - more servers hitting your server with more data (upvotes, comments, edits…) means nginx, lemmy and postgres also need to process more.
At baseline there will be a lot of a spiky but small chatter from other instances and the biggest resource drain will be postgres.
I wouldn’t personally go into this with anything less then 4 vCPUs, 32G of RAM and non-shared/virtual storage (disk latency kills postgres performance).
Sounds like you need to instrument it yourself.
It could be as “easy” as calling the endpoints yourself and saving the sensor states in any kind of storage grafana supports, then making a dashboard on top of that data.
Maybe Zabbix could also work
