I think it needs 512meg of ram and pref multiproc but that would be for hosting multiple users I would imagine. I'm thinking home setup (if I ever get decent broadband) and DDNS - its something we as a group could experiment with and improve documentation? If it can run for limited connections on your home machine it seems to cover pretty much the negatives given in this thread so farOn 27/08/14 20:17, Roland Tarver wrote:On 27/08/14 19:55, Richard Brown wrote:Hi All On 27 Aug 2014, at 14:00, Tom<madtom1999@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I notice diaspora is getting some bad press for being used by certain organisations. Beginning to think its time I got one working properly - any usesrs out ther? Tom te tom te tomI am a bit frustrated by Diaspora and the lack of a data centre in Cornwall. I would love to set up and run my own Diaspora network. I have a whole load of family members who would not use Facebook if I had a Diaspora network set up. I have a Diaspora account but am unable to use it because no one else uses Diaspora. When I suggest using Diaspora on a different server most family members ask why is that different to Facebook. I explain about data ownership etc but they point out that there data is now on someone else's server and the problem could persist.Agreed. Phil Hudson posts on there quite a bit, but he was my only friend.... Bring out the violins! haha! No one else I know and certainly none of the family have an account. Perhaps that's a failing on my part.. lol Apparently you can make Diaspora posts which automagically get posted to your other social media things (FB, G+ etc) To be honest, I'm getting a bit cheesed off with facebook et al. I don't really need to know that you had "skimmed milk with your corn flakes this morning"! lol Cheers roly :-)Well I am sure between the Lug which is what over 200 people we can between us come up with something on this. Can people not install a webserver (even on a pi) and connect it to their home router and port forward port 80, or use the dyndns service (or similar) to glue the right bits together. Paul
