I would like to stand up some self hosted applications that need a significant amount of storage behind them. I'm thinking pixelfed/immich and peertube for now. The intention is to provide a place for my family to store and share photos and videos in an easily accessible place. I would also like to load it up with a long history of media we've already accumulated, adding up to about 1TB. I would prefer to host the front end application on a VPS so that I'm not having to rely on my home ISP to serve everything (blocking standard ports and such). However, I want to use the storage I have available at home. Bandwidth is not an issue (500Mbs synchronous). I know these applications can be set up to use object storage from various providers. Has anyone set up self hosted object storage? If so, any recommendations? Another option may be to create an IPSec tunnel or something between the VPN and the home storage to provide file-level access. Perhaps that would perform better? I don't really want to pay a fat monthly fee for storage when I already have everything stored at home, but I don't want to host the applications directly from home either. Thinking others have already solved this. Thanks for your input!
Just introducing myself. Got my first bike in 2021, a Kawasaki Z400. The next season, my daughter got her license and picked up a little Z125 Pro. this year, I upgraded to a Z900, and she's now on the Z400. Here they all are lined up.

I'm learning about the Fediverse and am confused about how federation is supposed to work. I understand that there can be communities with the same name in different instances, with different content. But I also understand you can subscribe to another instance's community. For example, there are sysadmin commnunities at lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and beehaw.org (among others). If we focus on one specific community, let's say sysadmin@lemmy.world, we can find that community from any of the instances. If I go to each instance and look at sysadmin@lemmy.world from each one, I can see the same pinned post is at the top of each one instance's view ("Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees!" by DarraignTheSane).
Great!
However, if I look at that pinned thread from each of the three instances, the comment stream is different. The post itself is the same, but the comment thread is a mixed bag. Some comments seem to appear in multiple instances while others only in one or two, but never all three
lemmy.world shows 11 comments lemmy.one shows 6 comments beehaw.org shows 4 comments
On lemmy.world, the second newest comment says "Nice! It feels like home." This comment also shows up on lemmy.one however not on beehaw
The newest comment on lemmy.world says "yeeey" but doesn't appear in any other instance's view of sysadmin@lemmy.world
This is just one specific example. Are you not supposed to get the same content, when looking at the same community, regardless of what instance you are logged into when viewing it? Or am I missing something?
