Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 104 (pride edition) 👷♀️<br><br>Good morning Fedi friends!<br><br>Aw pride is a powerful thing.<br><br>I'd like to think that I'm pretty zen and detached and successfully suppressing my ego... but when it comes to things I'm passionate about (read: tech, self-hosting) I cannot let things go.<br><br>I had a very very sweet shout-out on a Fediverse podcast last week... but said shout-out mentioned my self-hosting issues and that maybe self-hosting isn't for everyone. I felt that I had to correct the record (even if the mention came with the nicest intention)... because I have ZERO issues self-hosting <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a>, <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> and <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> (thanks to the magic of <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YunoHost</span></a>). All my troubles had to do with <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ghost</span></a>. (And Ghost is wonderful, it's not related to it, just external circumstances).<br><br>So, determined to defend my honor (ha!) on Friday I achieved the impossible: all by myself, following guides I found online, I managed to install <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/apache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apache</span></a> and <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/varnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Varnish</span></a> on my VPS and connected Varnish to Ghost. My site was already fast, now it's BLAZING fast.<br><br>So I'm giving it another go, moving from Ghost (Pro) to my self-hosted Ghost installation. I turned off subscriptions on <a href="https://blog.elenarossini.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://blog.elenarossini.com</a>... next step is disconnecting the subdomain DNS (a CNAME record) from Ghost... and redirecting traffic to my new blog (<a href="https://news.elenarossini.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://news.elenarossini.com</a>).<br><br>I know how to code things in NGINX for the redirect to work (I think, via guides I found online).<br><br>My big question is: how do I tweak my old DNS records for <a href="https://blog.elenarossini.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://blog.elenarossini.com</a> so that NGINX on my self-hosted site <a href="https://news.elenarossini.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://news.elenarossini.com</a> will correctly pick up the traffic requests? Do I need to set up A and AAAA records for the subdomain blog to point to my VPS with the self-hosted Ghost blog? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏<br><br>Oh and I learned my lesson and - unlike last time - I am making big changes on a Monday morning, when I have the whole workweek ahead of me (instead of a Friday afternoon 1 hour before picking up my child from nursery school). You live and learn! 😅<br><br><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a></p>

I may honestly start off by self-hosting with <a href="https://bananachips.club/tags/Yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Yunohost</span></a> on my old netbook simply because it's the easiest and cheapest. </p><p><a href="https://bananachips.club/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> :boost_ok:</p>

TiTiNoNero :__:<p>Soon I'll (most probably) have to travel to US for work, and I am somehow concerned for my privacy and also for my physical safety: news reports concerning many tourists and expat workers make me feel unwelcome.</p><p>I'll of course let the immigration check roam into my work phone and my work PC, which are provided by my company, but I have no intention of bringing my private ones along, as I can access my socials from any browser if I'll ever need to.</p><p>This is to avoid explanations or justifications, or useless arguments. I'm convinced to comply, since the alternative is fear and uncertainty.</p><p>As for my website, I'll keep it up and running. There are no critical statements towards the current administration. Maybe I can't say the same for my podcast, for which I brought offline a single, maybe to emotional, episode.</p><p>As for my <a href="https://goto.77nn.it/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gotosocial</span></a> instance, should I turn it off for the time of my trip? It should not be indexed anywhere as long as I am aware, but it could, however be browsed at the moment. Would it raise more suspicion if it's off or not? What do you think?</p>

Battalion<p><strong>Destroying Autocracy – 27 March 2025</strong></p><p><strong>Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.</strong></p><p>It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it.

Vasileios Valatsos<p>First of all, I moved instance! I am now self hosting my own <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gotosocial</span></a> instance, which uses the <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/api" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>API</span></a>, but is easy to self host, and is super chill on the resources. This also means that I can now post long form content! 5000 characters is a blog post in itself, so I can blog AND microblog.<br><br>Secondly, I released 1.1.1 of the <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/alectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alectors</span></a> library for <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/nlproc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nlproc</span></a> with <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/rl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rl</span></a>. I should probably start keeping a changelog or a release log, but I am just getting to grips with what <a href="https://social.apotheke.earth/tags/semver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>semver</span></a> is and how to use it in general.

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>Good morning Fedi friends!<br><br>It's been 99 days since I started self-hosting my own Fediverse instances. Crazy how time flies!<br><br>I've been a bit absent from here this week because I started exploring the world of <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeerTube</span></a> from the POV of a creator.<br><br>I just set up my own account on <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/makertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakerTube</span></a> - so that I can write a guide that is accessible to many (as opposed to skipping this step and going straight to self-hosting).<br><br>Anyway, here is my PeerTube account: <a href="https://makertube.net/a/elena/video-channels" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://makertube.net/a/elena/video-channels</a><br><br>I have been able to follow it from <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> and <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> without a problem, but I keep getting an error message when I try to subscribe with my <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> username. The exact message: "Cannot fetch information from this remote account." Does anybody have the same issue? (as in: people on GoToSocial, can you subscribe to PeerTube channels?)<br><br>Wishing you all a lovely day 🌞<br><br>P.S.: about to go offline for the rest of the day because... there's no pre-school in France on Wednesdays and the garderie keeps my little one up until 12:30. So apologies in advance if I'm slow to reply to messages.<br><br><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a><br><br></p>

DynoFlux :mastodon:<p>aha! You can do it using elinks (commandline browser). it handles the xdg-open correctly, lets you log in and get the oauth code, and then when you quit (q) there's the correct stdin prompt to enter the auth code.. bingo! <a href="https://exile.social/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gotosocial</span></a> <a href="https://exile.social/tags/slurp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slurp</span></a></p><p>*However whilst it works with GTS, elinks doesn't work with an actual mastodon instance because the page is laid out different and it scrolls the field with the OAUTH code in which seems to make it impossible to copy unless you copy it by hand</p>
