Do you run your own PeerTube server? Would you like to feature videos from other PeerTube servers too?

You can do this really easily by federating other servers and/or specific accounts from other servers. Their videos will appear on your server without requiring any extra bandwidth or resources.

Here's a step-by-step guide to how to do this, including a list of recommended servers to federate, and lots of questions answered:

    Seriously contemplating migrating to just because I am starting to out grow in terms of size(followers/following). Don't get me wrong Snac is absolutely FANTASTIC and I'd 100% recommend it to anyone starting out their own fedi instance but Littlefedi is a lot snappier for me in terms of account size and it doesn't use near as much disk access as Snac. I haven't 100% made up my mind yet and something or someone may change it but the Littlefedi option is really looking promising.

        My MO is simple: Stack and parallel old equipment to obtain the capability of modern equipment for a tiny fraction of the cost.

        The downside - power usage can be high and overall speed lower.

        But it's the capability and independence that matter.

                                    Півчетвертої ночі закінчили термінові правки на нашому сервері. Причина в тому, що в світі знайшли дві критичні вразливості в самій мові PHP. Їх назвали PHP2Shell, це CVE-2026-109618 і CVE-2026-109619. Оцінка 9.2 з 10, а для експлуатації не потрібна авторизація.

                                    Основна наша система написана іншою мовою, але кілька окремих сервісів працювали на PHP. Ми несемо відповідальність за все, що крутиться на нашому сервері, тому закрили всі.

                                    Що відомо станом на зараз.

                                    Виправлення вийшли 21 жовтня у версіях 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 та 8.2.35. Старші гілки офіційних патчів не отримали.

                                    Знайшли діри дослідники з допомогою моделей ШІ: першу версію компанія Calif ще в серпні, а Wiz незалежно виявила обидві. Дослідники кажуть, що вада існувала роками, але ШІ зробив її експлуатацію практичною.

                                    Інформація витекла за день до виходу патчу. Спроби атак фіксували ще 17 жовтня, за кілька днів до публічного розкриття. Деякі уряди, за повідомленнями, на час відключили свої сайти.

                                    Масштаб. PHP стоїть на близько 70% сайтів, де відома серверна мова. Це не означає, що стільки зламано: надійних цифр підтверджених зломів поки немає, і дослідники пишуть, що експлуатація складніша, ніж здавалось у перший день. Але ризик реальний, а старих версій без підтримки в мережі дуже багато.

                                    Що зробити вам.

                                    Перевірте, чи є PHP на сервері та в контейнерах: php -v, docker images.
                                    Оновіть PHP і перезапустіть php-fpm або веб-сервер.
                                    Якщо оновитись не можете одразу, вимкніть session.upload_progress.enabled.
                                    Подивіться на дивні дочірні процеси від користувача веб-сервера і нові php файли.
                                    Якщо сервіси були відкриті в мережі з 17 жовтня, змініть ключі та токени.

                                    Бережіть себе і свої сервери 🙏

                                            Amnesty International Spain gained independence from Big Tech with Nextcloud

                                            For Carlos López Belenguer, IT Manager at Amnesty International Spain, free software is the key to truly owning your digital tools.

                                            Amnesty International involves more than 7 million people worldwide. With Nextcloud, its Spanish branch can now use the kind of tools that used to be available only from big US tech companies, on their own terms.

                                            Carlos' advice for anyone making the move: set clear expectations, plan your change management, and train your users. With Nextcloud's feature set growing with every version, the trade-offs of migrating keep shrinking.

                                            Using Nextcloud empowered Amnesty International Spain to:

                                            🤝 Work with activists, suppliers, and staff in a decentralized, hybrid way
                                            ⚙️ Self-host the entire platform and keep full control over its data
                                            🔐 Truly own its tools, thanks to free software that no single entity can control

                                              According to this...

                                              for c in $(docker ps --format '{{.Names}}'); do docker exec "$c" sh -c 'ls /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin 2>/dev/null | grep -q "^php"' 2>/dev/null && echo "$c"; done

                                              Looks like is the only public-facing thing I'm hosting with in it. (?)

                                              Putting it to sleep and making it local-only until a patch drops.
