Spent the weekend configuring all my services that support OIDC in the #homelab. Those that don't set up oauth2-proxy the OIDC part for me. I got like 97 percent of the services done. I think

@grassymage I think Proton still sucks compared to @monocles or even @Stuxhost if #SelfHosting isn't an option.

• Cuz the whole *"#Swiss #DataProtection"*fell flat on it's face years ago when @protonprivacy snitched on it's users.

Because there are no "logless" Providers and everyone who claims otherwise is either a #scammer or and/or operates a #Honeypot.

• If you really expect state-spomsored attackers, using @torproject / #Tor is the absolute minimum...

Good morning Fedi friends!

Not much to report on the #selfhosting side... I need to update #Ghost to its latest version but I have another day of filming ahead... so maybe I'll get into it tomorrow morning while my husband takes care of our daughter. VPS Snapshot -> a couple of commands and the new Ghost should be updated in give or take 10 minutes (if all goes well, ha!)

My point today was to say that being a beginner is really humbling. I've been a total newbie in the self-hosting / Linux space. How fun it is to learn new things!

And now I'm experiencing the newbie feeling in my professional field - filmmaking - as I am learning a new editing system: #DaVinciResolve.

I started out editing in #FinalCut Pro in film school... then moved over to #AdobePremiere when Apple remade Final Cut from scratch, simplifying it for beginners. And now that Adobe is on the highway to enshittification and is hiking prices to extortionate levels, I am moving to DaVinciResolve.

When I moved from Final Cut to #Adobe Premiere I imported Final Cut shortcuts... so it was really easy to get started fast. Professional editors use keyboard shortcuts for EVERYTHING and almost never go to the menu for actions... Well, there is no such thing as importing shortcuts into DVR, so I need to learn its shortcuts from scratch. And it's a lot of fun! A little embarrassing to say that yesterday it took me 10 minutes and multiple searches to figure out that to cut a clip at a specific point I had to use command-B.

It's super humbling to feel like a beginner in film editing - when, in my previous life, I used to spend 10 hours a day every day editing or doing motion graphics. I hit the proverbial 10,000 hours many times over.

I love this "newbie" feeling and I never get tired of learning.

Wishing everyone a great day!

Paperless-NGX is hella underrated.

#DigitalSovereignty doesn't mean tech for sovereign nations, it means tech for sovereign people.

Tech in the hands of a European billionaire class is hardly any better than what we have now.

Free it up, give people control, open source it, decentralise it, remove choke points and gatekeepers, encrypt all the things, remove the #SurveillanceAds industry from the equation, enable #SelfHosting and #SmallTech. And then let's talk #GoEuropean.

Question for you that have VPS in the #homelab with cloud flare. Do you sit Cloudflare in front of your VPS and then do your business or you raw dawg the internet and expose it as it is. Do we care about the whole, "Cloudflare can see your shit" thing.

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I haven't been posting about #selfhosting lately because my entire life has been taken over by filmmaking – creating a promo video for the #Fediverse with the amazing @samaaberg and @TheLifeofTarzan

I miss Terminal, Linux commands and installing / updating things... but I am on a new learning journey. After nearly a decade of editing in Adobe Premiere, I am now moving to #DaVinciResolve. At this point Adobe's prices are extortionate... I will have to do motion graphics in AfterEffects but I won't be paying for multiple Creative Cloud apps.

The learning curve for DaVinci Resolve is a little steeper than expected but I'm having a lot of fun.

And yes, yes, I know, at some point I will try the #FOSS video editing software https://kdenlive.org. On my to do list for the summer!

I hope you're having a lovely day 🌞

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 139 (filmmaker edition) 🎬

Good morning Fedi friends!

I've been quiet over here for a good reason: I'm currently laser-focused on producing a first promo video about the Fediverse. I'm working with two talented interns and today we start filming! More on this here: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/114454286121971517

Any free time I have I spend working on a 10 minute presentation about my self-hosting journey, that I will deliver later this month at a FOSS conference. I was invited by the amazing #YunoHost team to speak along with other inspiring folks about using YunoHost to self-host.

All this to say: it's a very very busy month and I may not have much to say about self-hosting per se. But! I just did my Monday morning ritual AKA backing up my YunoHost setup.

Wishing everyone a great week!

PSA for people with #Wordpress blogs: do you know that you can turn off comments on old posts?

In the last few months I have noticed a significant uptick in spammy comments on my Wordpress blogs (I have 4).

Well there is a way to remedy all that: you can simply turn off comments on old blog posts by going to:

Settings -> Discussion -> and checking "Automatically close comments on old posts"

(You can even determine the "oldness" of posts, for example, older than 7 days, 14 days... anything you'd like)

Enabling this made all the difference for me. I could not recommend it more.

End of my PSA 🤗

Have a great day everyone!

#blog #blogging #selfhosting #spam

Oh well, after some research, I might have to create subdomains for other #ActivityPub if I want to avoid conflicts with #Mastodon

I am thinking about #Lemmy and #Pixelfed, and maybe ever so perhaps #Manyfold in the future

I will probably keep Mastodon under the same domain for now, and eventually move it to its subdomain when I feel like the time has come

I am still checking to have two different instances on the same domain tho', for science

#homelab #selfhosting #fediverse

Es gibt einen Meilenstein zu verkünden: https://mastodon.online/@feinste_netzwerke
ist zu https://feinste-netzwerke.de/cc umgezogen.

Nun veröffentlichen wir im #Fediverse unter der schicken Adresse: @cc

Und ein großer Applaus an @grunfink, Schöpfer des hervorragenden #snac #ActivityPub-Servers. Bitte #boosten, damit diese kleine #selfhosting #FreeBSD Instanz an Reichweite gewinnt. Danke an @gyptazy für den Relay. Anleitung für bsdbox.de ist in Arbeit! #wip

What kind of issues or concerns might I have if I shut down one kind of AP server software and then set up a different AP server on the domain previously occupied by the now decommissioned first AP server?

(I don’t think the soon-to-be-shutdown server has a self-destruct.)

I’ve once again started the process of installing and setting up Nextcloud on one of my servers. It occurs to me that my Nextcloud instances always die a slow death. Something about that piece of software, I think, sort of just falls apart over time. This time I’m attempting to future proof it a little bit more than the previous times, but honestly I fully expect it to go about the same as usual. Then again, historically I have installed all kinds of plugins (or apps) and was running it on fairly low powered hardware. Setting it up on some decently powerful hardware on this go around though. I’ll also try to be more conservative with the app installs as well.

I might actually set up two separate instances and federate them together. Perhaps if I maintain multiple servers they’ll survive a bit longer? Or I’ll just be creating twice the amount of tinkering and maintenance for myself.
