#SelfHosting week 1, phase 4. FINALLY.
The main architecture is up and running now.
Lemmy, WriteFreely, Castopod, today I'll get WordPress multisite running; my current site on shared hosting, runs a singular website where I created multilingual through "FullSiteEditing" WordPress feature; but it's quite difficult to maintain in long-term so 2 sites with 2 languages will make it better.
Now I have upgraded my hosting plan to Hostinger kvm2, and associated my VPS to the huge lifetime 10TB cloud I have, for podcasts. PCloud, through rclone. Next phase will be WordPress, then maybe to point various services to the right domain (plusbrothers.net and not .online). Most passages have been done via command line, and to find the right commands I've used google gemini. Unfortunately for some features, American (big) tech has still been useful. #accessibility #selfhost #activitypub #blog #multilingual #blind #WordPress

TIL that naked URLs work so much better in #activitypub via #wordpress than anchor text

“I feel like we're rebooting to the last version of the Internet that I felt uncomplicated joy about.”

ChatGPT mostly reflects what's already out there, the internet, Reddit, different communities.
Which means chatting with it is a bit like chatting with what the world currently thinks, bias and vice, trolls included, but also real discussions.
So, I asked it about the Fediverse. I would say that it sounds not too "wrong".
What's your take?
This is the convo:

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.
The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.
The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

Ich habe mal eine Frage an die Blogger:innen, die das ActivityPub-Plugin für WordPress nutzen. Wie handhabt ihr das mit den Avataren? Was macht ihr, damit das DSGVO-konform funktioniert, also ohne Gravatar in jeglicher Form? Werden die Avatare aus dem Fediverse grundsätzlich angezeigt, da Gravatar ja nicht involviert ist?
Ich hatte das damals mal getestet und die Avatare aus dem Fediverse wurden nicht angezeigt, da ich über das Plugin „One User Avatar” die interne Funktion von WordPress deaktiviert hatte.

As I was settling into bed last night, for some reason, my brain was looping on the “Choose Life” monologue from Trainspotting.
Now, that’s a deliberately cynical and subversive passage – so maybe it’s a terrible idea to be inspired to re-use the format in this way – but I’m taking the positive parts, and I’m trying something. I’m not sure what the ultimate format will be yet, but I started posting some ideas this morning, and here’s what I’ve got.
Choose Mastodon. Choose the Fediverse.
Choose curiosity over virality.
Choose connection over noise, authenticity over performance, and hope over hype.
Be niche. Be human. Be yourself.
Choose your people, your pace, your corner of the web.
Choose freedom.
—
Choose open standards and interoperability instead of being walled in or caged.
Choose the right to leave without losing yourself.
Choose to build together.
Choose an internet that doesn’t depend on one billionaire’s mood.
Choose boundaries made by people, not incentives set by code.
Choose spaces where your words aren’t metrics and your friends aren’t a product.
—
Choose a thousand small communities instead of one loud machine.
Choose timelines that listen.
Choose #Monsterdon, #SilentSunday, #CatsOfMastodon, #BelieveInFilm, #Mosstodon.
Boost because you care. Follow because you’re interested.
Choose creativity. Choose joy!
Choose watching The Indie Beat Television, and being inspired by art.
Choose optionality. Choose respect.
Choose a human web.
Yes – I know the original ends with a “why bother, do drugs” – that’s not the point of this. I’m well aware that folks will choose to be contrary – that is, after all, a choice – but I’m saying: let’s take a moment to uplift each other, and celebrate the open social web!
Thanks for the conversations in the thread on fedi! 🤩

Does anyone here have experience with federated Forgejo (v13.0.4)? I set it to enabled in the .ini file and restarted, but what will happen as a result? Can people who use other instances now star my repos, or do I need to configure something else?
