Yeah was actually thinking about deleting my bluesky. While I do still have hope for it in terms of tech and potential to be not bound to the shits that run it now. Sadly also seems most of game dev people are still going to be there no matter what, and even worse alot are still on x. Mastodon seems to be have a bit of a reputation. That said Mastodon is the best!:D Even made my own blog engine compatible with mastodon.

Those of you who do self-hosting, how and what do you use? I was mostly looking into trying self-hosting like mastodon, so that would have to be an online hosting thingie. I see Yuno host being mentioned, but don't think my web hosting has support for that, I do have support for installing thing like a python app and so on but seems self-hosting stuff seem more dependent on running and having control over a virtual machine right?

But do you host any online stuff on it? I could use my Mac mini to host stuff, but for like mastodon I probably want something that is fully online. Also you are not worried about having a direct pipe into your private network? I guess its not much worse than torrenting stuff

well i'm using nginx proxy manager for protection from a lot of exploits, so it's not a completely direct access, plus - i have it on my old pc, so there's only the hosted stuff on there, nothing else

but yes, i do host online stuff on it

I run some services from my home server. Currently I’m putting them all behind Cloudflare Tunnels with single sign on for authentication, but I’m looking to move a few of them behind my own reverse proxy so I can bypass file size and data transfer limits imposed by Cloudflare. Also privacy.

Loops Joins the Fediverse

Switched from Safari to Vivaldi on my MacBook Pro, and I’m very pleased with the experience so far.

It’s snappy, the UI is excellent and there’s none of that Liquid Glass shite on it.

Will be making the switch across all my devices soon!

Something that worries me, is that everytime someone tries to prop themselves up by putting down others it's doomed to fail, there's no way Affinity isn't going the way of Adobe. Also that is something that worries me greatly about the fediverse, especially Pixelfed and Loops, their whole indentity is shitting on what they copy. Mastodon can be little better on that front but so much of Mastodon discussion is shitting on anything that isn't Mastodon. It's super toxic.

As they saying goes, "Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king."

Finally set up my domain and email stuff so I can resume my degoogle migration. I decided to stick with mailbox.org in the end (🇪🇺) even though I still have some issues with their UI/UX. You get 50 email aliases when you set up your custom domain and that's going to be plenty for me, plus of course I can still keep using the mailbox.org domain for a bunch more if I want to. The other option I was considering was fastmail and while their inbox is bigger and I think they offer even more aliases, it's also more expensive. And I'm using like 600 megs of my 10gig mailbox so I don't see myself ever needing more space there.

Now the decision I need to make is, what kind of aliases am I going to be using. Generate some random stuff? That's kind of been my go-to before the custom domain, but with a domain I could do like xbox at customdomain.com style addresses too.
Maybe I'll come up with some kind of dumb theme, so for like Loaded (cdkeys) I'll just make the alias "unloaded", and like aliexpress could be something like "espresso". Eg not exactly the thing I would use it for but some weird thing to make my inbox less boring. :toucan:
