Ghost has made ActivityPub available to all of its Pro subscribers.

Interesting how they name and describe it:

"Social Web - y/n
Federate your site with ActivityPub to join the world's largest open network"

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89

Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.

This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?

Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS

Why?

My current setup:

5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).

Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?

I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.

What would you do?

And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

Friends I once knew now drift through neon valleys beyond our reach. In that eternal synthwave sunset, they've found peace among geometric mountains and digital stars. I sometimes glimpse them when the light hits just right. They dance through pixel rain and retrowave streams, their laughter echoing across dimensions. In that glowing forever, they remember us as we remember them—across the distance, connected still.

Ghost is hiring a staff product engineer. They’re building a better ecosystem for writers as an alternatives that cater to nazis. So…get some.

This is a good piece on #Flipboard joining the #Fediverse.

It touches on #Ghost, #Medium, and #WordPress, and doesn't mention traditional #publishers. But it makes me wonder. Will traditional publishers ever join the Fediverse? What will it take to persuade to them try, even as an experiment? Who will go first? How can we help?

I was not prepared to wake up to a new #Ghost song, but here we are. The song is great, and growing on me. But more exciting than anything else is of course the reveal of Papa V and the nameless ghouls. Absolutely love the aesthetics.

Wanted to start a convo with @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz from Ghost and @angus@socialhub.activitypub.rocks from Discourse about AP resource discovery.

A common use case from fediverse users is to be linked out to a site, and attempt to "bring it in" to their local instance/app of choice. This is done by taking the browser URL and pasting it into their site/app's search bar, or equivalent.

For example:

• Ghost: https://activitypub.ghost.org/warp-factor-5-mr-sulu/
• Discourse: any forum topic

For context, last night I discovered that Ghost's latest blog post didn't make it into NodeBB, due to a bug on my end. I attempted to resolve it via URL but there was no AP resource at that URL. I ended up having to query the instance actor (which I happened to already know), and looking at the outbox.

To my knowledge there is no way to find a Discourse post or topic's AP resource ID without having a local Discourse account.

Would it be possible for you to send back an HTTP 301 Moved Permanently (or similar) if the Accepts header contains one of the AP-related types?

N.B. This probably has some overlap with @evan@cosocial.ca's HTTP Discovery Task Force, a 308 is recommended there.

Firefly's "Blue Ghost" #mission attempts a #lunar #landing, while NASA's website throws a #digital #confetti of links and buzzwords to confuse your browser! Amidst the #chaos, you'll find every mention of NASA's existence—because, let's face it, this mission is clearly about cramming in every possible keyword for good measure.

I've suggested the blogging platform #Ghost to @rbreich since I often see Substack links

I'm also using Ghost for https://stux.me

Since I'm not new, just new to mastadon.art, this will have to do as an #Introduction

Good morning Fedi friends!

It seems like on the 22nd day of the month I manage to achieve #selfhosting feats

Dec 22nd: I installed #GoToSocial on my Debian VPS thanks to the magic of #YunoHost: @elena

Feb 22nd: after many attempts and 3 wipes of my Ubuntu VPS (following botched installations) I finally managed to install #Ghost https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01JMPN122E41Q1G9280WZMD1RF

I think I can sit back and relax now for the rest of the weekend. LEGOs here I come
