cos<p>Turning off a memory today; we shut down the server a few hours ago as part of saying farewell to the Tau Ceti co-operative, which provided affordable web-hosting and email to hundreds of punters for twenty-something years. We hosted various famous and not-so-famous sites through those years, and moved our server through various Melbourne data centres - sometimes at almost no notice! I made some fabulous friends through helping out, but I can’t deny my shoulders feel a little lighter now that it’s over. </p><p>My lessons from this experience are these:</p><p>- there’ll be no shortage of people with opinions about what you should do, but look for the ones who’ll pitch in to help<br>- it’s ok for responsibilities to shift over time - indeed, it’s better if they do<br>- you don’t have to serve everyone - sometimes it’s far more helpful to help people move on if they’ve outgrown your co-op’s mission</p><p><a href="https://robsnarski.bandcamp.com/track/turning-off-a-memory-merle-haggard" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">robsnarski.bandcamp.com/track/</span><span class="invisible">turning-off-a-memory-merle-haggard</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CoOperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoOperatives</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hosting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>community</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/memories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memories</span></a></p>
Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 95 ✨</p><p>Saturday morning, I naturally wake up at 6:20am (as usual) and proceed to spend almost an hour researching reverse proxies, caching utilities and CDNs for my self-hosted Ghost blog… to prevent the “Mastodon Hug of Death”.</p><p>I’m now scared at the idea of sharing a link to my blog that comes with a preview card, because it’s like I’m “DDOS’ing” my own site (words from someone’s blog about this issue, sorry I can’t properly quote them).</p><p>I thought that once my site was up and running, it would be smooth sailing from there. Aw how naive I was 😭</p><p>It’s worth pointing out that I have 3 Wordpress sites - all federated - and even when I share blog posts that get popular on Mastodon, I never run into server issues. So this is a little moment of gratitude for my web host, its native CDN and my Wordpress caching plugin. Ouf. This self-hosted Ghost blog is a little cursed I tell you!</p><p>I still have a paid Ghost(Pro) plan and I’m having serious second thoughts about keeping it / dumping this whole self-hosted thing. Again.</p><p>It’s not a good feeling to be afraid that a popular blog post could take my whole site down… especially when I’m away from my computer (aka half the day, when I’m with my child) or when I’m asleep. This never happened on my Ghost (Pro) plan, even when I had 100+ boosts on a blog post.</p><p>Silver lining: I’m learning new things.</p><p>Oh and I don’t mean to be a downer on a Saturday morning. I’m sorry. On the upside, I’m super grateful for all your supportive messages, your bug reports and your links to solutions. This is truly the best community ❤️</p><p><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/mysocalledsudolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MySoCalledSudoLife</span></a></p>

It's just that I couldn't justify spending so much ($31/month) on a free, non-monetized blog that I am capable of self-hosting. It's 6x the cost of my Debian or Ubuntu VPS.</p><p>And I kept getting close to the edge of 1000 members, which would have increased my monthly payments.

From what I understand <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> followers count as members for Ghost, so someone who gets a sizable following on their federated Ghost site would have to pay more.</p><p>I'm sure many people will love this feature (it's fantastic!) but it's not for me.

Stefano Marinelli<p>Mastodon will no longer support Redis Namespaces. The reasons are fully valid. Redis (or, more specifically, Valkey or KeyDB) is lightweight software that is easy to install/manage, so separation is always a good thing. <br>However, I read that many admins will face problems because they use Redis "in the cloud" and, therefore, have a single instance. Unfortunately, this is also a side effect of the "cloud," meaning the loss of control over your own software. </p><p>On FreeBSD, a thin jail with "Redis" takes up very little space and resources. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OwnYourData</span></a> – in the long run – always pays off.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/34198" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d</span><span class="invisible">iscussions/34198</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RunBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a></p>

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?</p><p>I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.</p><p>What would you do?</p><p>And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans?
