I think it's a little sad that there doesn't seem to be a fediverse replacement for Tumblr. Like, blog based and with reblogs. I like the format. If someone goes and makes one I might even host an instance

Sorry if this is a silly question, but what is a good imagehost to use for embedding things on AO3 if the art in question involves lolisho/underage? I know a lot of imagehosts don't allow that because some countries have dumb laws about fiction and I'm not sure what would work

Alright so the answer for that is that I do not personally know of any free to use, open for sign-up, dedicated image hosts that allow lolisho/underage to be uploaded. Twitter/X might? I'm not up on their current TOS.

I am pretty sure there are some that do, but I don't know what they are. I double checked and squidgeworld imagehosting does not allow them. And bluesky does not.

With that said, what you can do is purchase your own domain and host the images yourselves.

This is relatively easy, and relatively cheap. You can get a website and hosting for about $7 a month hosting cost and like $15 a year to own the domain. I own like 4 domains and it costs me under $30 a month.

If people who see this do know of a website that will host the content that anon is looking for so that it can be shared on AO3, please let us know!

Interesting things going on with Bluesky at the moment

Hello, I'm sorry I'm bringing up something you've explained in depth before (I know you have I just can't find the blasted posts) but I would absolutely adore a guiding hand to your post about setting up a personal blog (like your rookerystudios).

Hey, no worry, this is the kind of topic we don't mind answering more than once since we know it helps people out 😁

So, setting up a personal site/blog like rookerystudios is I would say a medium level of easy!

Rookerystudios (and our other sites) run on a "CMS (content management system) - basically a kind of standardized GUI for creating your website instead of hand coding it in html/java/ etc). The CMS we use is wordpress. It's free, open source software.

(Don't confuse wordpress the CMS with wordpress.com, which is a commercial blogging website owned by the same guy who's fucking up tumblr.)

To get started using wordpress, you need to purchase web hosting (basically renting storage space for your site on the web) and a domain name (the name you type into the top bar on your site. Mine is rookerystudios.com). Most web hosts, including the one that I use, let you install the wordpress CMS in a couple of easy clicks!

I use a host called nixihost, which is who I recommend. They're very affordable, and I've always found their customer service department to be prompt and helpful! We've been using nixihost for more than five years now.

Hosting for your website on Nixihost will cost you $6 per month, which equals $72 per year. I think they might give you a discount if you buy in yearly chunks instead of paying per month, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Your domain name will cost you $13-$15 a year for a .com, .net, or .org domain, and potentially more if you want a different domain.

I think sometimes nixihost will give you a free year for your domain name when you sign up for hosting, so you only have to pay it when it's time to renew.

But even if they don't, to buy a website with nixihost it'll cost you about $85 for a full year up front, or just under $20 if you only want to pay for the first month of hosting to start with.

That's right you can get all this started for $20. Yes, I have impulse purchased websites before, that's why I own japanifornia.net.

Once you've bought your website you'll click a button that says "log into CPANEL, which is the tool that runs the bare bones of your webiste.

Once you do that you'll scroll down to software.

Click wordpress, then click install, and it'll ask you a series of set up questions.

You can go ahead and hit "quick install" without any issues.

Once it's installed you'll go to (yournewwebsite.com)/wp-admin and log in.

From there, it's just like being logged into a blogging website like tumblr, though with some more options.

You can install plugins that will do different functions, and themes to make your blog look however you want!

If you get this far and want some tips on how to use wordpress, please let me know because we have literally been using wordpress software since like, 2009.

I hope that was helpful! Please feel free to ask more questions, we used to do this as a job XD

Nextcloud success!

It's been a while, but I've finally succeeded at spinning up something that caused me to start this journey to begin with: Nextcloud! Unfortunately, it's very slow and it's kind of eating up a ton of resources from my homeserver. I'd like to add another RAM stick to it, but we all know how that went last time. The RAM works just fine in my friend's computer, so I'm not sure if the socket is bad in the motherboard or if it just doesn't play nice with what else I've got in there. Oh well.

If I want to start adding new computers to the Proxmox network, it's going to have to be old laptops I can grab from the thrift store or something. Unfortunately, I have to get some money to dump on a new NVMe drive for my Pi since the one I have is SATA or something and it won't accept it. Adelle will take it, but Lenny won't.

There are also a few more servers I need to get going, like Calibre-Web, Atsumeru, etc. We'll see how that goes in the future. Soon the only thing left for my gaming PC to do is the media server, which seems to be the only thing it's okay doing without getting irritated.

Fun fact.

You could pay out the nose to 8~12 streaming services

Or

You could buy a bunch of used PC parts on eBay, slap a free os like truenas or open media vault on it, and then run something like jellyfin or Plex on top of that and you have your own in-home streaming service that costs you an extra buck fifty on your power bill.

Our internet finally works!!!

However my fears have come true, as I don't have an ipv4 address of my own, just ipv6.

I really want my Webserver to be at home instead of having to rent some vserver.

Does anyone have any experience with webhosting when you only have ipv6?

I'm honestly kinda thinking about switching contract over to one that works with DSL. It'll be the same price for half the speed, but I should be able to get my precious ipv4 with it, and I also already have the router for it so it wouldn't really cost anything extra

Everything is Migrated

Daily Blogs 318 - Sep 18th, 12.024

Finally ended the configuration for the Capytal's Forgejo instance. And spent all day migrating all the projects from GitHub and Codeberg to the instance, with mirroring configuration for backup and ease for outside contributions.

Hopefully this week I can start the prototype of the next project, will make it with SvelteKit, since JavaScript it is faster to develop. But the after it, everything will be rewritten in the normal stack of Go, HTMX, Templ, and vanilla JavaScript (with JSDocs).

Hey there! I'm making a music player called Chora! After noticing the lack of good-looking free media players that can connect to a self-hosted Navidrome/Subsonic server, i decided to why not make it myself, and this is it after a few weeks in development. This is just the Now-Playing screen, but I'll share more screenshots once the app is looking better. Once it's more finished i will be releasing it on Google Play for FREE! Thanks for reading my post, suggestions are welcome, I will try to implement as much of them as i can.

Any Hubzilla admins know why I don't have any add ons showing for my instance? Any help would be appreciated.
