Did you notice? The registration was temporary open today and we welcome all new users! 🥳

While we still have a plenty of free resources, we might switch from an open registration model to a recommendation / mentor model where already present users can invite new users.

This is not yet fix but a possibility to avoid misusage and abuse where our primary goal is still to provide resources for people interested into BSD based systems. Maybe also closer integrations with BSD communities like the BSD Cafe ( @stefano) could be an approach.

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”

It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.

Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.

#sovereignty#selfHosting #gardening

@thibaultamartin I self host too and I also host other people. However, I don't do as much of it as I used to. Hosting other people is a huge headache so I let that business fade out.

I never made a serious effort to grow my #hosting service. It ran it as a social enterprise.

I didn't just offer good hosting to them, I also offered them support and advice they could trust. That kind of service is something that I should have valued more and priced in a way that was more fair to me.

Offering artisanal hosting run by an expert who knows you, your site, and your goals is something I wish I had more time to do. I'd love to see other people build a business from this model. My advice is to be sure to price it fairly to yourself and clearly explain the value you are providing.

#managedhosting

Ich suche ein schlankes CMS zum selbst hosten mit einem LNMP. Was nimmt man denn da heute? Gerne auch ohne Datenbank. Wordpress ist viel zu groß, und auch nicht mehr wirklich bedienbar. #bludit hat mir gefallen, aber da scheint es keine Entwicklung mehr zu geben, das Git ist sehr ruhig. Wichtig ist, dass die Autoren mit einem WYSIWYG Editor Beiträge erstellen können, die direkt online sind. Also MD und SSGs sind keine Option für mich. Themes dürften auch noch gerne einfach anzupassen sein. Also eigentlich so wie Wordpress mal vor 20 Jahren war.

#RUNBSD! But BoxyBSD now also starts to support #Linux! We're starting soon with the Linux support for already present users, offering free boxes:

* #AlmaLinux
* #Alpine
* #Debian
* #Devuan
* #CentOS
* #Fedora
* #Gentoo
* #OpenSuse
* #OpenEuler
* #RockyLinux

Just next to our core OS like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #MidnightBSD and #DragonflyBSD (and #illumos). This should also make the step easier to compare and test different scenarios where BSD provides a different behavior compared to Linux systems.

Thanks to @gyptazy for the implementation!

Hi @lproven,
nice! I'm using several #CGI​s #RFC3875 for personal (scaled to n=1) web applications - be it (ephemeral) #QRCodehttps://qr.mro.name, #GeoHashhttps://mro.name/g/u28br conversion, a #nobd guestbook or a personal #ActivityPub server @aSeppoToTry or a hacky video-office-hours reservation system.
They're #rootless deployments running on #shared #hosting (except the qrcodes).
