👾Question about #SelfHosting without a CDN :
How long does it take for you to see the monkey vídeo in this post (10 MB) ?

It uses a a frontend in São Paulo and a backend here at home in Rio de Janeiro. And obviously federation may play a role for secondary viewers.

Good morning Fedi friends and happy Saturday! 🌈
File under: I'm such a clown sometimes. I did something extremely foolish yesterday (installation-wise) that bricked my whole YunoHost with Sharkey instance. This is not the fault of YunoHost or Sharkey, it's just me being the biggest airhead.
So this morning I nuked that VPS (Hetzner makes it so easy to start and stop) and, armed with a stopwatch, I wanted to see how long it would take me to order a new server, log in, install YunoHost and set up a main URL and a subdomain to log in.
I had this unique challenge that we're going hiking in the mountains so my time is very limited this morning.
How long did it take me? A grand total of 14 minutes.
The perks of being a fool is that you repeat the steps so many times that you go from being terrified (what do I have to do now?) to just sailing through the steps.
Time went like this:
1m30s: logged onto Hetzner, ordered a new server (Debian v12)
4m50s in: logged in, increased security, ran apt update and apt upgrade
5m in: installed YunoHost (thanks #curl)
7m30s in: with YunoHost successfully installed, I got into their beautiful graphical interface to continue the post install
9m30s in: post installation complete
11m 20s in: began tweaking DNS records for the main domain and the logging in subdomain, installed certificates, etc.
14m23s = all done, tripled checked that everything is working in incognito mode (it is) 🥳
Wishing you all a great day. Time to go hiking for me and my fam 🗻

On Oct 20, AWS went down and took 1,000+ services with it. One DNS error, one data center, millions affected.
The internet wasn't meant to be this centralized. You have alternatives.

Dear Fedi friends,
If you can set aside 11 minutes today, I highly encourage to watch @vkc's latest video: "I stream nothing, and I am happy."

It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and should be shown in media literacy and digital literacy classes everywhere. Actually, everyone should watch it (I'm about to send it to my family and friends).
My favorite part comes up towards the end. Veronica eloquently explains (9 min 27 sec in):
"I feel like we owe it to ourselves and to those who follow us to try and break free of algorithms, which tell us what we should like, who we should believe, and how we should feel about it.
It may sound melodramatic and maybe it is, but I see the increased dependence on algorithmically-driven entertainment as a symptom of that larger problem: uber-convenience that separates us from our critical thinking.
We're learning to abandon reason for small decisions, and wouldn't you know it, now it's easier to ignore reasons for the larger ones.
I'm not here to tell you what to think. I was raised in a "mind-your-own-damn-business" household and that's where my head is at. But I do want to implore all of us to think critically about how streaming media, autoplay, and the algorithm are impacting us."
I'm super proud to be a backer of her Patreon and I cannot thank her enough for this incredible video... which comes at the perfect time, as I was already planning to set up #Jellyfin next week.

Sobreviví al upgrade de Proxmox 8 a 9
El momento más temido de todo selfhoster se llama upgrade. Especialmente cuando se trata del sistema operativo que soporta todo tu sistema. Y sí, ha llegado ese momento para mí. Uso Proxmox en mi servidor casero. Es un sistema operativo basado en Debian, especializado en virtualización. Permite un manejo bastante sencillo y versátil de los recursos, y como está basado en Linux, […]
