    @elettrona I'm sorry you had these issues Elena! I wish I could help you out in person... The first time around, a year ago, I remember having to wait 2 full days for DNS records to correctly propagate... which seems ridiculously long now. DNS was my only issue then, everything else went smoothly. Now with a year of practice on my back, I can set things up in minutes. The joke "it's always DNS" is pretty appropriate.Super proud of you for doing all this!

    This article by @parisba is why #CommunityHosting and #SelfHosting need to be normalised. They are the only way we can stop scenarios like this happening:πŸ“° https://hey.paris/posts/appleidYou might think this couldn't happen to you, but it could happen to anyone. It's especially scary as most big tech companies are in repressive countries.It's much easier and cheaper than you think to make your own online services. I've done a guide for non-technical people at https://growyourown.services#Activism

    Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.This is a really magical, special place.Happy New Year, everyone!
