"Infra stack: from AWS to on-prem. AWS was becoming too costly, so moved over to dedicated data centers and bare-metal machines."

That's not something you read every day.

Rabbit's R1 sounds like a major security disaster waiting to happen

“There's no artificial intelligence or large action model in sight”

"What's even more alarming is that they ask you to login through their web portal, which is just a virtual machine connected via NoVNC. They also expect you to fill in your private passwords on their VMs. To make matters worse, they store the user sessions on their machines without any additional layers of security.”

So excited to hear that the Ghost blogging software is going to support federation via ActivityPub! https://activitypub.ghost.org/

If you sign up for updates, they have a survey where they're asking for feedback. Now's your chance to get your suggestions in!

Cool to see Ghost taking this step, while Substack is over there trying to build walls around their product to trap people in (eg https://www.thewrap.com/substack-follow-feature-problems-subscriptions-down/)

Ghost's post is also how I learned that Buttondown is working on ActivityPub support! 🙌 Exciting times.

@mvilain no, you've got it right. it's not a centralized service like substack or patreon; you sign up per-newsletter.

molly0xfff,
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

@wraptile @viq it has its flaws, and i would probably go for a static site if i was just using it for blogging without newsletter functionality. but if you want to send emails or have subscriptions, it works pretty well

After a few restful days, Cookie is back to trying to eat trash on the streets. Probably fitting that she almost went out because of a digestive disorder. Her vet notes say, ‘patient has a history of dietary indiscretion’

Trash is truly her passion no matter what I feed her.

Me: I think I need more flexibility than what mastodon offers right now.

Them: What do you mean? Mastodon is super flexible! What do you need?

Me: Well I don't like X and I'd rather have Y.

Them: Oh, yeah it definitely doesn't do that. But you're sort of wrong for wanting that anyway. Glad I could help!

@polotek POSSE! https://indieweb.org/POSSE

I've had very similar feelings to you, which is largely why I set up https://www.mollywhite.net/ the way it is

Getting closer to migrating Securing Laravel to Ghost, but now there is a new issue: Substack manage the Stripe account, so I can't link Ghost to import subscribers.

Hopefully there is an easy fix. 🤞

@valorin @willpower232 happy to help if you get stuck!

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

@valorin @willpower232 I believe I only connected stripe once I had disconnected Substack from my stripe account (https://www.citationneeded.news/substack-to-self-hosted-ghost/)

my guess is the ghost concierge service should be familiar with this process
