Evan Prodromou<p><strong>Social Web FOSDEM Wrap-up and Next Steps</strong></p> It's been more than a week since the last event at #SocialWebFOSDEM, and I'm just now getting to writing up some summary thoughts and follow-on notes. We had three big planned events at FOSDEM, so there is an overwhelming amount to think about, and take-aways to discuss. The biggest take-away for me was: we needed this. The Social Web developer community came together in person for the first time in a while, and it was remarkably fruitful. For those who weren't able to attend in person, or […] <p><a href="https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/02/10/social-web-fosdem-wrap-up-and-next-steps/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">socialwebfoundation.org/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">2/10/social-web-fosdem-wrap-up-and-next-steps/</span></a></p>

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 48 ✨</p><p>Yesterday when I got back from <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/fosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSDEM</span></a> I found an email in my inbox that gave me a mini-heart attack: a message from my VPS hosting company saying my service had been suspended for running over costs / my card being declined.</p><p>The email looked absolutely legit, formatting and branding-wise. But I'm not a fool! I didn't click on any links, just closed it and logged onto my VPS account from another device. I checked billings and resource usage and everything was normal. Ouf. So it was a targeted phishing attack (someone who went through the trouble of looking up my hosting company and finding my contact email address, right when I was traveling and publicly posting from FOSDEM).</p><p>Nice try scammer! But you didn't fool me.</p><p>Thing is, realistically speaking I <em>could</em> have consumed too many resources. I'm at 75% RAM usage now. As soon as I stop paying for a Ghost(Pro) plan next month, I will upgrade my VPS. And please prevent me from adding another Fediverse app, I'm SOOO tempted to self-host <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> too, after re-falling in love with it during a demo at <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/socialwebfosdem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWebFosdem</span></a>.</p><p>Anyway, today I hit a milestone of sorts: my first experience updating <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YunoHost</span></a> AND 3 different apps (<a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/fail2ban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fail2Ban</span></a> <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> and <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/ghostio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GhostIO</span></a>). Everything went smoothly and my system diagnostics dashboard is all green – just as I like it.</p><p>This self-hosting journey is really empowering and the best antidote to my frustration/rage towards Big Tech oligarchs. You can't control my Fedi homes!</p>
