@chuck It's a general purpose VPN, wireguard.com/quickstart/
which combines well with a cheap vps somewhere. After you set it up, you have your homeserver and vps in a private network, and you can just use nginx to proxy_pass to the internal ip.
This is how much of the heavier pixie.town services are run, like Mastodon and Matrix, tunneled through my beefier homeserver

@chuck I feel like just using Wireguard would be easier, and more stable. It's really an amazing piece of software

minor bicycle accident 

I drove over it, but luckily was able to land at least partly on the grass. big toe and knee hurt, but im fine

I like the smell of storm etc but fuck this piece of tree that was hiding on the dark bicycle path

finally received the new camera, so was time to transfer everything to the new pink frame, also replacing one of the motors that was acting weird

fun little PSA for twitter users:

twitter is auto-banning people who post the "shut the fuck up terf" pic with an anime girl holding a gun

so yep, there is an algorithm out there that specifically tracks that image and bans people for using it :V

anyway, i frequently hear from people who have said that Pleroma has literally helped people make new friends, and that without Pleroma and the wider fediverse in general, these people would likely have already committed suicide.

when i hear things like this, it validates to me that we are doing the right thing, even if democratizing access to the fediverse means that assholes can use the software for throwaway troll instances.

Taiwan has a 'digital minister' that actually knows here stuff, and they're setting up ways to combat disinformation (fake news) without censorship, but keeping an eye on when it arises, and fact-checking/providing correct information as fast as possible

my homeserver setup got about a 100% sketchier, but its fine it keeps the temperature down and I have backups

lewd joke 

cat goes meow, demon goes "fuck me harder Mommy"

@dukhovni @grainloom yeah, sadly the only useable homeserver implementation is quite heavy still.

Riot has come a long way since though, with their 1.0 release and gui redesign it became a lot nicer to use, and alternative native and web clients (like mine, Neo) are also starting to become viable for useage

@dukhovni @grainloom Id be curious about your gripes with Matrix, as I'm actively trying my best to improve that platform

@Linda I really like the shiny new stuff but they completely botched performance and other shit :/

Wow so apparently if your instance is behind Cloudflare's web application firewall and someone posts something that looks like a Unix filepath you will receive a 403 when trying to send the toot!
