is it booting up a VPS to install mastodon time? maybe...
while simultaneously installing Plex on a raspberry pi from source to try to get custom 5.1 to stereo downmix settings with alsa, and watching Leverage. it's a flitting-attention kind of day
There's a bunch of ruby libraries with native dependency libs that aren't installed by default and don't tell you what the library packages are in the masto server deps. Might pull req them into the docs when I'm finished installing on this fresh 20.04 LTS.
ok oh shit it's time to tell it the instance name y'all. I know it is wise to use a subdomain under the main one. What should it be?? ??.cathode.church
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@s0 hmm why is it wise to use a subdomain?
@f0x if you get a masto server into an unrecoverable state either by accident or by shutting it down, bringing it back different on the same domain will break federation massively, basically meaning that domain is hosed forever (or at least for some years). but with a subdomain you can make a new one if needed
