Introducing Indie Web Server 8.0.0: install the server and start serving a secure static personal web site in literally seconds

Video demo + short post: https://ar.al/2019/04/16/set-up-a-live-static-personal-web-site-in-seconds-with-indie-web-server-8.0.0/

I hope it makes your lives easier. This is one of the earlier pieces of the puzzle in the Hypha project.

(It took two weeks and a couple of false starts but Version 8.0.0 introduces native binaries for Linux and macOS. Production use via startup daemons is supported only on Linux platforms with systemd.)

I've seen a few things like "this is the end" or "this was 600 years old and now it's gone" or stuff,
and,
like. Notre Dame was built 600 years ago, yes, but it was and has been redone and changed and reworked almost constantly since then.
Most of the statues are from the 1800s. The spire which just burned down -- although there had been A spire at its construction -- was from the 1900s. Many of the iconic windows have been reconstructed twice over now -- at least once because of fire, even.
Notre Dame is a LIVING BUILDING, and it will be rebuilt and restored -- and redone, slightly, because things change.

This isn't the end of it's 600 year history. It's just another page.

v0.9 brings full federation, remote follows, network timeline, APIs for 3rd party clients like Fedilab and much more!

It will be shipping after a few more commits!

Side note: if you are my ages IE creeping towards middle age like a slug on a cabbage leaf, please please listen to younger people (ethnicity, skin colour, sexuality, gender expression etc)& support the shit out of them! It's our job!

My granddad said a thing about racism I still remember:
"Young people get to do dumb shit, thats the point of being young - but if you're old you've had time to learn and have no excuse being an arse! Never respect age if it comes with a side order of ignorance!"

We are on the look out for someone to join the ArchLabs team.

I can't promise payment, prosperity or even a simple hug (I'm sure I can send some e-hugs some how).

Hey friends, my birthday is coming up and I'd like to buy a new tablet for art. Unfortunately I make $8.5USD/hr working at a mall kiosk and most of my income goes towards paying down debt (a lot of it from college) and full price medication as I have no health insurance.

If you'd like to give me a little gift,

If you contribute, DM the email you used (or other proof) and I'll make you a drawing. :)

I think it's high time to learn systemd! The dust has settled, it's not going anywhere.

I just watched this talk, and I really liked what Benno had to say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

That entire talk demonstrates a good attitude and made me think the speaker is probably a nice person.

#HelloWorld! The Swiss no-log VPN has officially joined the open source, federated social media network. As an organization focused on giving people greater control of their data, we wanted to join a social media network that respects this. We’ll be sharing toots about service updates, new VPN projects, and news on privacy.

#HelloWorld! As active members of the open-source community, ProtonMail supports open source projects like Mastodon. Mastodon’s decentralized nature reminds us of the days when the Internet was free and not under the control of a few monopolist giants. Our followers can look forward to toots about service updates, new projects, and news on privacy.

"The move is a sea change for Google and a further blow to the online ad industry’s longstanding contention that web tracking is mostly anonymous. In recent years, Facebook, offline data brokers and others have increasingly sought to combine their troves of web tracking data with people’s real names. But until this summer, Google held the line."

We just received a generous donation from the Pleroma Foundation, which brought us above and beyond our Proof of Concept goal on Open Collective!

Thank you so much!
