#Instagram kam nie infrage für uns. Aber wir sind jetzt bei #Pixelfed angemeldet und wollen da bald eigene Fotos hochladen und thematisch passende Bilder von anderen teilen. Falls Du auch schon da bist, freuen wir uns, wenn Du uns da auch folgst.

my adventures in #selfhosting - day 89

Oh #PeerTube, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.

This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?

Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS

Why?

My current setup:

5€/month Debian VPS with #YunoHost, where I’m self-hosting #GoToSocial (this account), #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Fail2Ban and #LinkStack.
5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) #Ghost blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).

Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my #Debian VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?

I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.

What would you do?

And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of #Hetzner…

Ich jetzt so bei #Pixelfed! \o/ https://pixelfed.social/p/AusderUBahn/806506189181018183

Wir haben uns neulich übrigens auch einen #pixelfed Account gebastelt. Aber weil wir so stinkfaul sind und jedes Mal im Studio vergessen Fotos zu machen, gibt’s da nix zu sehen.

As many of you know, we are working on something big since January!

With Mastodon we reached a milestone for open networks and now we want to bring you an European alternative to Instagram.
The Fediverse's replacement for Instagram is Pixelfed. Starting next Friday our Pixelfed instance can be used by image enthusiasts to connect with the rest of the Fediverse.

In the @newyorktimes:

"#ActivityPub has also led to a wave of start-up efforts such as #Mastodon, a microblogging service that now has more than 14 million accounts connected by a network of over 14,000 host computers, as well as start-ups like #Pixelfed and #PeerTube, distributed services that offer features similar to #Instagram and #YouTube."

A Long-Shot Bet to Bypass the Middlemen of #SocialMedia

Viele wissen es ja bereits, wir basteln seit Jänner an etwas Großem!

Nachdem wir mit Mastodon einen wichtigen Meilenstein für freie und offene Netze erreicht haben wollen wir in diesem Jahr auch eine europäische Alternative für Instagram aufbauen. Das Fediverse bietet dafür die Software Pixelfed, mit unserer Instanz instapix.org können sich ab nächster Woche alle besser vernetzen denen Bildsprache lieber ist. Das tolle ist - im Fediverse bleiben wir über unterschiedliche Tools in Kontakt.
