Today I decided to consolidate my website to just one place, i.e., the place where it originates, and is built each time: Github. I’m mostly doing this because I’ve allowed some of my bills to get out of control, and I’m paying for things I really don’t need to be....

Back in the day, we’ll say 2017? I think, or I’m pretty sure that’s when I first joined Mastodon. It was back on my mastodon.social days, because, well, I’m not sure there were as many privately run instances, and this was before I launched a GNU Social instance (wish I...

Yesterday I posted about launching a Sharkey instance, and liking it so much, I decided to move to it, and move off of the managed Mastodon instance I had. Now that I’ve done that, it’s time to get back to work in figuring out how I can integrate my Sharkey...

Today I was messing around with a Linux VPS, like you do. And I thought to myself, “I wonder what it would be like to launch a Sharkey instance?” And so I did! And, while I have had prior experience with Sharkey … I like to run things myself. I...
