A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 1: reasons + requirements

I can't believe my #selfhosting one year anniversary is coming up next week. @npub1sa4k...ett7 truly changed my digital life - for the better. This is a 1st post in a 4 part miniseries intended for real newbies. And now excuse me while I go hide in a cave expecting irate replies from sysadmins about certain things I wrote 😅 #MySoCalledSudoLife #selfhosting

I just published a new blog post about my #selfhosting plans for 2026 and... I remembered to add this pic (a scan of my own handwriting) at the bottom of the post. It's now more important than ever: "written by a human" 🔗:

🏕️ my adventures in self-hosting: day 357 (big picture edition) 🖼️

#NoAI

Dear Fediverse, thank you for being a safe haven from AI slop. This morning, I checked out Pinterest for the first time in forever and saw an image purporting to be a LEGO set that was obviously AI generated - yuck! Then on Reddit's popular page there was a video compilation of people saving children from terrible falls = AI slop. YouTube's homepage: a short video showing a child and her dog covered in mud = AI slop. What was I thinking? I should visit #Lemmy and #PeerTube instead... #NoAI

My article for the Lama Déchaîné (in French) 🇫🇷 « The Fediverse gives power back to creators » 🚀

And it’s a wrap for the Social Media Strategies track at #TechWeekBologna 🇮🇹 I’m INCREDIBLY grateful to @npub17cp5...jvf6 for giving us an opportunity to talk about the #fediverse on the main stage. And it was so cool to finally meet @npub1qhpk...tkpv IRL. He’s so inspiring! I hope we piqued the curiosity of people in the audience. About 1 out of 100 people had previously heard about the fediverse! 🌈 viva il #fediverso ✨

Watching a presentation about social media and engagement strategies at Tech Week Bologna. The speaker - a really charismatic man - just said: « Think about content you’ll publish, without boosting it with an ad. Even if I know organic engagement is super difficult… » Me (thinking): « Hold my beer. Or rather, hold my espresso and let me tell you about the Fediverse » I’ll be up on the main stage speaking precisely about this in an hour … I can’t wait !

@npub1jc6u...7v67 I'm using Phanpy as my main fediverse app on my GrapheneOS phone (saved its shortcut to the Home screen) and I'm super impressed by all the advancements you added. The alt text preview for multiple images is simply phenomenal! 🏆 Thank you for all your brilliant work on it 💖

Good morning from DUMBO in Bologna 👋 🇮🇹 I just had the pleasure of meeting @npub17cp5...jvf6 IRL. Coming up today at 5pm: we’ll be on stage to talk about the Fediverse (il #fediverso ! )… in front of an audience of students and marketing professionals - who probably have never heard about it. Yesterday they had a full house with hundreds of attendees! I’ll try my very best to pique their interest 🤗 Wishing you all a great day!
