Introduction sorta
#introduction
...to a new instance, that is. Outsourced Math went kaput and Friendica My Portal became irretrievably unusable (and I like Friendica generally speaking but find instances of that few and far between) so now I hope to settle in the Rogue Project with hopes it lasts longer than the other two Friendica instances I was on.
I'm a Google Plus refugee who began in the Fediverse via Diaspora, only to find that to be highly problematic; Mastodon, I find quirky but that depends on the instance too, by the looks of it. Currently on the highly curtailed Qoto instance for Mastodon, so still looking around albeit casually for a new place for that.
I occasionally play #9OclockHashtagGames and participate in #monsterdon, and I do not boost posts with links to paywalled media (rare exceptions, tho) or YouTube anything until they change their policy regarding ad blockers. Paywallers and ad block blockers need to pay me in advance for promoting anything of theirs online. They don't get a free promotional ride on my dime.

Thanks for the Follow--actually, that made the Mention post button show up. The post button is still missing, so still working things out.
The mitigating factor in hashtags is that one cannot feasibly navigate the Fediverse without them. Another is that GPlus refugees will be ale to locate me because that's a community we used to have in common, and we wish to re-connect. One of the hashtags in my Profile is in fact vintage GPlus: #SkyHunters and there will be others I'll add as I think of them...such as #Twikipedia .
Hydrogen Powered Trucks
SwRI has successfully created a hydrogen engine for 18-wheelers. Now what?
A San Antonio-based research nonprofit built a hydrogen engine that could power commercial semi-trucks — and potentially lower emissions.Lindsey Carnett (San Antonio Report)

I believe it is a good thing to be there and actually listen. Though do not expect immediate results. Healing takes time and you do not heal from years of trauma in a discussion. If we expect more than what is realistic then we could become jaded and believe we cannot help. This would be unfortunate.

I agree completely. Often times people say "It happened for a reason..." and they are right. Just not the reason they suppose. Confirmation Bias is extremely hard for us to get past even with the best of intentions.

To VPN or Not VPN
Why VPNs are a WASTE of Your Money (usually…)
Commercial VPNs probably hurt your privacy and security more than they help. Behind the layers of marketing sits a darker side of the industry. Ask yourself ...YouTube
Not So Sensitive Content Contemplation
I am not sure why. Some users go crazy with labeling everything as Sensitive Content. I guess they do not realize if you highlight everything on every page then essentially nothing is highlighted? Well, let them be them and I will be me. From here on out if it is labeled Sensitive Content I am ignoring that post. Not because it has sensitive content, rather because I am sure it does not. I will also start ignoring users that post everything they post as sensitive content.
I know it should not bother me. It does though so I will just make it go away.
Is Concern Over Security Overrated?
The average user may believe that all the hype they read about security on the internet is overrated. To be honest some of it is and some of it is just to sell you a product you do not need.
In the case of Internet Facing Services this is not the case. If you have an internet facing service then you have to be sure your server is secure. This is why I insist on SELinux on my servers. AppArmor is easier to configure though not as configurable as SELinux for as many cases. I would also strongly suggest you never disable SELinux (or AppArmor if that is what you are using) to ease installation and implementation. It is not worth the risk. Just learn to use your Gnu/Linux Hardening system to its fullest extent. Do not disable it.
I have attached a screenshot of an ssh session to my VPS. As you can see every few seconds an attack fails. This is why the security is required.
I just do Friendica and Matrix at this point. I checked out Mastodon though I am way to verbose, as you might have noticed, to live with only 500 characters 😀.
Yes, I kind of figured that though I do not see the point of running both a friendica and mastodon instance. I cannot afford another VPS and I would rather not divide up the resources further than I already have. Friendica really uses a lot of memory too.
Server Down
I am not sure how long the Server has been down today. I went to login and got a 503: Service Unavailable. I am looking into what caused the issue.
After discovering that I could not connect to my instance, though the server was still up. I did the most reasonable thing ;). I rebooted it. That seems to have fixed whatever took the service down. I am looking into what caused the issue and how to prevent it in the future.

Welcome.
This instance will be around for a while or I hope it will 😉. I work full time so I do not always have as much free time as I would like to improve the instance.
I have done a lot of work to get it stable after the default installation. This has a lot to do with the fact that I do not like Ubuntu and have a lot more experience with Red Hat based GNU/Linux platforms than Debian. So I chose Rocky Linux 9 as my OS for my VPS where my instance resides. The developers of friendica use Debian based systems so I had to do some additional work to get my LAMP setup with all the PHP extensions required. I then had to trouble shoot some issues and adjust some settings for a more stable experience. The defaults are horrible.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to make your experience here more comfortable.

There is no such thing as a best distro, only the distro that is best for you. Personally I use only RHEL based Distros and Arch and LFS.
I would much rather go through the work to install Friendica on Rocky the Open Source version of RHEL than to deal with Debian based systems again. That is just my opinion and fortunately I am competent enough to be able to make that decision. So I had to compile a few extensions from source and enable a few additional repos. A small price to pay to have an environment that I am more comfortable in.

Self hosting is not exactly a piece of cake 😉. And even after you got your Instance up and running you would not be able to control more than what Addon is available unless you are a developer. Then you still run into propagation issues as you have no user base.
