Few things in life are as joyous as a summer movie night with friends and caramel crisps. I wonder what they're watching!
I am doing a combo of #AuGhost and #AvianAugust, where the ghost bun meets all the beautiful birds of Hawaii.
DAY 11: Bag + ʻAnianiau
Believe it or not, I have one more account on the #Fediverse (it's starting to be quite a few). My blog/newsletter about the Setouchi Islands is now on the Fediverse (as it's on Ghost and all). A big shout out to the wonderful people at @spacehost who made it possible.
Here it is:

Now, I need to figure out what to do with the microblogging account that comes with it (maybe only stay on topic? As opposed to here?)
i'm starting a #Ghost blog that will feature #AntiFascist art
temporary domain is https://degenerate.mymidnight.blog/
as soon as as all the particulates amass in the proper formation the domain will be degenerate.art
the nazis hosted a museum exhibit with that same name to highlight art that was forbidden under their regime
tired #DeviantArt
wired: #DegenerateArt
collaborators and submissions are welcome, encouraged, desired
@cmccullough As I absolutely dislike Wordpress, some other open source project with a considerable community was need. Something which is easily dockerized, has a reasonable footprint and a modern code base. And if I remember correctly, the documentation was also good.
Just realised they just published #Ghost Version 6 with #ActivityPub Support!

@dangillmor @taylorlorenz #Ghost ( @index) is insanely more functional and NOT neck deep in Nazis - I love my subscriptions to @404mediaco , flaming hydra, & others on there
@stux I think I read that #HeatherCoxRichardson said she can't leave substack because of the size of her following (~1.7million) do we think #Ghost can handle that? How could we convince her?
Those of you who self host Ghost, how has your experience been? I now run a self made blog that mostly is to learn how to do everything but sometimes I want to just have a ready made package. #selfhosting #ghost
Ghosts can be difficult to dislodge. In this particular case, 16 horses were needed to drag the ghost away.

Are you playing secret agent again and think I can't see you?
Let’s say I was considering self-hosting a Ghost blog as a replacement/upgrade for my very-long-running wordpress based blog?
Are there good import tools for thousands of posts, images (cloud hosted and not) etc?
(I've seen this article at Ghost, what are people's experience? https://docs.ghost.org/migration/wordpress)
Inquiring FediMinds want to know! :)
And if you have opinions on Wordpress vs. Ghost, I’d be interested in hearing them. I don't have anything against WP per-se. Just interested in new kinds of blogging stuff.

People, please don't use #SubStack
Please use #Ghost

You can let your site be hosted by Ghost or even better..
..self-host!
Setting up a site is super easy and you can even use membership features like I do here: https://stux.me/membership/
For every platform with a shady CEO there is a self-hosted alternative that is waaay better
#FOSS FTW!
Hello Fedi friends,
Please stage an intervention. This is a special “my adventures in self-hosting - edition” toot.
So I need to learn #Docker in order to move my #Ghost blog there - possibly - as it’s the only way to let it federate (per the official Ghost.org documentation).
If you’ve followed me here for a while, you might have caught a running joke “please don’t tempt me to get a THIRD #VPS”.
This is my mayday, begging you: “please talk me out of getting a third VPS.”
I was happily doing online research wondering if I could install Docker on my #RaspberryPi5. Sure, it’s possible. Good to know.
Then things escalated when I started wondering: “hmmm how much would it cost to get a new VPS for Docker testing purposes?”
I checked out the website of my current VPS provider and noticed that you could get a basic VPS and pick an application that would come pre-installed. Docker is in the list of applications with a thumbs up next to it. Oh and I have a $20 credit after a commission. Awww the temptation!
I’m currently with my extended family in the middle of nowhere, with no WiFi in the house, one bar of 5G in most places (at best) and a laptop that refuses to connect to my phone’s hotspot. I’m typing this on my iPad (which is cooperating, vis-à-vis tethering). It’s my 12th day in this location, with 4 days to go before I return to civilization. I’m easily tempted because I’m going a little batty.
Please please please tell me that it’s better to learn Docker on my Pi 5. It’ll be waiting for me at home in a few days
Did I imagine it or did Ghost's ActivityPub support have a way to migrate followers before the 6.0 release?
