I don’t care that the fediverse has a ton of traffic. It may not have the most users, but it definitely has the best

I’m way less mad about Kbin having issues than I ever was at Reddit

I don't use DynDNS but I do have two HAProxy servers, one locally and the other on a VPS. The VPS has a cron job that renews the certs every three weeks, and my local server rsyncs them to the right place every so often.

Then, on my pihole I send requests for my services to the local IP but on the same domain. Because the certs are looking at the domain name and not the IP the cert is valid both on my LAN and from the Internet.

To anyone who finds this thread, here's how I ended up doing it:

First, I started a Windows machine in EC2 and used these instructions to enable SSH via RDP. Then I created my own custom AMI and used that to deploy on.

I'm disappointed that this is how I had to do it. There must be a way to take a standard Windows EC2 AMI and deploy it without RDP.

[Reddit spokesman Tim] Rathschmidt added that Reddit's Moderator Code of Conduct "isn't just about what mods can and cannot do; it's also about protecting our users' right to assemble and discuss topics they're passionate about."

You do not have a right to assemble on a privately owned platform, regardless of what the mods do.

The replies to their other posts asking for mods are pretty hilarious.

I am glad to see someone knowledgeable is likely to take over /r/canning. People can get sick or die if things are preserved incorrectly.

Don’t let folks know about Kbin or it’ll start having load issues.

Considering the stranglehold that huge platforms have on users, it makes a lot of sense for organizations to have their own fediverse servers, with communities and access they control.

For example, a lot of governments use Twitter as a way to communicate in disaster situations. But since Elon lets anyone with a credit card have a check mark and bans people on a whim you can't trust that the account is a real one or that it won't be cut off in time of need. A Mastodon server would solve both of these problems.
