orcrist , to selfhosted in Which web server software do you recommend?

I hosted websites on my own hardware for 20 years and it worked out well Recently I've been using a VPS, and that has many benefits and drawbacks. Is it worth paying for the VPS? Maybe. That all depends on your situation.

orcrist , to linux in What are your must-have packages?

Depends on what the machine is for.

I'm as reliable as you pay me to be. Give me a 3-year contract with guaranteed raises and see what happens.

They already are, depending what you're looking for. A lot of the answers that I've found to take questions in the last few years are on obscure developer support forums.

orcrist , to fediverse in If Meta federates with the Fediverse, do my Mastodon posts (e.g.) show up on FaceBook?

I remember when Google Chat added XMPP support. I already ran my own server but some of my friends we're happy enough to use Google. And that was good for a while, but at some point Google had enough people running its own chat that it could simply shut off external XMPP traffic. That was a sad time, because we could have had a federated decentralized chat protocol that dominated the internet, much like email does for its particular purpose, and instead we got fragmented chaos.

The same thing could happen with the fediverse in various ways. So hey, if some commercial entity wants to run their own server, that's cool, but we need to keep reminding our friends of the dangers of relying on that commercial entity.

The best solution is to stop reading Canadian media. Those companies knew exactly what was going to happen, enough of them supported it, and they deserve to lose their readers.

Maybe it's not so mysterious. Maybe hotels in Russia should have bars over all of their windows to avoid such incidents in the future.
