As I mentioned a few days ago, Jess Franco made a whopping 16 movies in 1983. Cries of Pleasure was one of them. Night of Open Sex was the other. Night of Open Sex also has a Nazi treasure subplot. So... There ya go.

Good morning Fedi friends,

I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

My way of coping?

Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.

"A newbie's guide to self-hosting: GoToSocial part 1 (installation and set-up)"

🔗​: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-gotosocial-part-1-installation-and-set-up/

Basically a visual guide showing how to install #GoToSocial via #YunoHost and set it up with some basic security.

⏱️​ From start to finish, it should take about 25-30 minutes.

It's my act of resistance against tech bros... I love the idea of teaching people how to self-host their own social media instance, connected to the fediverse ✌️​❤️​ ​

Thank you @yunohost  and @gotosocial for empowering us all!

Today's #OverUnder 075 with @mre

He shares his thoughts about #TUI & #CLI, #textFiles, #Chrome, #Rust, and #currywursts.

he also replied to @afb's question.

And, we got a recommendation for two #books.

Per uno scambio più equo, vorrei portare qualche collezione nel profilo.
Iniziamo da questa sull'IndieWeb, ossia coloro che portano avanti con passione blog e siti personali.
Purtroppo non posso aggiungere tutti quelli che vorrei (alcune istanze non lo permettono), e come al solito mi dimenticherò di qualcuno.

Aggiungo anche, andando a rinnovare un precedente post:

One Small Step into Geminispace

When I first announced it, several people asked if I had any plans to make a #GeminiProtocol capsule. I wasn't really considering it at the time since I felt like I was accomplishing all I wanted to do with Gopher, but now I've decided I want to give it a shot. I installed Solderpunk's Molly Brown server (which I chose because it was the only one in Debian's repo) and, after much struggle with cert permissions, got it up and running.

For content, I went with the same thing as with Gopher: a gemlog powered by a snac-to-Gemini exporter. snac uses Markdown for formatting, which is of course very similar to Gemtext. I went back and edited my earlier blog posts to make them more Gemtext-like, which mostly meant adding header lines. The only real complication was inline links: I would need to strip them out of the Markdown source. Since I'm doing this all with shell scripts (as opposed to something like Python that'd probably work better), an actual Markdown parser wasn't really an option, so I decided to do it with a regex. The thing is, I'm not very good at writing regexes. After many, many fruitless searches trying to find an existing solution I came across a bash script that did what I wanted. The script itself was obvious vibe-coded filth, but it did contain a sed -E command that did exactly what I needed.

The exporter is a comically-inept hackjob and has a backslash-itis problem (which I imagine is coming from the JSON parser I'm using) but it does, somehow, work. Some day I'll see about redoing the whole thing in Python, but for now it's good enough.

My Illustrated Journal page (watercolor and pen art) for Apr. 18 - May 20, 2026: a rolling pin and dough; the buzzzzzz of a Cicada; two dried Blue Palo Verde seedpods that sound like maracas when shaken; a vat of black bean enchiladas; and my feet wearing sandals, in Tucson, AZ.

Open sourcing the codebase does not make X part of the fediverse. Worth saying plainly.

Fediverse is about the protocol, not the license (obviously). ActivityPub lets my server and yours talk to each other. A public GitHub repo does not, X stays exactly as centralized and walled off as before, just with visible source.

Lie or not, I honestly do not know yet. What I know is a promise is not a mechanism. No timeline, no reproducible build process, no way today to check that the binary in production matches anything published.

For us here, this changes nothing. Still one company, one server, one decision maker.

Screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk on X, posted July 15, 2026 at 11:56 AM with 7 million views. The tweet reads: Once we have completed our review for security vulnerabilities, we will make the entire codebase of X open source, with no exceptions. Moreover, we will invite third party reviewers to examine the system that is running to confirm that the open source code is what is running. Trust through total transparency is the only thing that should be believed. The post shows 5.9K replies, 13K reposts, 111K likes, and 5.8K bookmarks.

Working on a brand new post for my series "a newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost" - showing people how to set up their own #GoToSocial microblogging instance.

Sorry it's been taking a while: I started over when I realized most people use subdomains... and I'm doing a thorough step-by-step explainer that any newbie could follow - I hope 😅
