Here are some notes if you want to do it yourself. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">I used the smallest VPS option. Currently, that’s “VPS 200 G8”. It costs like 2.69 Euro, but you might be able to find some way to make it cheaper. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">After ordering it might take some time until the server is up and ready. By default debian was installed in a GPT, we can ignore that. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Before we can install our custom ISO we first must upload it somewhere. This is done via FTP (you get the access data from the SCP), I used windows default file explorer (ftp://user@address, enter password). Copy the 9front ISO in /cdrom. This will take some time. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Meanwhile you can delete the virtual disk and create a new one. You need your SCP password for this. This step is necessary to remove the GPT. Of course you could manually reformat the disk, but deleting the disk will save time. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">In the settings you can virtually insert the iso as a DVD and verify the boot order (DVD first). Start up the machine and switch to the web VNC display. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">At this point you can proceed with the default 9front installation described in the fqa. Don’t forget to install the MBR and activate the partition. Otherwise there are no additional special steps besides manually configuring the /lib/ndb/local after installation. In my case I made an auth server. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Currently it seems to work fine. I installed the machine today, so there might be some issues I didn’t find yet. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.50in"></p> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <title>changeblog feed — social media²</title> <id>https://sirjofri.de/changeblog/1592917245/</id> <link href="https://sirjofri.de/changeblog/1592917245/"/> <updated>2020-06-23T15:00:45+02:00</updated> <content><![CDATA[<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.50in"></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.21in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt"><b>changeblog feed — social media²</b></span></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.21in"></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.21in"></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.42in"></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.21in"></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.50in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">RSS is still a thing. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0.05in"></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2em; margin-left: 1.00in; text-indent: 0.00in; margin-right: 1.00in; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Yes, there are more modern alternatives, like Atom or fancy json feeds.

I can write documents, check my email stuff, chat with people, and step by step it becomes more usable. The community is helpful and provides more applications. The system runs stable, the user interface is consistent and good to look at.
