#ngix — Public Fediverse posts

Have you ever asked yourself how the BSD Café Mastodon instance was built?

Stefano has written here what he has done. You should have at least rudimentary knowledge of what a jail is in order to follow everything and at least a simple manner.

In short a jail is much more efficient than a VM, uses much less resources and it's easier to control

If you take the time to Study all the subjects, you will be a will to build a freeBSD instance of Mastodon yourself; all the information necessary Is provided Here and Deep to very Deep details you can dig up yourself

I have had an account on an instance where the System Operator had to shut down because the operational costs were too high to sustain the node. All proper precautions were made and the operator gave us more than six weeks to get all of our followers moved somewhere else. He also made sure that everybody got the message by sending it multiple times also through email. I've made an account there because that place was bot Friendly {https://botsin.space/} and I was going to Create a bot on that instance

However, since I put so few toots out there, on that account I didn't even bother to download them. And since I'm quite aware of high internet costs, I also make sure that I have accounts on different places because in the end somebody is paying for it either in cash or paying for it by using Surplus bandwidth and surplus disc area space.

We as Fediverse Community users should realise that nothing is free apart from Air and Water; everything else cost either Time, Space_Time or Energy, often a combination of the latter two.

I've just checked and https://botsin.space/ still seems to be up as a read-only instance.

Make sure that you always think about the data that you divulge to big companies. Use the Easy Storage knowing that they will use your data also even your copyrighted photographs.

Within the Fediverse it's easy to own your data, very easy, always remember that and be thankful

In this article Stefano explains to you how to use a web finger system so that people can always find your address

An important message here is that _you should always own your data_. So do not rely on cloud or web services to maintain your data. Always remember that many of those massive conglomerates use your data and sell it, literally sell it, or the metadata off it, to the highest bidder

Within the Fediverse it's easy to migrate from one server to the next, your followers will automatically follow your new account
