i finished writing blog post on how i'm using a free tier VM (i'm frugal) to expose web app(s) running self-hosted on my local network to the rest of the Internet.

u can read it via my microblog.pub (ActivityPub) https://pub.ennui.page/articles/ccb66c2/exposing-web-apps-from-my-local-network-using-oracle-cloud-free-tier-caddy-reverse-ssh-tunnel

or via my listed.to blog https://blog.ennui.page/41850/exposing-web-apps-from-my-local-network-using-oracle-cloud-free-tier-caddy-reverse-ssh-tunnel

it is probably too long. i wanted to refine my notes for myself, but also for it to be useful to someone doing stuff like this for the first time, since i was bouncing between different blog posts and articles and other Q&As figuring this out myself. in case u actually try to do this and have any questions lmk

(sorry repost, fixed something)

anyways, i think i am interested in joining a fediverse instance that is not running off a sbc in my bedroom, and does not occasionally stop processing things until i delete some poisoned activities from the database.

does anyone have any suggestions for cool servers i should check out??

ok lmao i'm actually getting tired of having to ssh into my server to troubleshoot Why did my instance stop handling incoming AP activities (it's usually like something relating to the user on the other server being deleted and i check the logs and fumble around the sqlite database a bit and take blind guesses at what entries to delete from the database LOL, i'm honestly impressed that i haven't fatfingered and deleted a whole table and irreparably destroyed my instance. like i guess this is kind of what i do for work sometimes, except not in production)
