Speaking of #JDLL, some of you may remember that I had the honor of speaking at the 2025 edition, invited by the awesome @yunohost team to share my experiences self-hosting with them.

I asked my husband to tag along and bring our daughter so she could see me speaking on stage... and see that mamma does cool stuff outside the house too.

Well, my daughter brought up Lyon and the conference on the way to school the other morning. I asked her: "did you have a good time?" and her immediate response was: "I didn't understand anything you said!"

Me: "Well, it's normal, I talked about grown up stuff."

Child (4 then, 5 soon): "But what did you say?"

And then I proceeded to try to explain the concept of #selfhosting and #digitalsovereignty and how empowering it is to use a tech stack independent of #BigTech platforms... in an accessible way that she would understand.

It was SO DIFFICULT.

I probably failed spectacularly and she still doesn't understand. But it made me think that it'd be worth trying to explain this to older kids... like pre-adolescents or in their early teens? Maybe a project for another time.

Edit/add-on: my daughter asked me to speak about the Pink Panther or Bluey next time so she could understand 😂

Does anyone have Phanpy UI and Elk UI production Docker Compose installation instructions?

#SelfHosting week 0, phase 1B: DNS records settings. Performed @_elena 's instructions on her "self hosting for newbies" part 2. Except for the post-install as I run it through terminal and not through web UI. For an ms-dos-born it's easier to perform a simple command such as "yunohost tools postinstall" rather than go to web, then type, then search for the various UI elements.
Everything went smooth, except for letsencrypt at first. But in the end it seems to have worked. It got stuck because hostinger panel didn't get one suggested parameter, the numeric 3600, every record has a parameter which is 3, 4 or 5 numbers.
Created the domain and subdomain to point it to yunohost admin interface, and then obstacle came.
Opening browser to subdomain, just returns "connection timed out".
Checked for nginx parameters through yunohost terminal, using the desired Sudo commands.
Then, "sudo yunohost diagnosis run"
"sudo yunohost diagnosis show --issues --human-readable"
and I got explanation on reverse dns which was wrong.
After that, I searched on the web (and on AI, I admit) the position on hostinger panel to set them, and I found "set tpr record"
placed the desired domain name.
And now it's time to wait for propagation. But what about the "connected timeout", in the article posted in blog.elenarossini.com no such obstacle was mentioned.
I'm back to my 20s when I spent the night (it's almost 4 in the morning), learning commands.
Last but not least, accessibility issue: I'm using an app called WebSSH pro, downloaded on app store. Set it up, and VoiceOver for iOS does not read the keys I press on keyboard so I'm very slow to type commands there. Pc is better. In a few hours I'll try hostinger's terminal.
UPDATE: I have just found I set one DNS wrong, now I'll wait for it to propagate. Next update in some hours. I placed a useless number. Such as 72.162 (wrong) instead of 72.62 (right).
Like when you start developing on your own and everything crashes due to a missing semicolumn in a string of code.
