This newbie who just celebrated 100 days of #selfhosting was able to install #Apache and #Varnish on her #Ubuntu VPS (to prevent the "Mastodon Hug of Death" for link preview cards on her self-hosted Ghost blog). She's very proud of herself for all the sudo commands she successfully ran today. And she's weirded out talking about herself in the third person, so: I did it YAY.LOVE LOVE LOVE this Linux / self-hosting journey I'm on. Thank you for all your support & encouragement ❤️

@_elena hey, congratulations! I used to be a big Varnish guy, in the pre-HTTPS-everywhere days. I know that magical feeling when you get the rules working just right and see performance take off like a cheetah. 🤠🍺👍

@_elena I remember those early days with fondness (and a bit of exasperation as well). After decades of self-hosting almost everything I needed over time, I'm relaxing in retirement watching everyone else doing it now.
