In eigener Sache: „Established 2023“

Zwei Jahre. 24 Monate. 730 Tage. So lange gibt es diesen Blog – und das nur, weil ich eigentlich nur für mich die Mediatheken durchforste, um Filme zu finden, die etwas riskieren. Filme, die weh tun, irritieren, begeistern, wütend machen. Filme, die nicht glatt gebügelt wurden, Filme für meinen ganz privaten Eskapismus. Ich schreibe darüber, weil sie mich beschäftigen. Weil ich etwas sehe, das nicht untergehen sollte im Strom der Flachware. Und weil ich glaube, dass Filmkritik viel mehr sein kann als Konsumberatung.

Our 2025 Roadmap: Building the Future of WordPress Federation – #ActivityPub for WordPress activitypub.blog/2025/06/11/ou

Vielleicht nutze ich ab 2026 eine zweite #WordPress Installation als meine hauptsächliche #Fediverse / #Microblogging Instanz. Vorteil: Ich könnte sie wirklich selbst hosten. Bin gespannt was 2025 noch so kommt.

ActivityPub for WordPress
The 2025 Roadmap

»Our goal for this year is to finalize the full ActivityPub experience — so that WordPress can be used as a first-class citizen of the Fediverse.«

This means:
- publishing to the network
- following
- reading
- interacting
- moderating
And all in a way that feels natural for WP users.

Really exciting what @pfefferle, @obenland and the other contributors are creating.

I can’t know definitively yet…I have to babysit my server and keep an eye on logs. But, I think I may have found the culprit for why I get timeout issues with #ActivityPub and #WordPress.

It might be PHP-FPM. If you’re using Nginx, this is kind of a “glue layer” for making PHP stuff talk to Nginx.

I host most things with Nginx, which sometimes requires configuring workarounds with traditional PHP applications. I was digging around in my logs during the latest server slowdown, and I got some error messages about pm.max_children and pm.start_servers being way too low.

Anyway, raising the amount seems to be helping? More word on this as experiments continue.

I currently pay $120/yr to host a #WordPress blog at A2Hosting. Seems kinda steep. Looks like WordPress.com could be as low as $48/yr if I don't need plug-ins.

Other options I should consider? I remember there was drama with the Automattic CEO last year.

I want to keep my old posts and comments without a major migration to another platform which I expect means options like a static site generator are out...

#AskFedi do you know anyone with a federated Wordpress site who uses it extensively? Not just for publishing straight to the Fediverse, but also in a social way (aka as a fedi profile)?

I've run into a few roadblocks with mine and I could really use some inspiration 😊

UPDATE: thank you for all the superb recommendations. I don't think I need any more, I got a clear picture of what I need to do. I'll share more about this soon... Now I need to take my little one to the park ❤️

@Crell @alina it's not ignorance.

It's the fact that #PHP is still a pain in the ass and that every software I know that uses it is a burning piece of shit when it comes to security and updates.

  • Seriously, I know people who go full terminator when you ask them to deal with shit like #WordPress or any other php shite and they'd rather deal with #Java and #Tomcat than to ever touch it.

And sadly I agree with them: Because php feels like #IIS Extensions but worse...
