 [Cloudron](https://www.cloudron.io/?refcode=b90d0ee382ac47ba) is a complete solution for running apps on your own server.
 
···
 The [about page](https://www.cloudron.io/about.html) also uses the term [[private cloud]].
 
 It's designed to run on Ubuntu LTS versions. The server interface will take care of keeping the Ubuntu operating system packages maintained.
-
-I run [[Commons Computer]] as my personal Cloudron instance.
 ## License
 The Cloudron code itself is source-available, with a [subscription license](https://www.cloudron.io/legal/license.html) required if you want to self host more than 2 apps and have full access to all features like email. Paying for the license means the team supports you in the forums and will help troubleshoot via email.
 
···
 
 * Cloudron license: $15/month, paid annually
 * Backup: $5USD/month
-* Hosting: $11USD/month
+* Hosting: $11USD/month[^hostingcost]
 
 Total: $31USD per month, $372USD per year.
+
+[^hostingcost]: This is a minimal VPS with 8GB of RAM. A larger VPS, or bare metal instance would cost more but could also support more services.
 
 For many services like email ($5-$10/user/month), file sharing ($5-$10/user/month), calendaring ($5-$10/user/month), you can quickly see that ~5 users of a hosted service will be more expensive than the hosting costs of a Cloudron powered server. If we benchmark $10/user/service as a typical service cost, Cloudron hosting can be much cheaper.
 
···
 
 You'll need at least one domain name and more likely will have at least 2, so add another $10 - $30 per year in domain registration fees.
 
-Cloudron will automatically [manage all your DNS settings for you](https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/) if you add them using a registrar that supports API access.
+Cloudron will automatically [manage all your DNS settings for you](https://docs.cloudron.io/domains/) if you add them using a registrar that supports API access. [[deSEC]] is a great no-charge open source DNS hosting provider.
 ### Email
 
 For production services of things like mailing lists, you may have trouble with deliverability of self-hosted email. You can [setup SMTP relay](https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#relay-outbound-mails) from a number of different providers. Any provider that provides SMTP services will work.

+---
+Mastodon is an open source federated microblogging platform, implementing the [[ActivityPub]] protocol.
+
+It has a Mastodon API that is not quite to ActivityPub spec.
+
+The [Mastodon documentation site](https://docs.joinmastodon.org) covers what a microblog and federation are:
+
+> Similar to how blogging is the act of publishing updates to a website, microblogging is the act of publishing small updates to a stream of updates on your profile. You can publish text posts and optionally attach media such as pictures, audio, video, or polls. Mastodon lets you follow friends and discover new ones.  
+>   
+> Federation is a form of decentralization. Instead of a single central service that all people use, there are multiple services, that any number of people can use.  
+
+The About statement on the Patreon from the main developer Gargron is also a good description:
+
+> I'm working on Mastodon, a free, open-source social network server based on open web protocols like ActivityPub and OStatus. The social focus of the project is a viable decentralized alternative to commercial social media silos that returns the control of the content distribution channels to the people. The technical focus of the project is a good user interface, a clean REST API for 3rd party apps and robust anti-abuse tools.  
+>   
+> The entire network is like an unlimited number of different Twitter websites, users of which can follow each other and interact regardless of which Twitter website exactly they are on. This has obvious benefits as there is no single company that has a monopoly.

+
+Downloaded and flashed [[Bazzite]] using [[Fedora Media Writer]].
+
+F2 to enter bios and select the USB key to boot from. Grub menu comes up, select install Bazzite.
+
+I have a Vantec Corsair 2TB USB-C NVMe drive kicking around. Rebooted with it plugged in, and it was detected. Looked at a couple of options of partitioning, or blowing away the Ubuntu Coolify install that is on the server right now, and decided to see if I can install Bazzite on this external drive and boot from it.
+
+Restarted and went into BIOS, and set boot order as Fedora (Bazzite) from external, internal drive for Ubuntu install, and USB key for 3rd boot option.
+
+Got some sort of MOK message, and hit continue boot.
+
+Woo hoo! Booted off removable drive! I have a Bazzite install. 
+
+Huh. So the amount of SteamOS / Linux compatible games really is quite small.[[Lutris]] is also on there, which is I guess where the Wine components live? More experiments tomorrow.

+A Python tool to download things from Google Drive
+

+
+After that, you can download any file from Google Drive by running one of these commands:
+
+```
+gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=<file_id>  # for files
+gdown <file_id>                                 # alternative format

+
+I also learned about `pipx`, which is apparently a recommend way for Python to install and run Python scripts in isolated environments. `apt-get install pipx`.
