Nigel<p>So my fellow Fedizens, having become 'sufficiently suspicious' of the Firefox browser's leaning into the faux AI nonsense, I have for now jumped ship to Vivaldi as many others have. It works fine but... I dunno... summat doesn't sit right... all a bit 'happy clappy' for me maybe? All I want is a safe, secure browser, with no built in links to any of the Central Scrutinizers and good functionality. Sharing bookmarks (via my own server) would be nice but not essential... <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askfedi</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>browser</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a></p>

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 92 ✨</p><p>My self-hosted <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ghost</span></a> blog is almost ready for its debut. I have successfully re-imported all the media and fixed internal hyperlinks. Yay! (It looks and feels exactly like the old one, so most people won't notice a difference I think).</p><p>My current - soon to be former - Ghost blog (<a href="https://blog.elenarossini.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blog.elenarossini.com</a>) which runs on a Ghost (Pro) plan will be active for another month... but I will stop payments in mid-April and thus my blog will be deleted immediately by Ghost.</p><p>I need your advice about something: is there a way to redirect traffic from subdomain1 [dot] elenarossini.com to subdomain2 [dot] elenarossini.com? With a wildcard maybe, so that all traffic to posts with a URL associated to subdomain1 are redirected to the new subdomain? Aside from the subdomain, the rest of the URL is identical.</p><p>And no, I don't want to tweak my self-hosted Ghost installation to use the old subdomain name. I prefer the new one for several reasons.</p><p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (Apologies if I had asked this before, but I tried some techniques with another blog and I wasn't successful).</p><p>Thanks!</p><p><a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/redirect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redirect</span></a></p>
