I'm facing a conundrum. English is the language that I share with the majority of people I interact with here in the fediverse. I mostly follow tech people, and I believe my followers are also mostly tech people.

On the other hand, my mother tongue is Catalan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language) and the best thing that can happen to a "minority" language is having people actually use it.

🎉 BREAKING: Now you can spend six days not understanding IP certificates in multiple languages! 🚀 Because who doesn't love navigating overly complex tech jargon in Hungarian and Tamil? 🙄

6-day and IP Address Certificates are Generally Available

Short-lived and IP address certificates are now generally available from Let’s Encrypt. These certificates are valid for 160 hours, just over six days. In order to get a short-lived certificate subscribers simply need to select the ‘shortlived’ certificate profile in their ACME client. Short-lived certificates improve security by requiring more frequent validation and reducing reliance on unreliable revocation mechanisms. If a certificate’s private key is exposed or compromised, revocation has historically been the way to mitigate damage prior to the certificate’s expiration. Unfortunately, revocation is an unreliable system so many relying parties continue to be vulnerable until the certificate expires, a period as long as 90 days. With short-lived certificates that vulnerability window is greatly reduced.

SelfHosting week2, phase 1.
Setup: Hostinger provider, KVM2 VPS plan. 2 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB storage, Debian 12, YunoHost 12.1.39 stable, WordPress 6.9 branch.
WordPress procedure, I assumed it had to be the easiest, where I am mostly skilled in; obviously, it wasn't.
First of all, because YunoHost installs a plugin called "Companion auto update" which gives an error just on admin page. F-off to it. In that case I deactivated it through terminal, but I found the error's origin thanks to an LLM which interpreted the log for me. If I were unexperienced with web sites advanced configurations, I couldn't have figured it out.
My current multilingual approach on production website, has been a very satisfying experience but I'm noticing it requires too much attention in long term; full-site editing (gutenberg), manual template switch for each English or Italian post, some custom code to manage search and taxonomies. But any deep maintenance could break everything.

So I decided to follow an advice from @2ndkauboy a German blogger who wrote about MultiLingualPress, plug-in connected to MultiSite WordPress platforms during Advent period in his "Plugin Advent Calendar".
Having a VPS now I assumed to be 100% free to perform Multisite and began to build it: YunoHost's WordPress installer asked me if I wanted MultiSite or not, I confirmed YES.
The first obstacle was it did not work as I desired: my idea was to get "domain.extension/" as main site while "domain.extension/english" as second language website but YunoHost refused to place WordPress into the main directory, namely subdomain.domain.extension/, with multisite setup on.
So I removed WordPress from @yunohost by command: "sudo yunohost app remove wordpress"
Re-installed through the same script, sudo yunohost app install wordpress, this time answering "NO" to multisite option, and it accepted to provide the / directory as location.
Enabled MultiSite manually by editing wp-config.php file and installing it, then added extra-lines in the wp-config as well, after the network creation, using subdirectories for multisite setup. YunoHost uses nginx, so I went to modify the subdomain's WordPress nginx configuration; in that case as well, LLM helped me.
But then came trouble: I was logged off WordPress admin. No way to recover the password, no way to access its dashboard.
So, I gave up.
Tried another day: remove, re-install, set MultiSite manually. This time I used another e-mail address and when I got stuck, I managed to reset its password. But after setting main and secondary web sites, the result was wp-admin on main site worked, while /english/wp-admin returned an error: "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS".
No way to make it work at all!
So, I resigned. Removed, re-installed with multi-site on natively, by setting the path to subdomain.domain.ext/wp/
having /wp/ and /wp/english/ seemed to be the less evil.
In the end the too_many_redirects error was still there, and disappeared only when I added this string:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
into the nginx WordPress-specific configuration, under the "location" setting.
Not bad, I assumed it was OK.
But installing MultilingualPress, the plugin suggested by the German blogger of before, wp-admin returned a critical error. Maybe a database, or something else.
Increased the php memory to 256M in wp-config.php and the multilingual press then resulted as active, in the network setup.
So I tried to connect the two blogs, setting related languages and trying to flag relations one another.
But nothing worked. The relations weren't flagged, and going to network / plugins, returned an error again.
So, in the end, I've resigned at the moment, to create two subdomains. English and Italian. Where I have two separate WordPress installations.
I'd like to try again the Multisite experience, though.

#SelfHosting week 1, phase 4. FINALLY.
The main architecture is up and running now.
Lemmy, WriteFreely, Castopod, today I'll get WordPress multisite running; my current site on shared hosting, runs a singular website where I created multilingual through "FullSiteEditing" WordPress feature; but it's quite difficult to maintain in long-term so 2 sites with 2 languages will make it better.
Now I have upgraded my hosting plan to Hostinger kvm2, and associated my VPS to the huge lifetime 10TB cloud I have, for podcasts. PCloud, through rclone. Next phase will be WordPress, then maybe to point various services to the right domain (plusbrothers.net and not .online). Most passages have been done via command line, and to find the right commands I've used google gemini. Unfortunately for some features, American (big) tech has still been useful. #accessibility #selfhost #activitypub #blog #multilingual #blind #WordPress

I was using pdflatex to generate receipts for product purchases on my website, and I found it didn't have very good international multilingual unicode support. I found wkhtmltopdf, which works great for me. On a digitalocean debian server, I'm producing receipts that closely mimic my on-line HTML receipts in 16 languages. I highly recommend wkhtmltopdf.

I'm looking at statistics on multilingualism among USians. Apparently 3/4 of USians are monolingual. I can't find detailed statistics, but I'm pretty sure the 1/4 are almost entirely immigrants and the children of immigrants. I suspect that among white, non-Hispanic USians whose parents were born in the US, monolingualism is probably 95% or higher. Is it lower on Mastodon? #language #bilingual #multilingual
