🚀 New Video Tutorial!

I’ve released a complete walkthrough on deploying OctoJoom on AWS LightSail — including Docker, Traefik, Cloudflare DNS/SSL automation and Joomla 6 auto-deployment.

If you're building Joomla sites with modern DevOps tooling, this tutorial will save you hours.

Lightsails for Interstellar Travel - Photonics for Propulsion, Thermal Management and Stability: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsphotonics.5c00450 -> "Substantial scientific and technological advancements have enabled lightsails to be the frontrunner for feasible interstellar spacecraft, making the #lightsail endeavor one of the most promising and exciting scientific pursuits in the twenty-first century. Looking forward, further progress must be made across numerous fields of science in order to bring lightsails to the next stage of viability. [...] We see the lightsail project shifting the paradigm of space exploration in the twenty-first century, inspiring generations of scientists at the boundaries of scientific and technical capabilities."

Did AWS Lightsail used to offer FreeBSD on its menu of OSes? I looked in on the service recently and didn't see that among the choices.

Photonic Lightsails are our Best Shot at Reaching Another Star

Chemical rockets are loud, noisy and can only get us so far. If we want to reach another star system, we’ll need something better—either super energy-dense fuel to improve the efficiency of chemical rockets or a way to push spacecraft using beams of energy, like a photonic lightsail. A new paper looks at the pros … Continue reading "Photonic Lightsails are our Best Shot at Reaching Another Star"

While #lightsail did more of the work, and made it fairly easy, #digitalocean left me feeling are more in control. Glad I made the switch. #blogging
Measuring Lightsail Performance in the Lab

Sailing has been a mainstay of human history for millennia, so it’s no surprise that scientists would apply it to traveling in space. Solar sailing, the most common version, uses pressure from the Sun to push spacecraft with giant sails outward in the solar system. However, there is a more technologically advanced version that several … Continue reading "Measuring Lightsail Performance in the Lab"

Anyone running #drupal on #aws #lightsail here? I want to install a module, but the composer commands I run don't seem to work. Is there something different about how these systems are installed vs others?
Lightsail環境でVPCピアリングを使ってALBに接続する - Qiita

はじめにLightsailを使うとまずWAFが使用できない。ちょっとセキュリティ面があれだよねーという感じではある。Cloudfrontを使えという話ではあるのだが、ちょいとめんどうがくさいな…

Well this is driving me mildly crazy. My created-from-scratch Lightsail Wordpress instance keeps redirecting to the old Wordpress.com site. Unless I'm in a private browser window. Then it works. I've cleared caches, web history, etc. in safari but no luck. #wordpress #lightsail
