I’d recommend you sign up for their mailer. I don’t have the link off hand but it shouldn’t be hard to find.

Again, ghost is actively working on this?

So two things

Activity pub is federation. So you’d be publishing to anywhere. Which as I said before, ghost is actively working on. They have a weekly mailer.

If your looking for an algorithm publishing centre, your going to find open source to be lacking. Generally speaking people who are looking for open source, don’t want the algorithmic feeding that your describing.

I self host ghost but they do offer a hosted version. It’s open source as well. They’re even working on activity pub integration!

While it used to be closed source the maintainer a couple years back decided to not make it a job, and open sourced, took down the hosted option, and nowaintains it as a side project open sourced.

Both Ubuntu and mint are debian based.

Sync the drive cache with the disk.

That assumes you don’t value your time spent dealing with troubles that come.

Like the other person said, it’s fine if you don’t, but for me it’s worth a little upfront cost to have to deal with less ordering new drives, putting the drive in the server, monitor rebuilding of the array, ect…

None of that is an excuse for lack of proper backups. Because even new drives can fail catastrophically.
