You Can't Follow Me
I empathize with the author and found the post to be a interesting and concrete example of what it's _actually like_ to try to publish a blog to Mastodon, which is something that I have thought about and read about in abstract. So, thank you sir for writing this up.
One thing to consider would be to try to use Caddy [0], or a tool like localias [1], as a local https proxy. You might be able to run both the mastodon server and your blog software on the same computer and refer to local-only urls like "https://blog.test" and "https://mastodon.test" and have everything work.
I'd be curious to know why the author didn't try this, they seem to be quite knowledgeable of other web technologies so I have to assume there's a problem that I'm not seeing here.

Free and open source software projects are in transition
Pretty good overview from Baldur — I don't always agree with everything he writes but this seems relatively correct.
One question I'd ask him (and anyone else reading) is: what are some other options for monetization?
Over the last few weeks I had three different VCs reach out to me about some of the open source projects I've been releasing, and ask me if I'd thought about making a business out of them. I told them that no, based on the problem the software was solving, I didn't see how I could adopt open-core or companion-saas business models, and I wasn't sure how else it could be done while keeping the code open source.
Can anyone suggest a viable business model that would allow:
* Code remains at least source available, ideally open source for non-commercial use.
* I can charge for commercial use.
* Actually doing the licensing is reasonable, ie no spyware or phoning home from the tool.
Wouldn't need to be perfect, I understand that if the code is open source a company could easily fork and use it without paying me. The idea would be to make it zero-headache to pay me for a license if the code is being used by a funded team.
The projects:

Easily monitor your Server from anywhere
Many good reverse proxy solutions currently exist on the market such as ngrok and Cloudflare tunnels. They give one the ability to reliably run a tunnel and ensure it does not go down. They also offer the ability to securely access their links using whitelisted IP addresses or by using HTTP Basic Authentication.

Cloudflare Tunnel: a free ngrok alternative for exposing local Rails apps to the internet
These is a very common problem. Luckily, it's been solved already. My go-to tool for this was ngrok or localtunnel. Both of these tools are great, but they didn't fit my needs perfectly.

We need to make our WhatsApp API accessible on the internet so the trigger.dev cloud service can connect to it. We can do that by running ngrok in a separate terminal.

Monitoring Celery in Production
This means that Cronitor must have an endpoint that it can reach. Normally, we can't do that when developing on a personal machine. For this tutorial, however, we can use ngrok to establish a tunnel to our local Django application for testing purposes.

There are so many weird suggestions in the comments. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned ngrok https://ngrok.com/ (there are many competing alternatives as well). It makes exposing local service over HTTPS trivial. It's been used heavily in most of my engineering orgs.
