You’re right, that’s an option. I could set this up at my router, this way it would be almost indistinguishable from IPv6 via my ISP.

Its really not that hard. Sadly, my ISP doesn’t offer IPv6 yet, but for my vServer, enabling IPv6 was just a checkbox during creation. Then, you need to make sure that the service (e.g. webserver) also listens on the IPv6 address and maybe tweak the configuration of the webserver to actually serve websites via IPv6. Also, check your firewall settings. Lastly, you need to set the DNS AAAA records and you’re done.

Its quite unintuitive how hard it is to melt snow.

Lenovo has the “Lenovo Tab M10 TB360ZU” for sale at 210€, but I cannot find it on the US website of lenovo. However, I would not recommend it as it only has 4GB of ram.

After that, I couldn’t find any other options (except those cheapish noname tablets)

Maybe the Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro 5G? In the EU, it costs about 280€.

I mostly try to read the docs, but sadly good documentation is pretty rare.

I’m currently following this guide to setup caddy reverse proxy with coraza web app firewall.

But be warned, this whole rabbit hole of WAF isn’t trivial, some protections don’t work well with some apps (e.g. portainer triggers some rules about system command execution) and it needs some tuning. I personally set it up to learn more about WAFs because I believe it will help me in my career, but I would not blindly recommend it to everyone.

Approaches like crowdsec and fail2ban seem much more suitable for selfhosters – and keep your server software updated.

Great idea. Would be even better if we turned lemmy into an AI only social network. Thousands of bots will create content, vote and comment. And all this could be done without user interaction.

Finally, even the super niche communities will have hundreds of bot comment per day, and all human lemmy users will leave voluntarily (thus reducing the need for moderation).

I doubt using secret managers is popular among self hosters. These products are targeted at larger deployments, not homelabs.

I’ve installed coraza web app firewall with OWASP ruleset this weekend. I must admit that it wasn’t as easy as I expected it, but it now (mostly) works. I had to give up with nextcloud though.

RClone to a cloud storage (hetzner in my case). Rclone is easy to configure and offers full encryption, even for the file names.

As the data is only uploaded once, a daily backup uploads only the added or changed files.

Just as a side note: make sure you can retrieve your data even in case your main system fails. Make sure you have all the passwords/crypto keys available.

It also doesn’t even make sense to buy up all the possible domains. It would just be a waste of money, and surely someone could come up with a domain name that you didn’t think of (fediverse-network.com).

“web” would have sounded nice and clear, we also didn’t name FTP the World Wide File Transfer Protocol (WWFTP).

It annoys me how www. is pronounced in english. Really, double-u double-u double-u dot example dot com?

Usage requires less computer knowledge than answered

Oh no!!

Store important telephone numbers on your phone. No need to do a google search everytime you call your doctor/dentist/mechanic/whoever.

Oh no, what a terrible way to spend the weekend :(

I’m sorry for your loss! It’s great that you try to be like him and let his ideals live on.

I think meaningful commenting only works in trees, for example the old mailing lists.

With classic linear forums, I quickly loose track of different discussions. Good luck finding replys to a comment on page #3 when the post has 300 comments.
