It’s a bit more complicated but the video I linked suggests using DuckDNS and a Wireguard VPN. It certainly works though in my experience it can be a bit of a pain because of CGNAT. If you have a reliable static or long-lived IP lease on IPv6 though it’s much less clumsy.

It can be a lot, I’m a year in and still feel like a noob. I’ve only just now moved from being behind a cloudflare tunnel to being behind a proper reverse-proxy. That doesn’t mean anything to you yet, it will!

There’s plenty of guides to get started. Louis Rossman did a 12hr guide on selfhosting your entire life (I still haven’t watched the whole thing).

I started here with this guide: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IuRWqzfX1ik It’s short, sweet, easy to digest.

If you wanna start super easy.

1. Buy a domain
2. Set up a cloudflare tunnel
3. Roll out whatever using docker
4. Point your tunnel to the docker ports.

This works around CGNAT, and bypasses the need for port forwarding BUT it keeps you reliant on a corpo and keeps all your data moving through their servers, which means low upload limits and your traffic could (see: will) be monitored.

Anything your exposing to the internet should be considered disposable until you know enough to keep a server online safely. Keep backups, offsite. If you have 1 backup, you have no backups. If you only have onsite backups, you have no backups.

Most servers you’re gonna want to run will come with relatively detailed documentation for rolling things out, but when it comes to security you’ll be on your own. This is because the optimal security configuration for your needs depends on your threat model. Until learning proper network security, I’d recommend paying for a VPS to host your servers on and connecting via proxmox or a similar tool, lest you risk leaving gaping security holes in your home network.

Have fun, happy selfhosting, feel free to DM me if you need assistance, I’m not on lemmy often anymore but my inbox goes to my RSS aggregator so I’ll see it.

oh, and PS. Don’t selfhost your email, it’s not worth the hassle.

My 2¢:

I think it’s gamer discourse bleeding out into other fields. Gamers need the newest libraries and the newest drivers or their stuff might not run as well as it possibly could, because gaming is a relatively young but aggressively growing field with the Linux ecosystem in general. Sure games have always been around, but it’s never been the focus.

Now that gamers are switching more frequently, and that the average user is likely to play a game occasionally, it’s becoming relatively important that packages be up to date for desktop workloads.

GTKMM is also GTK–

GTK is the GIMP Tool Kit

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program

GNU is GNU’s Not UNIX

UNIX is UNiplexed Information Computing System

Ergo: GTKMM stands for G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System Image Manipulation Program Toolkit Minus Minus.

GNU is a recursive acronym representing GNU’s Not UNIX.

UNIX is a modified acronym representing UNiplexed Information Computing System (UNICS)

G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System

Wait I need a copy of that one on unexpected wobbling in non-wobbling systems, I need to up my ksp game

$80 to buy the scanner yourself and never have to drive a mile down the road to have another undertrained cashier tell you your O2 sensor died again.

If I never see another P0134 I’ll die happy.

Some people are actively trying to pull out of using their phones for everything. A phone is a phone, its for communicating. If you have a smartphone, sure use it as a PDA. It isn’t for anything else and won’t offer the best experience without concessions, nowadays those concessions often being privacy.

How is the audio quality on those? I’ve got the sp and was considering setting it up as an mp3 player for when I’m off grid but I don’t have the spoons to do if it’s gonna suck.

I don’t want Palantir guarding my anything, especially my rights.

That sounds divine 🤤 and like it would be magnificent on an early morning hike. I’ll have to look out for some, thank you for your suggestion 🙏

I’m partial to the creamy sweetness that shows through on honey process coffees. Years ago I used to love Blackcurrant notes, enough that I’d be frequently importing green beans from Yirgacheffee, Kenya to the US to have processed by a local roaster to my spec. I don’t have that kind of disposable income anymore 😅.

My perfect cup of coffee nowadays should have a full bodied earthiness, and notes of dried fruit and chocolate. For these reasons I usually reach for Guatemalan coffee lately.

Hi, former optician here, your glasses are probably fine quality wise but you should consider updating your Rx more often, at least every 2 years. Eyes change more than people tend to think they do, and since our lenses can be adjuated with muscles we often don’t notice when our vision begins to deteriorate.

I have a total correction of about -3d in each eye, but if I dont put my glasses on in the morning I don’t need them and can go through my day normally. As soon as I put them on and am hit with the strain relief though I’m unable to go back to not wearing them for the rest of the day.

Edit: for clarity, I was an Optician, a lens technician. Not an optometrist/ophthalmologist, my experience with eyes is purely through being in the field where people get equipment from, NOT from actual medical experience.

Sweetie thats just the problem, I care about the level of toxicity in one online community I participate in. The sincerity is genuine.

I’m gonna block you, because I looked through your comment history and you’re mega toxic. You really should do some work on your self, you’ll feel better and be less hateful. Probably. Idk.

Anyways byeeee have a nice life and remember, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t blow your nose into your hands.

Debian Hurd?

This is true at Starbucks too, the freshness of the brew is not why their coffee is bad. This is the company that sold charcoal as French roast for years before anyone noticed it was so overroasted it tasted like bad fish and ash. (I’ve never had a more difficult roast to find a pairing for - Smore’s is the answer, if anyone cares, to make starbucks french roast not taste awful)

Considering I have several actual good roasteries in town and pay the same price? Yeah, fuck the mermaid.

Edit: sp

You need to do some personal development, nobody here was mean but you. There’s a time and place for snark. Be nice, do better.

Liking objectively bad media doesn’t make you wrong.

I’d bet anything its because the costume acts like blinders and keeps her vision from straying from directly ahead. Goats are prey animals, hence their side mounted wide angle lenses. Her visual field is cut more than in half by the costume.

I’d be less anxious too if I saw the whole world as a threat and was blinded to 60% of it.
