In this case. Make sure you have cash at hand at least for the next couple of days until the storm passes.

Honestly I would replace Ubuntu with an actual operating system designed for servers.

You’re most welcome.

If I create a private community for all my family members it remains private while I selfhost. If I create it on someone else’s server it ain’t that private because the admin could be eavesdropping.

The truth is that his army had been doing a really great job over the past year so his high hopes are clearly motivated. /s

That would be next to impossible to fix because the issue lies with the protocols not with the framework using the protocols.

Well it is a different type of mail system. I use it for catch all. I have like 200 domain names for various projects or registered to sell and I want to catch all emails sent to those domains without setting them up in mailcow. With Anonaddy I verify their DNS records and that’s it. I can capture all emails sent to them and forward to a specific address. Also, I can use whatever email address I want with whatever domain I want to subscribe to services and keep track of who sells my email for instance. They also have a Chrome extension that you can use to generate emails, but imho that is overkill. Then if you see that one email gets too much spam you can simply delete that forwarder and it gets rejected in the future.

Yes, with mailcow.email and a catchall and random email system with Anonaddy.

I run my own instance because I have the resources, I intend to create communities and it is much more private this way.

You are still giving them traffic, just not directly.

I have a dual boot with High Sierra and Monterey. I went first for Monterey but my Terascale 1 GPU was causing the screen to flicker constantly and would not work with a second monitor. For some reason High Sierra was more stable. Then two weeks ago OCLP released another root patch which fixed all the problems of the Terascale 1 GPU and now they both work fine so I will probably upgrade Monterey to Ventura later this week.

I am both. I have MacOS on MacMini (late 2018) and MacOS with OCLP on MacPRO (early 2008).

+1 all my servers run Linux or FreeBSD, I use macOS as desktop (most of the stuff is neat and out of the box and it uses less resources) and I use Windows while working with my customers and some of their servers. I would definitely not choose Linux for desktop (I tried and gave up), but it is great for the servers.

Privacy wise for me it is more convenient to run my own instance and have my own private communities.

No problem, if you run into issues let me know I may be able to help. Not an expert at Docker, but I do have a handful of containers running here and there.

With this Docker image: lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server

Here is a sample docker-compose.yml.

edit: replaced code block with link due to the formatting being a complete mess

I run everything I can through FreshRSS and for those that I do not have time to read I add the links to ArchiveBox just in case they disappear (they sometimes do).

Well thanks to the soon to be dead /r/selfhosted on reddit I started selfhosting few years ago and now approximately 90% of my stuff is selfhosted:

• Gitlab
• RocketChat
• VS Code
• Anonaddy
• Etherpad
• Min.io
• Archivebox
• FreshRSS
• FileStash
• Matomo
• InfiniteWP
• piHole

as daily drivers and several others that I use from time to time.

Well if you are using docker-compose you could probably get rid of the nginx container and only deploy the other four: lemmy, lemmy-ui, pictrs, postgres. You would then use the nginx.conf stuff you have in place for the docker container of nginx to proxy to lemmy-ui and lemmy on ports 1234 and 8536. Or if you plan to keep using the docker container for nginx then you can change the listening port in the nginx.conf of the container:

listen 80;

to something different like

listen 1080;

Also in the docker-compose.yml you would update the nginx ports to 1080:1080.

Hope this answers your question.
