No, mate. I don’t need a guide, or a tour. Just a single clarifying sentence.
“My product does x”. Right now, x could be:
What does your product DO? And dong you dare answer “it helps you make money”, that does not explain anything.
I have clicked every link on that site and I still have exactly zero clue wtf this is.
FWIW, I have no issues sending mails/having them be received from my self-hosted to Google mail
On many trackers, you get “paid” for time seeded. Usually in the forms of bonus points or the like. You can then exchange these for improving your ratio (or a freeleech token, or an invite,…).
It’s a system that also rewards keeping media available even if you are not uploading to anyone.
Also, keep in mind that often, a large part of the available content is freeleech (meaning leeching it doesn’t affect your ratio), but seeding those torrents usually still does improve your ratio.
Pimsleur. It’s very different than Duolingo, in that it is almost entirely audio-based. However, at least in my experience, it actually gets you to the point of speaking and understanding a language much more rapidly than Duolingo. Way, way less gamified though. It expects you to put in half an hour a day where you just concentrate on the lesson.
Sorry, I should have mentioned: liking bare-metal does not mean disliking abstraction.
I would absolutely go insane if I had to go back to installing and managing each and every services in their preferred way/config file/config language, and to diy backup solutions, and so on.
I’m currently managing all of that through a single nix config, which doesn’t only take care of 90% of the overhead, it also contains all config in a single, self-documenting, language.
Nice. My partner has a Proxmox setup, so we’ve adapted the Nix config to spin up new VMs of any machine with a single command.
NixOS :)
Maybe I should have clarified that liking bare-metal does not imply disliking abstraction
Containers != services.
I don’t think I am better than anyone. I jumped into these comments because docker was pushed as superior, unprompted.
Installing and configuring does not an expert make, agreed; but that’s not what I said.
I would say I’m pretty knowledgeable about the things I host though, seeing as I am a contributor and / or package maintainer for a number of them…
They are using a hosting provider - their dad.
“The cloud” is also just a bunch of machines in a basement. Lots of machines in lots of “basements”, but still.
OK, but I’d rather be the expert.
And I have no troubling spinning up new services, fast. Currently sitting at around ~30 Internet-facing services, 0 docker containers, and reproducing those installs from scratch + restoring backups would be a single command plus waiting 5 minutes.
No, I actually think that is a good analogy. If you just want to have something up and running and use it, that’s obviously totally fine and valid, and a good use-case of Docker.
What I take issue with is the attitude which the person I replied to exhibits, the “why would anyone not use docker”.
I find that to be a very weird reaction to people doing bare metal. But also I am biased. ~30 Internet facing services, 0 docker in use 😄
I would say yes, it’s still self-hosting. It’s probably not “home labbing”, but it’s still you responsible for all the services you host yourself, it’s just the hardware which is managed by someone else.
Also don’t let people discourage you from doing bare-metal.
Yeah why wouldn’t you want to know how things work!
I obviously don’t know you, but to me it seems that a majority of Docker users know how to spin up a container, but have zero knowledge of how to fix issues within their containers, or to create their own for their custom needs.
To clone their voice, and to send the audio to some unknown server
Never in my life hage I known people (in Germany, but probably everywhere) to he happy with politics. I would also argue that for the vast majority (again, here in Germany) life has improved over the past decades.
IMO the reason for right wing surges aren’t actual real-world problems or failings of ruling parties (though flawed they are), but the new forms of propaganda and outreach that right wing parties have mastered, and left wing parties have failed at.
Which shouldn’t really be an issue since you should only host on 443, which tells bots basically nothing.
Configure your firewall/proxy to only forward for the correct subdomain, and now the bots are back to 0, since knowing the port is useless, and any even mildly competent DNS provider will protect you from bots walking your zone.
Sorry, saw this only just now. I don’t really have any guides to point to, so just the basic steps:
90% of this is applicable to any “how to host x publicly” question, and is mostly a one-time setup. Ideally, have the proxy running on a different VM/hardware, e.g. a firewall, and do think about how well you want/need to secure the network.
In any case, you then just put in https://jellyfin.yourdomain.com/ in the hotel TV.
I have never used Tailscale. I have also Jever seen anyone in the wild recommend it and explain what exactly the use-case is beyond plain, old, reliable, open source WireGuard.
So yeah, agreed.
Also I have been hosting Jellyfin publicly accessible for years with zero issues, so idk… I also dint k ow what the “you have to use Tailscale for jellyfin” people are doing with TVs/Firesticks/… in hotels, airbnbs,…
I dream of a pure information protocol. Kinda like RSS, but… More.
Essentially: I want “the feed” from universes like The Expanse
