- Comment on VPS provider 1 day ago:
Hosting from home is another option that can safe a lot of money over time.
Ionos has an really cheap 1€/month VPS that seems to be pretty good value for small things though.

GL-inet devices are usually available on Amazon and similar places: www.gl-inet.com/compare/?series=home-router
They come with a customized version of OpenWRT, but usually you can also flash vanilla OpenWRT on them, check the status of the exact device here: toh.openwrt.org/?view=normal

This is unlikely to work and I doubt data protection agencies will bother with taking up your complaint.

Rent a cheap VPS and run Wireguard on it.
- Comment on More adventures in self-hosting the fediverse 5 days ago:
There are other options to achive the same goal 🤷
- Comment on More adventures in self-hosting the fediverse 5 days ago:
Selfhosting and using the centralized MitM service from Cloudflare seems directly contradictory to me 🤷
- Comment on Airline Price-Gouging Could Become the New Normal 5 days ago:
The article explains that this will not affect prices in general, but specifically identify individuals that have no choice but to buy even at a higher price and charge them extra. It is unlikely to cause a drop in usage, as it only effects people that need to fly urgently for some reason.

This is a great game!
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 5 days ago:
That and power savings, since I have sufficient capacity to run it on one of my main servers with an extra NIC to pass through.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 6 days ago:
That is what I started with originally, and I don’t want to go back. The WebUI is super convoluted and for anything other than the basics it does more harm than good in my experience… and well, FreeBSD is just not my thing.

The problem is that ChatGPT lies all the time. You are better off researching technical question the regular way, at least it is rare that people just make up false answers if they don’t know.
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 1 week ago:
Under high load conditions maybe, but that is very rare in homelabs and especially for people just starting out like the OP.
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 1 week ago:
USB to Ethernet adapters are about as reliable as wifi connections, i.e. not very.
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 1 week ago:
If they are using ChatGPT to “solve” networking issues, then it is probably better to never expose the network to the outside 🫠
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 1 week ago:
No they are not. If you get one with a special low power CPU they can be about the same, but that very much depends on the exact model.
- Comment on Starting out with Selfhosting 1 week ago:
How? Laptops are especially optimized for low power consumption. if you turn off the screen, that is about as power efficient a server as you can get.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 1 week ago:
I looked into VyOS to replace my main firewall/IPS system (IPfire) with, as I would like to switch to running it in a VM, which is not recommended with IPfire. Seems pretty good so far with the new gratis semi-stable Stream releases.
- Comment on Sync-in, a new alternative to Nextcloud 1 week ago:
Nextcloud started out as file focused, and many people that run Nextcloud since a while now, consider most of the additional features to be unnecessary bloat; I for example stopped using Nextcloud because of its featuritis and abyssal performance.

- Comment on Selfhosted - friendly ways to fight spam without email / sms verification? 2 weeks ago:
where anyone can create and fully own unstoppable communities.
One man’s “unstoppable communities”, are another man’s “spam and NSFW content” 🤷
I think you need to make up your mind what you actually want. Gatekeeping access under the guise of fighting spam seems directly contradictory to the stated goal of your project, and assuming it wouldn’t be flooded with such content when most of the internet consists of such was pretty naive.
- Comment on Nuclear plants too expensive? China shows low-cost construction possible 2 weeks ago:
I believe the bigger issue is that once you have started them, a lot of the interior is radioactive (even when turned off) and thus repairs become quite complicated, compared to doing a more thorough job during construction when there is no radiation yet.
- Comment on Nuclear plants too expensive? China shows low-cost construction possible 2 weeks ago:
We will know in 30 years if they are really cheaper over their lifetime.
France did a similar low cost mass production of nuclear reactors in the 1970ties and those reactors turned out to have a lot of construction defects some decades later and costly repairs really drove up their total costs.

They also have a lot of example pictures from real bikes under the “Assembly” menu option.

- Comment on Simplifying Crypto Parties 2 weeks ago:
You can just make the questions more location or theme specific. There is no way a bot will not slip up on stuff like that, and it doesn’t need to be 100% fail proof either.
We get a lot of LLM bot applications on our instance, and even if it would get 10x harder, they would be still really easy to spot.
- Comment on Simplifying Crypto Parties 2 weeks ago:
Admin review of account applications in Lemmy works fine. If you ask people to write a bit, it’s quite easy to sort out the bots as there are always give-aways. And if people use LLMs to write the responses, then that’s on them 🤷

You can also mount WebDAV folders like that.

Clearly a labour of love 👍
Maybe support for some music streaming apps (subsonic?) would be cool?
