- Comment on IPv6 for self hosters 5 days ago:
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.
- Comment on IPv6 for self hosters 5 days ago:
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.

“With the latest update, you are now unable to read any encrypted PMs before may 2025. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Its quite unintuitive how hard it is to melt snow.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 1 week ago:
They say thatvany AMD powered handheld should work. This is not a contradiction to your post:
Currently, expanded support includes devices with AMD hardware and an NVME drive, targeted toward handheld devices. Please note, support for all devices that is not officially ‘Powered by SteamOS’ is not final (currently anything that is not a Steam Deck or Legion Go S)
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 2 weeks ago:
I mostly try to read the docs, but sadly good documentation is pretty rare.
- Comment on Reverse Proxy with WAF and network monitoring 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Lemmy needs AI. 2 weeks ago:
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).
- Comment on Secrets Management 2 weeks ago:
I doubt using secret managers is popular among self hosters. These products are targeted at larger deployments, not homelabs.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again! 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
“web” would have sounded nice and clear, we also didn’t name FTP the World Wide File Transfer Protocol (WWFTP).
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
It annoys me how www. is pronounced in english. Really, double-u double-u double-u dot example dot com?
- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 4 weeks ago:
Usage requires less computer knowledge than answered
Oh no!!
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 1 month ago:
Nice list of suggestions, but implementing all of them feels a little over-the-top.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 1 month ago:
I don’t really get the love for fail2ban. Sure, it helps keep your logs clean, but with a solid SSH setup (root disabled, SSH keys enforced), I’m not bothered by the login attempts.
- Comment on Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim. 1 month ago:
The current tariff approach by the republican administration does not include the tariffs on US exports. They are not included in the formula.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 2 months ago:
Teams randomly selects the wrong microphone, so either people can’t hear me or they can hear everyone around me too (laptop mic).
How hard can it be to store my microphone preference?
- Comment on Authelia 4.39 has been released with massive changes 2 months ago:
I’m currently comparing Authentik and Authelia. For me, Authentik was extremely easy to get into. Authelia with its text-based configuration is clearly not as easy for beginners.

I’m missing the rpi1 in that list. Please fix ASAP.
- Comment on The best instance to host a big community in Finnish? 3 months ago:
It is probably wise to have the server admins speak the language of your community.
(And feddit.org works fine for me, it’s one of the instances with the highest uptime).
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I’e seen that some want it to host their own LLM. It’s far cheaper to buy DDR5 memory than somehow getting 100+ GB of VRAM. Whether or not this is a good idea is another question
- Comment on HP Mini 1000: The Windows XP Netbook 16 Years Later 3 months ago:
I had one of the early EEE PCs that came with XP. However, I replaced the OS with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which was really great.

- Comment on We've increased our subscription from $9.99 to $29.99 a month 3 months ago:
Under rare circumstances, the update from last night could lead to death. Luckily, it only affected 3.14% of our users, causing only a minor dent in our revenues.
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 4 months ago:
But how would you expect that a city can achieve “using 100% clean power” without earmarking? Should they run their own, independent power grid?
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 4 months ago:
Even if it would be 30% oil & gas, thats still a massive improvement.
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 4 months ago:
City officials plan to cover the remaining 30 percent through the purchase of renewable energy credits.
