• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I submitted a response but if i may give some feedback, the second portion brings up:

  I am willing to pay a substantial amount for hardware required for self-hosting.

  This seemed out of place because there were no other value related questions. Such as:

  • I believe self hosting saves me money in the short term
  • i believe self hosting saves me money in the long run

  I’m sure you could also think of more. But i think it’s pretty important because between cloud service providers and any non-free apps you want to use, it can be quite costly compared to the cost of some hardware and time it takes to set things up.

  The rest of my responses don’t change but if you’re wanting to understand the impact of money in all of this i think some more questions are needed

  Best of luck!

  You’re not connected to wifi or vpn from the looks of it. jellyfin is hosted on your local network. You need to be connected to that network for any device you want to access it. The most direct way is to connect via wifi. If you want access from outside your house you’ll need to look into opening a remote connection via something like cloudflare tunnel

  Logseq to some extent, but it’s set up to be a journal/ meeting notes where you tag pages, add documents, etc it world be up to how you’ve tagged things. Does have a graph view of you pages and whiteboard feature.

  Personally it wasn’t exactly what i wanted out of a PKM but it is really powerful and intended to handle taking notes efficiently from meetings and then somewhat self organizing the notes as long as you tag stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

  Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

  • tandoor recipes
  • navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn’t the typical media server recommendation)
  • personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
  • umami analytics
  • Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
  • a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven’t open sourced yet
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Without knowing what reddit is doing, I’m not sure. A JS redirect could be detected, but if OPs paid shortener service is working then reddit is probably working off a simple domain block list. In that case you could use throw away domains.

  But JS redirect, proxy response, etc all could just become a game of cat and mouse. Just depends how motivated either side is. But given how big reddit is, i think you’d have the advantage. Just gets expensive since each time your domain gets blocked you’ll be paying to register a new one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not familiar with the reddit filtering but have you tried using cloudflare page rules? You can try capturing everything after the .tld and then forward it to a lemmy server. So for instance somedomain.tld/12345 could forward to lemmy.world/post/12345. If reddit is checking links for 301 redirects to lemmy though then that wouldn’t work though.

  A more advanced approach would be to use a cloudflare worker to do a proxy response so the status code is returned as 200 OK instead of 301 redirect. I haven’t tried that but i think that would be much harder for them to block and you could always make more elaborate urls to make it harder to find obvious lemmy-like structure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting static site behind two routers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would use cloudflare pages (or any forge ‘pages’ feature) before using tunnels for a static website

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  0. Pen or bust
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any nice playbook or tutorial to host a static website from home?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something that doesn’t really need to be self hosted unless you’re wanting the experience. You just need:

  1. Static website builder. I use hugo but there’s a few others like jekyll, astro
  2. Use a git forge (github, gitlab, codeberg).
  3. Use your forges Pages feature, there’s also cloudflare pages. Stay away from netlify imo. Each of these you can set up to use your own domain

  So for my website i just write new content, push to my forge, and then a pipeline builds and releases the update on my website.

  Where self hosting comes into play is that it could make some things with static websites easier, like some comment systems, contact forms, etc. But you can still do all of this without self hosting. Comments can be handled through git issues (utteranc.es) and for a contact form i use ‘hero tofu’ free tier. In the end i don’t have to worry about opening access to my ports and can still have a static website with a contact form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich: opinion revised⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not familiar with doku wiki but here’s a few thoughts

  • privacy policy is good to have regardless of what you do with rest of my comments
  • your site is creating a cookie “dokuwiki” for user tracking.
  • cookie is created regardless of user agreement, rather than waiting for acceptance (implied or explicit agreement). As in i visit the page, i click nothing and i already have the dokuwiki cookie.
  • i like umami analytics for a cookieless google analytics alternative. They have a generous free cloud option for hobby users and umami is also self hostable. Then you can get rid of any banner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had the same experience. Have used all three at some point but mostly use nginx for new servers
