- Comment on Internal domain and reverse proxy 1 day ago:
I don’t know of an all-in-one-place guide but there’s not a whole lot to it. Just look up how to do each of the parts you mentioned. I’d say that buying a domain and using LetsEncrypt is not really in the self-hosting spirit (i.e. you should run your own DNS and CA) but it’s up to you. Running a serious CA with real security is quite hard, but for your purposes you can just do whatever. There are various programs or scripts for it. I still use CA.pl from the openssl distro, but that’s very old school and people here hate it. Anyway, you will do a little head scratching to get everything working right, but it will be educational, so you’ll get something out of it in its own right.

The good news is that the guiding document for the AI robots will be called “How to Serve Man”. The bad news is it’s a cookbook. :)

Lol, it will be more like “Soylent Green is people”.

Probably the Pushshift archive which is publicly downloadable.

It’s just called makeup. Almost all public “faces” such as actors and politicians wear it. There’s actually an Oscar category for best makeup and hairstyle or something like that. An extreme example, Mr. Spock’s makeup on the original Star Trek took something like 2 hours to put on each day. Leonard Nimoy wrote about it in his autobiography “I am Spock”.

Brick is an evocative word for something happening to a waterbed.
- Comment on Building a $60 Ham Radio Data Hotspot with Baofeng UV-5R and Raspberry Pi Zero 2W 6 days ago:
Oh neat. I’ve been interested for a while in JS8CALL as a means of long range low power communications. That’s best with HF of course.
The classic UV-5R needs 7.2 volt power if that matters to anyone (not the usual 5V USB brick) but I’m sure users can deal with that.

I expect it’s mostly us older folks who grew up during the leaded gasoline era.
- Comment on Building a $60 Ham Radio Data Hotspot with Baofeng UV-5R and Raspberry Pi Zero 2W 6 days ago:
This is interesting but FT8/JS8CALL on an FM transceiver sounds puzzling and I didn’t know anyone used those modes on those bands.

This sounds medical, better to ask an MD about the syndrome.
- Comment on What is known about darkrooms? 1 week ago:
Yeah ask a clearer question. Darkrooms and chemical photography in general are pretty niche now. Everything is digital. But, back in the day they were more of a thing, especially for photo hobbyists. Commercial labs for randos used automated equipment so again no darkrooms, especially in the later parts of the era.

Gotta wonder why random apps don’t need permissions to run and operate other apps. You can cause plenty of trouble maliciously navigating a browser even if you can’t see the screen.
- Comment on Getting old and would like a better way to track health the self hosted way 2 weeks ago:
Paper notebook for each person, really the simplest, unless you have continuous monitoring or something uploading data automatically. Otherwise, for stuff like weight and BP, the acutal measurements are the main hassle and computers won’t save you any time compared to that.
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 weeks ago:
What politicians want and what the public wants are often totally different things. People vote on a few hot-button issues like immigration, and for stuff that gets less attention, politicians do what they want. So calling attention to chat control likely made a significant difference.

Thanks, that sounds mostly like container features. Maybe that helps.
- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 2 weeks ago:
Patent troll = someone pops up claiming av1 or av2 infringes on some obscure patent that they control. That happens all the time. There’s no way to guarantee that it won’t happen with any codec or really with anything. It is very expensive to defend against even when the claim is bogus.
- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know, but if it is, why take chances with yet another codec? The hazard is less about the developers asserting parents than trolls coming out of the woodwork after the codec is deployed.
- Comment on AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month 2 weeks ago:
Why do we need more codecs? Technical progress is nice but unless the new thing is literally 5x better than the old thing, media codecs are for practical purposes a solved problem by now. Slight improvements aren’t worth the churn and patent hazards.

- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 3 weeks ago:
I just found out about cloudflared, it looks straightforward but you need a cloudflare account to use it. IDK what (if anything) they charge for it.
I have generally just used a VPS for this. I’ve done it through an ssh reverse proxy which is pretty crappy, but a more serious approach would use iptables forwarding or wireguard or whatever the current hotness is.
- Comment on This is another implementation of what's possible inside of termux for all you self hosters. 3 weeks ago:
I’m confused, you implemented the graphical chess game in the terminal? Or you implemented a web server and pointed a non-termux browser at it?
I didn’t know about cloudflared, pretty cool. I just use a VPS and (if applicable) an ssh reverse proxy for that.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 3 weeks ago:
Yeah for 80TB you’d want either a server or a NAS and at that point I’d have to weigh the cost against a rental. Still though, how will you back it up? What’s going to be on it anyway, e.g. video editing? You’re more in professional workstation territory than home server. If it’s datahoarder type stuff (archived sitcoms or whatever) then yeah ok I guess. Certainly a DIY box with a say 6x 24TB desktop HDD’s will cost less than a few years of renting Hetzner boxes with that much drive space. Those drives are very cheap now, $300 each on newegg. But still, this is very much a niche use, nowhere near “everyone should have” territory. Unfortunately it’s still not enough data to think seriously about a tape drive.
Hmm it looks like a 160TB Hetzner server (10x 16TB drives, Intel W-2245 CPU with 128GB ram and also 2x 960GB SSD) is $150/month in the Hetzner auction. Could you build and run a comparable home server for less, say spreading the cost over 3 years? Probably yes but it would take some effort. And how much do you pay monthly for that two-way 1gbit internet pipe? Can you really open public ports on it and serve files in much volume at that speed?
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 3 weeks ago:
Home Assistant is kind of interesting for solar power I guess, though I haven’t looked into it much. Otherwise it’s a smart home thing right? See the biggaybunny link I posted ;). I had to look up NZBGET and so on, but yeah, if I was trying to keep it private I certainly wouldn’t want to connect to it from home internet. I used to have a server in Romania that would have been a good candidate for stuff like that if I were into it. Download to that and then scp to home.
Nothing stops me from upgrading/downgrading VPS software any way I want afaik. Although it might less secure than a dedicated server. I have had dedis in various places at different times though my main beater machine is a VPS. I tend to think hosted servers are more secure against physical intrusions than a home server is, though who knows. The software is basically the same, and the DC’s have good DDOS protection.
Yeah you’re probably right about using a phone as a server. It’s a cool re-use though.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that is kind of vague though. I don’t really have other stuff on my LAN (…tumblr.com/…/tech-enthusiasts-everything-in-my-h…) right now unless you count my phone.
I’m in another thread right now where a guy is running a simple encrypted chat server on his phone under tmux. That is pretty cool and using an old phone is an interesting alternative to a razzleberry pi if you don’t mind running Android and don’t need much compute or storage.
I think I see, you’re suggesting using a local server as sort of a jump box to the internet, with otherwise disconnected clients. I guess that has some attractions, though in practice I use web browsers all the time, with the usual bug-ridden software stack that surrounds such things. If I were doing anything really sensitive I wouldn’t use that approach.
