- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 2 days ago:
Firefox has user-agent switcher extensions, alternatively you can use invidious to get around YouTube’s bullshit.
I host a public Invidious instance for folks with a Canadian IP - inv.halstead.host

I have to use Chrome to access a couple of sites that don’t play nice with Firefox.
I bet those sites will play nice if you switch user-agents.

- Comment on What else should I self-host? 5 days ago:
While true, they still collect data on the results hosting your own instance can prevent you from hitting rate-limits as often.

- SearxNG (Google Privacy frontend)
SearXNG is more than just a front end for google results, it’s an aggregator, if configured properly can collect results from Bing, Startpage, Wikipedia, DuckDuckGo, Brave.

Yes, back up your stuff regularly, don’t be like me and break your partition table with a 4 month gap between backups.
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 6 days ago:
so they shouldn’t be a risk like GPS that exposes precise locations?
Yes, they only provide country, province/state and city. As others mentioned if you’re worried about this information get yourself a reliable VPN provider, route all your devices through said VPN provider (ideally through your router).
When picking a VPN provider it is highly recommended to read their Privacy Policy before signing up, ensure they don’t log data.

Does this still have a wild amount of drm
If I’m not mistaken Star Wars is owned by Disney, of course it’ll have many many many layers of DRM.
and extra launchers
In my experience it’s only the EA launcher that it needs.

Would this be the Gif killer? If PNG can contain a relatively similar frame count & time limit but with marginally better quality it just may.

“Technically” my jellyfin is exposed to the internet however, I have Fail2Ban setup blocking public IP’s only allowing private IP ranges.
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 weeks ago:
If you aren’t already familiarized with the Docker Engine - you can use Play With Docker to fiddle around, spin up a container or two using the
docker runcommand, once you get use to the command structure you can move into Docker Compose which makes handling multiple containers easy using.ymlfiles.Once you’re comfortable with compose I suggest working into Reverse Proxying with something like SWAG or Traefik which offer plugins that give you more control on how requests are handled.
There really is no “guide” for dummies here, you’ve really got to rely on the documentation provided by these services.

Interesting that you chose Reddit as an example.
I was in a rush! Honestly it was the quickest thing I could come up with on the spot, plus database tools are something I lack a lot of knowledge about so I really couldn’t go in depth even if I wanted to.
Appreciate the history behind Reddit’s database!
- Comment on Trump team leaks AI plans in public GitHub repository 4 weeks ago:
Postgres, SQLite, etc are tools for database management, things like user data, application data and so on are collected here.
Take Reddit’s Karma system or Upvotes/Downvotes for example, they’re stored in a database and however Reddit wants to utilize that data Postgres makes it easy to call upon it.
I’m sure others can give more detailed responses.

- Comment on Building a slow web 5 weeks ago:
Once again, thank you for your insight! It truly does help a lot.
Today I learned the VPN routing is the cause of my issues, I opted to expose my homelab to WAN and tried to connect over LTE/5G and was surprised to see it actually resolve!
Unfortunately this now throws a wrench in my plans In regard to security so now I’m debating on getting another piece of hardware and labelling one as “front end” and the other as “back end” so that the “back end” doesn’t share the same public IP as the front end.
This has ignited a spark to rework my homelab!

- Comment on Building a slow web 5 weeks ago:
While i appreciate the detailed response here i did make another comment letting OP know i’m in a similiar situation as them, i use Docker Engine & Docker Compose for my self-hosting needs on machine running Proxmox with a Debian 12 VM. My reverse proxy is traefik and i am able to receive SSL certificates on port :80/:443 (also have Fail2Ban setup) however, i can’t for the life of me figure out how to expose my containers to the internet.
On my iPhone over LTE/5G trying my domain leads to an “NSURLErrorDomain” and my research of this error doesn’t give me much clarity.
This is a snippet of my docker-compose.yml

- Comment on Building a slow web 5 weeks ago:
I’m in the same boat (sorta)!
Follow up question, did you have trouble exposing port :80 & :443 to the internet? Also are you also using Swarm or Kubernetes?
I have the docker engine setup on a machine along side Traefik (have tried Nginx in the past) primarily using Docker Compose and it works beautifully on LAN however can’t seem to figure out why I can’t connect over the internet, I’m forced to WireGuard/VPN into my home network to access my site.
No need to provide troubleshooting advice, just curious on your experience.
