- Comment on Looking for a YouTube monitor and downloader. Sorry if wrong place for question. 2 days ago:
Welcome to the club! It looks like the other recommended solutions have a UI for browsing as well, which is cool. As it is my ytdl-sub feeds into a library for Emby so I personally don’t need another UI, but it is tempting. Only issue I could see is the sane one I had to fix: Some videos only had AV1 available, and support for AV1 encoding only begins at the very recent Intel Core Ultra and AMD 7040 CPUs. I have an RTX 3060 at my disposal for HW transcoding but who knows if those YouTube archiver/players support it

Wow thanks!! I’ll use a different amount of numbers or something

What do you do, randomise it every year?

How much would gofu.ckyour.self go for I wonder. And how does artificial popularity inflation even work on a domain, like how does a name go from £5/yr to £2,500/yr
- Comment on I finally bought a domain! Now what 2 weeks ago:
I kept all my certificates separate - have I been wasting time with 15 subdomains each with their own cert and A record? I have wondered. And then set in my reverse proxy a single domain.tld cert for each entry?

I second this! I’ve learned to note everything down during my experience installing services with Proxmox, and have recently started converting my notes to Public guides, just in case it helps anyone to not start from scratch
- Comment on The prices differences of different providers for the same domain is crazy. 2 weeks ago:
I guess porkbun, being the least renowned name, is the weak link. Companies blaming each other is all too familiar…

I have a .uk via Cloudflare and never needed to give proof, but I did buy it several years ago

Them and Amazon Web Services. Every single “83c92b227da1a9e337ef305b1f99f42418af47e96edb2960d01a7ed26d35eec.us-east-1.prod.service.minerva.devices.a2z.com” and “awstrack.me” URL. They’re so heavily integrated.
- Comment on What path does data take when connecting to a domain at my address? 3 weeks ago:
Also if you have your own net filter like PiHole or AdGuard Home with DNS rewrites set up, and you use it as a DNS server in WiFi settings, then it works a small bit differently. A public IP and NAT routing is never needed, as the device contacts the DNS server via the router Access Point, and the DNS server translates the service’s FQDN into its internal IP. Aside from that, provided everything is set up correctly, all actual data packets go from device ←→ router ←→ service
- Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters? 5 weeks ago:
I was at this point for a while, believing gaming on Linux wasn’t up to par, until I discovered that Linux has a decent translation layer (Proton/Wine) that means even though the vast majority of Steam games are Windows only, Steam or other launchers like Heroic just run them in a container, and from my experience none of my games have had issues. This has only improved massively over the years.
- Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters? 5 weeks ago:
+1 for Hyper-V, despite being glitchy and only sustaining Home Assistant for about 12 hours this and VirtualBox were my best chance at self hosting VMs on a Windows host. The problem wasn’t the virtualization, but the rest of the OS and its persistent maintenance cycles. Antivirus (MsMpEng.exe) and its NTFS scanning running more and more resources until the CPU was clogged. OP has gotta start somewhere.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 month ago:
I run it on residential, and since routing outgoing mail through smtp2go I don’t even get issues with my ISP putting my IP on the PBL. Once my contract is over I’m getting a static IP with a better supplier. Been solid for over two years
