- Comment on Recommendations for next steps for my setup and order of operations (primarily as it relates to reverse proxies)? 19 hours ago:
I find that Debian is the go to for a stable OS. There are others for self hosting like casaos or Talos but I am a vanilla Debian man myself.
Portainer or Podman can be used to manage containers with a GUI compared to the cli.
As for proxies I use Traefik as a reverse proxy for all my Docker containers. It integrates with CertBot so it auto renews Let’s Encrypt certs.
You don’t need to buy a domain, you can use a self signed cert and install that cert onto your machine to not get cert warnings.

- Comment on How does one get started and quickly learn to be a hacker? Explain please like I am a 10 year old because he is. More inside 6 days ago:
Depending where you are in the world https://www.hackerspaces.org/ could help but be aware that “hacker” means different things to different people.
Even your local Linux user group may be able to run up a honeypot for the kid to learn how to “hack”. Anything beyond that an you start getting outside the scope of white hat hacking
- Comment on What does this mean ? 6 days ago:
If you are the repo owner add your SSH key to the project and your account. If you aren’t, ask the maintainer to add it.
- Comment on What does this mean ? 6 days ago:
You are trying to clone a private repo but your user account you provided doesn’t have access to the repo would be my guess.
- Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters? 1 week ago:
Honestly I find hyper v to be easier to work with then virtual box for home stuff and with what Broadcom has done to VMware I am staying away from it.
- Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters? 1 week ago:
Sure are. I started self hosting with a VM on Hyper-V.
- Comment on Using a VPS for ddos protection? 1 week ago:
Don’t. Ddos will overwhelm any single server, do you really think a 1/10/25Gb interface can handle a small 50Gb/s attack?
What you can do is host a VPS with a company that has ddos protections, but I doubt that is standard, and ddos protection works best from a network operator level not a host one.

- Comment on What is Gitea ? 1 week ago:
Gitea as its core is a git forge. A place to store data using git as a synchronisation method.
What data? Anything you want, but best works with loose files like that used with programming so you can roll back code, create a copy to test your change before adding it to the main repository.
That doesn’t mean it can’t store other files. Exe, jpeg, mkv, are all fine to store there but not it’s ideal purpose. - Comment on Self hosted portfolio tracking 1 week ago:
That has been on my list too. May give it a go tonight.
- Comment on If servers can be compared to automobiles, which aspect of IT can this be compared to ? 1 week ago:

- Comment on I built a self-hosted affiliate tracking platform — here's why I think self-hosting affiliate software actually matters 2 weeks ago:
But Forgejo code is hosted on a Forgejo instance. Not a third party forge like Gitlab, Bitbucket, etc
- Comment on So, the market is veering towards ui/ux ? 2 weeks ago:
You missed the point.
You asked if we are veering towards UI/UX.
Everything is a User Interface. The phone, the ATM, the web browser. Things that don’t have a user interface, don’t get used because how else will a user interface with it?
- Comment on So, the market is veering towards ui/ux ? 2 weeks ago:
In order to use something you need a user interface. could be a graphical one like chromium applications or could be a command interface like Curl

Na, python is a modern language. What makes you think it’s old?
Banking and government systems still run on FORTRAN which is older then most internet users.
