- Comment on "Ultimate" guide for literal beginners 3 days ago:
Debian is good to start with as one of its key tenants is stability. Which is what you want in any environment.
A lot of popular distros like Ubuntu and Mint are based on it.

For an absolute beginner I would recommend Linux tutorials first so you can navigate the Linux cli.
After that watch some docker tutorials as a significant chunk of self hosting is done with docker or a kube variant but you won’t need to lean about kube yet. - Comment on Homepage - Selfhosting Dashboard 6 days ago:
I see BentoPDF and IT Tools but no OmniTools. Shame.

Reminds me of the scene from Man vs Bee where all the pin codes are years of various sea battles.

How does Watcharr differ from Seerr?
Seems like they do the same thing. Track shows and tag them for later… acquisition. - Comment on Rclone encrypted to google. How? 1 week ago:
Put 3 ticks ` the symbol next to 1 on the keyboard before and after the code snippet.

Cut the free SKU in half.

No sane person runs docker on windows. They will run wsl or a Linux Hyper-V vm to do docker.

Vinted has some nice deals every so often.
But look at German sites for better HDD deals then NL. - Comment on Nerd gang signs - let's play a game 2 weeks ago:
Real gangs use TIA-598-C
- Comment on Nerd gang signs - let's play a game 2 weeks ago:
There is a reason they exist. It called crossover cables from the days before Auto MID-X.
The days before 100Mb NICs you had to crossover somewhere for connecting 2 like devices otherwise both devices would tx and Rx on the same pins.

JellyFin has a native windows version.

- Comment on Vulnerabilities on Dockerhub 2 weeks ago:
Generally the images will be built with dependencies that have known issues but not all cves are actual problems.
Just because Next cloud uses a package, it may not use the function that has the issue.

Finally got around to buying Capitan of Industry.
- Comment on DepthSight - a self-hosted, federated algorithmic trading platform with a visual strategy builder (AGPL) 2 weeks ago:
If you used a llm to generate code, how are you licensing this under AGPL? LLM output is not copy-protected.
- Comment on Are ISPs responsible for bots having residential IPs or is this a user problem? 3 weeks ago:
Not the ISPs problem at all.
Blame IoT manufacturers for providing shit devices that can easily be hacked.
Theere is no difference from a technical standpoint between a business and residential IP. It’s allocation is tied to the network provider.
People install extensions onto browsers for any number of reasons without knowing what it does. It was a problem is the 90s that never went away.
- Comment on Recommendations for next steps for my setup and order of operations (primarily as it relates to reverse proxies)? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 ? 4 weeks 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 ? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
Sure are. I started self hosting with a VM on Hyper-V.
- Comment on Using a VPS for ddos protection? 4 weeks 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.
