Who you’re responding to is speaking against the soldier.

Thanks for the summary! How is the fediverse against surveillance though? Isn’t it easy to scrape data since it’s all public

The Chinese? Weird title.

Hahaha!

Halfly, yes.

TIL I’m half a young norwegian

This sort of question made me originally think I was on c/selfhosted.

What I would do if I was you would setup lemmy, authentik, nginx proxy manager, and a cloudflare website with cloudflare proxy turned on. On cloudflare you make an A record or a CNAME pointing it at your IP. You need to open ports on your router aimed at NPM. My setup then routes ALL traffic inside NPM to authentik. Authentik can provide many forms of authentication. My current setup requires a username, password, and OTP. Then Authentik will route your successful login to your lemmy. I use this setup for private services.

I have not hosted my own lemmy. If it has to be fully public to federate successfully, I would get rid of authentik. That’s NPM directly to lemmy. You can add extra security by adding 2auth login. On cloudflare you can also region block all visitors from countries you don’t expect traffic. Lemmy appears to be mostly western so any Eastern country that randomly has a high amount of traffic you could block.

You can additionally use fail2ban to read through your NPM and docker logs then link to cloudflare API to ban any IP that tries to login to your lemmy instance and fails.

Selfhosting is really exciting, and a fun and rewarding learning process. I am more happy to help you with any questions as I have done all of this except the lemmy part.

Is your old laptop running a specific OS? Can you change it to linux? That would help with efficiency and giving it more life :) I prefer Ubuntu or Fedora. You can just install the server part so you won’t have a GUI. All you need to do is install a linux server, get it running, install docker, via command line install portainer to manage docker. Then you can visit the portainer website at your laptop’s ip and portainers port number and manage all of your docker images easily via web.

It’s really small! I am the new mod, trying to recreate the nice community that was on Reddit :)

Why? War?

Love this so much, so much better than reddit

Why almost get beat up post 9/11?

First book?

Very relatable! It’s weird, do you think it’s because you were different or just young?

I don’t think anyone opens a port directly to the application. One should use a reserve proxy manager such as NPM. Further security such as authentik. And maybe even cloudflare proxy for hiding one’s IP.

Also, what ISP cares about hosting other then frequent IP changes which duckdns solves? Is this for a specific company or country?

I found this posted in opensource. Seems to be exactly what you all want :)

Could also use homebox and QR codes for specific items in the box

Looks really cool!

Nextcloud did this to me in the exact same situation you described. Setting up a next cloud folder on the OneDrive folder. You can’t have them running at the same time. This was on windows.

I’ve since gotten rid of OneDrive and moved to Linux and never had this issue.

I admit that seemed scary at first but Lenny responded https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

They make a good point that why would this matter when we are posting on a public forum that is cached by Google, among others.

I don’t like personal private information retained. It seems they do federate deletion based on this response.

Thanks for commenting this though! I had never considered or read about it before

? Dude what? You can search just like I can. Idk what your needs are.
