Debian on my servers. No drama, it just works.

Fedora on my laptop and desktop. Still solid, but quicker updates.

For my gaming PC, I shut it down whenever I’m not actively using it.

My laptop is usually just put to sleep, and only fully powered off if I don’t plan to use it for a bit, or if I’m installing updates.

My servers stay on 24/7.

Which is exactly what is demonstrated in the post. 🙃

Thanks! I like to keep things simple. The colors are based on Counter Strike 1.6. 😁

And if you’re into the classic styling, my homepage is a direct homage to my old 2000s sites.

True, but this is specifically about scripts you think you know, and how curl bash might trick you into running a different script entirely.

Yep! That’s what the post shows.

I created a live demo file, too, so that you can actually see the difference based on how you request the file.

Ah. I tried /feed.xml and /feed.rss, but didn’t think to check just /feed/

Did you find an RSS feed? I didn’t see one.

I have tried to use Adguard Home’s DNS rewrites as well as custom query filters to catch local requests for sub.domain.tld and point them instead to Unraid.IP.Address, but this does not resolve.

According to the logs you posted, it’s resolving just fine, the server is just refusing the connection.

What you’re trying to do is a pretty typical setup, and one that I use myself (except that I ditched AGH for a simpler set up).

Internal DNS points to the internal address of the reverse proxy, external DNS points to the external address (both are the same of your using ipv6).

You just need to look into why the server is refusing the connection. Anything in the logs?

Yeah, but there’s no compose file for the converter. How can you possibly run a single python script without docker+compose?

Looks like most of that install script is just creating a letsenceypt cert for you. If it’s not working, you can probably just create one yourself or use a wildcard cert if you already have one.

The rest is just an nginx instance being used to proxy a connection. If you’re already using NPM, anyway, you might as well just use that. No reason to run extra instances.

Or start with the signal one and add your other proxy config files to that.

Since you’re asking on the Fediverse, an Activitypub server would be an obvious choice.

Git repos would be another good (and easy) choice.

In my opinion, “self-hosted” means that you host it yourself.

Running services in the cloud (i.e. someone else is hosting it) isn’t the same as hosting it yourself.

Just have fun, though. Not everyone is in a situation where they can self host. Just do what works for you.

“Nice” is entirely subjective. I think my site is nice, but someone else might think it’s garbage.

I use Hugo to generate my site. It’s not wysiwyg, but it supports markdown for pages, which is even simpler than html. It also has a live server mode, where you can see changes immediately.

The community has a created whole gallery of themes (templates) that you can use. It might be worth looking through the gallery to see if you think any of them look “nice” to you.

I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again: I like the concept, but I can’t help but feel that the presentation has been consistently poor.

The earlier releases left a sour taste for some by highlighting connections to cryptocurrency, and now it’s literally being rebanded to “bitsocial”? With Bitcoin being the widest known cryptocurrency in the world, it’s definitely not alleviating the concerns that this is some sort of cryptoscam.

My only question, which I feel wasn’t clearly explained in the video, is whether he did any extra work on the Windows machines. He explains his “fresh install” mythology for the Linux tests, I don’t recall him explicitly saying that he did the same for the Windows machines.

I’d be surprised if Windows actually ships with the newest drivers for the newer cards. For apples to apples, either run both OSes out of the box, or get proper driver’s both.

Fun video regardless!

I have two domains through Cloudflare. They don’t mark up to price at all, so they’re basically the lowest price you’ll find that isn’t a gimmick.

I pay $6.50 for one and $10.46 for the other. Privacy is free and by default.

No harm in getting your domain from them. Just beware that when you create a DNS entry, they default to proxying the incoming connections. It is super easy to turn that “feature” off, you just have to remember to do it whenever you create a new record.

Yes, both the standalone quickstart and the quickstart section of the readme (which are both different).

Is it possible to get the static sites without spinning up a DB backend?

Can anyone figure out what the minimum process is to just use the SSG function? I’m having a really hard time trying to understand the documentation.

ufw is just a fancy frontend for iptables, but hasn’t been updated for nftables, yet.

Firewalld is an option that supports both, and if you happen to be running cockpit as well, the cockpit-firewall plugin provides a simple GUI for the whole thing.
