I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

Here’s the link on Github. It doesn’t seem to be on the main F-Droid repo, only IzzyOnDroid’s, so I don’t know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.

I like Fluent Reader, it looks nice, can fetch full articles, and IIRC caches them locally for offline viewing, don’t quote me on that last one though.

When you post a link, you can add a thumbnail image URL! In the default lemmy-ui, it should be right under where you upload an image :)

I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I’m looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don’t want to have to use Meta’s apps on my phone.

From what I’ve read so far, it seems like it’s going to be the most convoluted install process I’ll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I’m excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I’ve been putting it off :P

For anyone wondering, lemm.ee is hosted in Finland, as per this post by the admin.

I’m also on GrapheneOS running IronFox and customizing the homepage works fine for me.

Any ports used in docker will be open on your computer and accessible to any device in your network.

However, to open up a port to the internet, you’d have to do port-forwarding on your router. If you haven’t done that, any incoming connections will just be dropped at the router-level.

That’s actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it’s making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you’re running it on?

I’m reading it so I’d say it works!

They’d need to collaborate with a multitude of financial institutions in whichever jurisdictions they’d want to operate in. That’s just a level of resources most FOSS projects don’t have. Plus, I can’t imagine banks would be big proponents of open-source; where’s the money in that?

I recommend posting in [email protected], really helpful community there (although I’d refrain from specifically mentioning piracy).

I’ve heard Hetzner is quick to crack down on piracy. Some VPS hosters advertise that they don’t acknowledge DMCA requests, such as Njalla and 1984 (I’ve never used these, just found them by searching Lemmy). If you want to go with a traditional hoster I’ll echo what the other person said and recommend Gluetun to bind your container to a VPN service.

For security, if it’s just for you and your partner I’d just setup a Wireguard server on the VPS and tunnel into it that way. You’ll have to setup the VPN on any device you want to access your server with, which is a hassle, but I’d much prefer the small hassle than the constant worrying of hosting publicly-accessible services. Otherwise, I’d setup something like Crowdsec or Fail2Ban.

“Public benefit corporation” is such an oxymoron, I know it’s cliché to say this but it reads like something out of 1984.

If your goal is truly to benefit the public, why wouldn’t you start a non-profit? It’s because they want profits, which will always be at odds with the interests of the public.

They meant pinging your server from another device, I assume.

What error(s) do you get when you try to SSH into your server?

By “can’t access containers”, I assume you mean via devices you’re trying to connect to the server with? Can you still access the stuff you’re running in the containers directly on the server via localhost?

I’ll echo what the other commenter’s have said and you need to give us more info. “I added two containers” is pretty much useless if that’s all we have to go off of to start troubleshooting. More details on what exactly you did, any troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried, what specific errors you get, etc.

Free as in freedom, not free as in beer.

I can only assume it’d be a bridge for Nextcloud Talk.

I was having issues getting my Android device to use my local DNS server over VPN, what worked for me was setting it up through RethinkDNS. There’s a setting to prevent DNS leaks by capturing all traffic on port 53 and directing it to the DNS server you set. It doesn’t feel like an elegant solution but hey, it works.

Note, you’ll have to make sure your private DNS setting is off, in the internet section of the system settings.

From a quick Lemmy search, I’ve seen Njalla and 1984.hosting being recommended for these kinds of uses.

I’m not sure how it would do multiple languages however, as I’ve not tried it.

As someone who types the majority of my thoughts in Frenglish, Heliboard is the only FOSS keyboard I’ve found that would remotely accommodate that while still having useful autocorrect.
