You might not even be able to install modern OS on it as many are starting to drop support for old hardware, I know the linux kernel did some pruning recently.

I tried thinking of them and started laughing. Tried a second time to be sure and it happened again. Am I doing it right?

mail is the one thing I refuse to self host for the simple reason that despite not being particularly hard to get up and running initially, when it doesn’t work for whatever reason it can be and often is a gigantic pain in the ass to deal with, especially when it’s something out of your control. For personal there’s very good free options, for enterprise those same free options have paid options.

Whether it be gmail having a bad day and blocking you or whatever cloud provider or on prem infrastructure crapping out for long periods of time causing you to be cut off from email for a while and potentially missing incoming mail permanently if the retries time out. Or anything in between. It’s one of those things where I’m glad it isn’t my problem to deal with.

My only involvement with email is ensuring I have a local copy of my inbox synced up every week so if my provider were to ever die I still have all my content.

I do this with strawberries and blueberries, should work with raspberries too. I freeze them (or buy them frozen off season), put them in a blender and put in some lemon juice. The result is basically a citrusy berry slushy/ice cream replacement. I don’t purchase ice cream anymore I do this instead.

Buy the domain itself wherever you want. I like cloudflare, and a lot of people also suggest porkbun.com. You then point the nameservers for your domain to whatever DNS service you want. If you stick to cloudflare then it’s already done for you.

For dynamic DNS I use cloudflare’s one using my router to keep it updated. It’s easy to set up. Depending on your router you may need to run a service on a machine to do this instead. things like pfsense/opnsense should have it built-in.

I have nowhere near that many but I did try this once. Within a month it was ruined so I just caved and allowed chaos to rule my spice organization. I know where everything is approximately and can find it, I just won’t send someone else to try and get any spice out of there.

You likely wouldn’t be using cloudflare for that level anyways, since you want it to work when you’re offline you’d bypass them entirely with local DNS server, local reverse proxy+certs. You’d use something like certbot with let’s encrypt which works fine. https://certbot.eff.org/

You’re right but you can get a wildcard for that level as well.

If you mean accessing them from within your LAN while your internet is down then no it won’t work.

What you should be doing is either split horizon DNS (LAN resolves local IPs, public resolves public IPs) or use different DNS hostnames internally, for example media.local.yourdomain.com

You then set up a reverse proxy in your LAN and point everything to that, use a let’s encrypt wildcard cert using the DNS challenge method so you can get *.yourdomain.com protected with a single cert. Since you use cloudflare you can use the cloudflare API plugin with certbot, it’ll automate everything for the DNS challenge and no need to keep opening ports or configuring http/https challenges every couple of months.

I went with docker but back then their documentation for it was trash and hardly worked. Had to trial and error it until it was functional. Hopefully they fixed that by now.

If you host the instance just for your own account to be under your control there’s hardly any overhead. I’m running it in docker in a debian 12 VM with 1 GB ram, 1 virtual CPU and 50GB virtual disk. Haven’t had any issues.

I also see your account is on “infosec.pub” in the same way mine is on “social.vmdk.ca” so you can try searching on lemmy.world or some other instance for the post in question using keywords. For example I found this on lemmy.world directly while searching for UAP, no idea if it’s what you’re talking about. https://lemmy.world/post/1812373

Are you sure they’re being deleted? Federation is a bit weird in that the instance you’re browsing from might not have a piece of content for whatever reason (database rollback/restore or other issues) but if it was posted then it’s out there somewhere on an instance that grabbed it while it was still up.

There are places where people literally leave the window open or door unlocked so people looking to steal shit can take a look without breaking the window, see they have nothing to steal and move on.

This is a good way to get a lot of people to never pay for a video game ever again, after Steam did a pretty good job convincing people not to pirate.

That’s one way to kill the WWW.

Those features make sense for people who mostly use mobile, however the price increases make it a lot less appealing even then. At some point people will realize they are paying more to play a video in the background or without ads than for netflix/disney or whatever people like these days.

I’ve yet to be made aware of any benefits at all. None of what you get from premium is either interesting or relevant.

You mean that documentary “The Last of Us”?

I’m that weird person who just uses nginx and does the config files in a text editor. Been doing it that way since 2010 or so and I’m too used to it to appreciate proxy manager.
