I’m using a thinclient (Fujitsu S920), slapped an Intel Pro/1000 NIC in there and installed opnsense. Hardware cost for both used was around €80. Wifi is handled by a TP-Link access point.
It’s a big boy router/firewall, and it’s been quite a learning experience but very fun.
For sure - they did the same thing for the Apple watch. Twice, actually.

Elon has trauma from being ousted as CEO by the board at x.com (the company that would later become PayPal).
He’s living in the past.
Yeah, I’m not so sure either.
I mostly just played around with it because some application I was testing relied on s3 storage and Minio was the best selfhosted project I could find that was s3 compatible. Worked pretty well, from what I can remember.
I can’t help with the whole connection between the VPS and your home server bit, but Minio is probably what you’re looking for when it comes to selfhosted object storage.
I was going to mention it-tools. It’s great!
And if you need more stuff in a similar vein, cyberchef is also pretty neat.
I’ve been very happy with mxroute for quite a few years now. They have a summer deal going on for $40 a year for unlimited domains and accounts, you’re only limited by storage (100GB) and outgoing emails per hour.
t would be helpful to know what you consider basic features you want the host to support, but catchall works.
Exactly. We’ve seen piracy go down fairly consistently with the rise of Netflix, as it was providing good service and a huge catalogue for a pretty fair price. But piracy started picking back up when every major production company decided to do their own thing, and getting the content you wanted is, again, prohibitively expensive.
Spotify is more convenient than piracy, so I’m happy to use it as long as I feel the price is fair for the value I’m getting out of it.
Netflix, Disney+, HBO and whatever else there is? Not nearly as convenient as radarr/sonarr + jellyfin. I was fine with giving Netflix my money a few years ago when the price was fair and the catalogue was huge. But at this point, a seedbox can be had for cheaper than a basic subscription to any of the TV/movie streaming services. So fuck em.
Piracy is a service problem, I’m not necessarily doing it for ideological purposes. The music industry, for the most part, has got that. The TV and movie industry, however, is just learning it now, again.
If I can get the content I want conveniently and for a fair price, I have no issues with paying. It’s not like I don’t have other options. I’ve been on what before it got shut down, and I’ve been on red ever since. But apart from the obscure stuff that I can’t get on Spotify, I rarely use it.
There’s also https://github.com/jez500/bender which is heavily inspired by homer, but with a web gui to customize the links rather than having to edit the config.yml
You can use your own (sub)domains for Cloudflare tunnels if you use Cloudflare as your nameserver.
The Muskrat is the dumb man’s idea of a smart person.
If he actually is the smartest man in a room, it’s because the smart people got up and left because they got tired of his bullshit.
Unless I’m actively looking for a specific type of application, or to replace one I already run, I just check in on the subreddit periodically, just looking at the top posts from the past month or so.
I guess I’ll start checking in on lemmy now.
There was a time, where I was checking for new stuff to selfhost almost daily. But at this point, I have what I want, and there is no point in trying to change a running system.
The biggest reason is that PWA allows for web push notifications.
iOS is pretty strict when it comes to background apps keeping open connections, that’s one of the reasons why there is no gotify app on iOS. They list the possible workaround with apple’s APN service, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of selfhosting,
I’m afraid the biggest obstacle would be Apple’s strict restrictions on background services. We cannot keep a persistent WebSocket connection in the background without abusing some APIs, which will absolutely disqualify the app from going onto the App Store and drain the battery significantly. Notifications could only be delivered through APN, which requires a developer account and a central server to manage notifications and send them to Apple before reaching the user, but this is not what gotify is designed for.

//edit: If you check the ntfy docs, you’ll see that instant delivery is not supported on iOS. So if you have uses that are time-sensitive, PWA with web push definitely has the advantage.
You want a legitimate source of income. If the bitcoins were obtained illegally or through illegal activities, you are fucked as soon as you try to cash out.
Even if you somehow manage to cash out and not get caught at that point, having large amounts of disposable cash with no legitimate source of income would also trigger some alarm bells.
Never forget that Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, not all the other shit he did.
