What’s funny?

And no, its like download a docker compose and run it. Indeed, you need a domain, not for everybody, but definitely not that hard at all.

I wasn’t being funny, this is exactly what I think: your personal instance is the only way to prevent censorship. Yes it takes skills and effort, sorry man but that’s the way, nothing is free, in the sense of effortless.

I self host on my domain and on my renter hardware (not from home I mean) since probably 20 years. Changed ip a few times due to provider replacement and rented hardware upgrade, but I never had issues whatsoever, at least serious.

Whoever complains about self host mail didn’t setup dkim/dmarc/SPF/proper DNS entries or is using some residential address pool, because really nobody filters you that much. I also self host mail for newer domains and again never had issues.

I had issues with an idiot sending spam from his account (relatives, the worst) but I banned him and unblocked my domain once, never had the issue twice.

I recently updated my wiki with all my instructions here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=email%3Astart

I wrote it for me, to remember what I did, but thought it might be useful for others. All bare metal, no containers, you learn what you do.

And this is why I run my own instance and I get to decide who to ban and who to follow. Do you know guys that with your own single user instance you don’t get to see in your “all” feed anything but what you actually subscribed? So no need for bans, defederation or censorship.

Is pop3 still a thing?

Anyway, more clear now, can make sense (not to me, I self host my mail on my VPS)

I learned something new!

Thank you

Thanks you!

What’s an otaku? Sorry friend, can’t that be defined in English words? I am more familiar than japanese jqrgob.

By your words, is it a gallery? A kind of public gallery?

Let me be concise and short to the point: AI Is a tool, as any tool, don’t abuse of it. In case of creative writing, just don’t use AI.

Specially if the problem is inspiration or plot, AI will not help you, just dig your grave deeper.

Use AI for small, specific tasks where you can verify what it gives you and that’s all, if use it at all.

What is a booru?

Sorry, not clear to me what this accomplishes. Yes you buy a domain and use it for your email, then if and when you switch, you also migrate imap-to-imap all your email… It’s a pretty easy thing to do and there are tools just for this purpose.

Is this a script to do the same?

3, 2, 1… Test the backup!

… Is that the rule, right?

I host my own Lemmy instance. Single user. I do it for owning my posts and comments, and to keep memory.

Does that help the fediverse? I am not so sure. Probably many smallish instances are better than a lot of individual instances or a few big ones.

I have been using the link to share… Its not a weird thing, just a filesystem link between radicale users…

But if now it’s easier to manage, good to know… Let us know!

Update : my ISP does not provide GUA… So, whatever. Stick to IPv4 for the time being, no need to get complicated with IPv6 nat when I already have IPv4 nat working fine.

I actually have two ISP and one does support ip 6 with a GUA and that’s where I got confused… Unfortunately, it’s the one providing 20mb/sec FTTC that I use only for backup. The main one, the one providing 300mb/sec over FVA does not.

Mostly because my files stay on my hardware, on my network. In case of internet down/broken/filtered I can still access all my data. That is one of the points of self hosting. Not the only one, granted, and maybe not even the most critical, but having the opportunity, better to host on your turf.

Go ahead the self host on a cloud somewhere, nothing bad about that! Have fun, enjoy, learn and be digitally independent is the core of self hosting.

Ok, i misunderstood!

Why use an external cloud? While its technically still kind of self its not self hosted anymore IMHO. You would still be running your services, but on somebody else, rented, hardware. While I do the same for a few services (like email), i wouldn’t suggest it for general services that you want to reside on your turf (like immich, music, 'arrs, passwords, whatever)

Why not an an android build? It’s Godot after all…

Edit: sorry, mixed up go with godot… Forget my comment.

How do I find out if the ISP is handling me a single address or a /64 or whatever?

Mm no, not using dyndns. I am missing IPv6 support on the LAN side… But I have it on the wan side
