I don’t see how. Unless it has, like, 20 predefined stored ads. But even then it might be refreshing in 20 years to see a commercial for Kia. Be like, “Oh yeah! I remember Kia! Man, crazy how long it’s been since Kia’s have been around. Such a bad car.”

This guy quiet quits.

Then go make it.

You get a steamdeck.

ProtonMail. 100%.

I set up custom DNS and catchall so yourcompanyname@saltycowboy.org is really how I filter spam.

Please note, saltycowboy.org isn’t really my domain.

1. Debian, unless I’m doing something specific like Home Assistant OS
2. Yeah, usually. The GUI uses so much system resources just to sit there and be unused. That said I do have a Windows VM for Quicken that I remote into to manage my families finances. Of course that isn’t headless.

Welp, time to find a new instance.

This is how I get books to my Kindle. So, take that to the bank for what it’s worth.

You and me both Obi.

Outstanding!

Lemmy doesn’t. The app might. I don’t use sync but if I’m an app developer I could make money plugging advertisements into my app. If I design the UI well enough, and make the ads unobtrusive, I might just make enough money and not piss anyone off.

Second. I used to self-host Bitwarden. Then I realized it’d be too devistating to lose all my passwords, even with backups. So I moved to their cloud service and paid for my families accounts too.

Joplin tho, Joplin stays on the server with no backup. I should really, really make a backup this weekend.

Why does Kirk climb a mountain?

Because it’s there!

I host in the way that you describe: “service.domain.com”. I use Cloudflare, docker, and Caddy.

I don’t remember any pit falls off the top of my head. Make sure to use HTTPS (port 443). Everything on http is basically open for everyone to see. Caddy should set that up for you automatically, tho. I recently moved to Caddy from Traefik, it’s an awesome tool.

Oh, here’s a pitfall. One time I opened a port, #22, for ssh access to my server. I installed fail2ban on my server. One weekend I looked at my logs and found I’d banned hundreds of IP addresses. Some bot found my open port and then begun attacking the login with some kinda rainbow table. I moved the port from the ssh default to something else and never had a problem since.

Also, and this isn’t a requirement but just useful, I set up a VLAN for my selfhosted server. It’s firewalled from my local network. That way, if someone access’ my server they don’t have access to my whole network.

So, tldr, have fun and midigate risk where you can.

I mean, I’d rather not.

I know it used to. No clue if Apple patched it out in the decade since I’ve tried tho.

Touch screens are a pox upon vehicles, and need to be removed.

I’m reading about Caddy and playing around with it. It seems pretty straightforward. I’ll have to see if I can’t implement it.

This is valuable feedback. In retrospect I didn’t explain my problem at all. I’m really good at reading instructions, pretty poor at asking for help.

I’m going to take another crack at this, after I read up on and learn all about Caddy. At first glance it looks like it takes away a lot of my pain points from Traefik.

Is that true? Like, I believe that it’s true. But surely this isn’t a story that broke.
