Another selfhost list

So I upgraded my PC a bit last year which ended up in my having 2 now since I went for an AMD and I have some spare cabinets and RAMs. Well, thing is, my other machine has these specs: ``` Motherboard: MSI H110M PRO-VH PLUS Processor: Intel Pentium G4560 3.50 GHz Cabinet: Sentey Slim SS1-2426 Hard Drive: I think it is a Seagate 1TB RAM Memory: Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 KF432C16BB/8 ``` I would like to run any of the following, multiple if possible: - A Lemmy instance - A private tracker - A Matrix instance So what do you say? Is it good enough for any of this shit or is it a piece of junk? I've been using it to play video games but with another 8gb of ram and it worked okay-ish.

Public interest infrastructure. An alternative to corporate clouds built by tech co-ops. A bit similar to Yunohost.

I have seen the following argument (summarized here as I understand it): *Despite the promises that VPN providers make, it is known that they will often monitor your traffic, collect logs, might share your information, and will collaborate with law enforcement. Renting a VPS and running an OpenVPN server on it and using that as your VPN, is better - because you have full control over the logs. Let's assume we trust the VPS provider to adhere to their TOS and privacy policy.* To talk about a concrete typical usecase, I am thinking about how this applies to downloading illegal torrents. In my current view, the only scenario in which the self-hosted option makes sense is if you pay for hosting using crypto and reveal no personal information during the process. Otherwise using a VPS would be virtually the same as downloading it through your ISP - and in some cases even worse - because the VPS provider might be more easily pushed to throwing you under the bus if abuse is reported since this might be a TOS violation. On the other hand, a VPN provider has a much larger motivation to protect users against this because the way that users perceive these protections is fundamental to their business model. So, is there a reason to self-host a VPN instead of using a VPN provider? If so, should the VPS be acquired anonymously, or are there ways to protect yourself while using a provider that you gave your personal information to?

I bought a 2 bay NAS and I plan to flash it with the TrueNAS operating system. As I was reading the installation instructions I came across a section that said one of the 2 drives will have to contain the boot/UEFI partition, and can therefore be used for nothing else. Am I reading this correctly? I have 2 4TB HDDs that I plan on using in both bays and I'll have to use the entirety of one of those bays just to hold a small boot partition and nothing else? There are also 4 slots available for M.2 NVMe SSDs so I'm looking at using a small SSD for my boot partition there if this is true. My apologies if this is a dumb question as I'm kind of new to this stuff.

Lenpaste v1.2 is out. Lenpaste source code and installation guide: https://git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste. Installation on a Raspberry PI is supported. # UI: History tab History is not transferred to a server, but is stored locally in your browser.  # UI: Copy to clipboard button  # For instance administrators - Rate-limits on paste creation (env: `LENPASTE_NEW_PASTES_PER_5MIN`). - Add default paste life time for WEB interface (env: `LENPASTE_UI_DEFAULT_LIFETIME`). - Add terms of use support (file: `/data/terms`). - Private servers - password request to create paste (file: `/data/lenpasswd`). # Fixes - Fixed a security bug that could cause an attacker to overflow the disk. - Fixed not saving settings in some browsers. - The interface now displays the full name of the language instead of its code. - Fixed compatibility with WebKit browsers (for example: Gnome WEB). # List of public Lenpaste server You can find a list of public servers or add your own public server at https://monitor.lcomrade.su/  PS: I will be glad to receive constructive criticism and suggestions.

I remember reading a post about someone setting up Jellyfin and some other software and essentially just waiting around a few days after shows come out and they end up being available in their media library. Like, some kind of pirating software that just grabs the right media. Is this a thing or am I misremembering?

A few months ago I set up a Pi-hole at home. I tried to create a decent blacklist by first adding some regexes I found online and then doing some manual optimization by finding ads and blocking the ad requester through the queries page. But in the end it did not work so well. I still get a lot of YouTube ads, for example. So I still rely on uBlock for my ad-blocking. I just read that Chrome is planning to start weakening ad blocker plugins. I use Firefox, but it is still worrying that the space could potentially keep moving in this direction over time. So I am now more invested in learning how to have more control over my ad-blocking. Has any of you managed to optimize your Pi-hole to the point that it is possible to browse the internet without an ad-blocker? If so, how did you do it? Are there other good ad-blocking alternatives?

Hi all. I've recently started using IRC to chat with contributors of large open source projects (e.g. Gnome). So I need a service that can store my pasts. So then `pastebin.com` didn't work for me and I couldn't find any good analogues so I developed my own "pastebin". - Source code: https://git.lcomrade.su/root/lenpaste (License: AGPL3, Language: Go) - My instance: https://paste.lcomrade.su PS: If you don't mind telling me what you're missing in Lenpaste. **EDIT** DB Tech, made a video about Lenpaste v1.1.
