come on, setting up your own DNS is not difficult at all. For my home network, it’s running in a Raspberry Pi, but before that I ran it locally on my desktop. There’s no way I’d spend 15$ a year to resolve internal addresses.

Sure, you have to be careful with the TLD you choose, but I believe that if the ICANN were to create the .lan TLD, it would be all over the internet first.

I think needing a VPN to access the internal network is a good practice. And if you’re going to be used a VPN anyway, I don’t see why you wouldn’t use a “fake” TLD like .lan for internal stuff, after all it’s just simple DNS rules.

not OP, but feedly is quite privacy invasive. the content you read is very valuable data, self hosting keeps your reading interests private.

yeah the rating system is poorly executed. the articles on the other hand are quite a good read.

thanks, there were some bits there that I was not aware of. This is why the written form is superior to videos, I can quickly scan through the paragraphs searching for the information I want.

I know what Tor is and how to use it, thanks. I was just wondering what the video had to say about Tor + VPNs that hasn’t been said a million times. But I’m not watching video content.

Write an article.

XMPP was there before Matrix and will be there after Matrix dies when the venture capitalists behind Element funding decide to move the money somewhere else.

Matrix is not an “open source project”. It’s a VC funded company.

every comment you make is just supporting that you shouldn’t be trying to self-host an instance. you lack all the knowledge necessary to do so.

if you’re really stubborn about it, your best bet would be paying someone with the proper knowledge to do it for you.

This applies only to their hosted solutions, doesn’t it?

Shouldn’t be relevant for self-hosters.

for starters, it’s Cloudflared.

They admit to be sending your IP to Bing with every search too.

“For example, when you do a search on Ecosia we forward the following information to our partner, Bing: IP address, user agent string, search term, and some settings like your country and language setting”

go with Hugo + a theme Avoid WordPress, static sites have a lot of advantages.

each instance and community has their own policy. you have to either follow it or if you disagree, you’re free to create your own. you can’t do that in Facebook or whatever. so no, just because a random post was removed from a certain instance, it doesn’t mean Lemmy is censored at all.

this has nothing to do with communism.

matrix is VC funded and therefore has a big marketing budget. the XMPP foundation is community maintained and XMPP itself is a public domain standard, so there are not such interests nor capitals investing in it to make promotion.

I’d rather use a real OS, thank you

it’s the same guy but it’s not from the same site. that website doesn’t have a VPS comparison.

default uBlock Origin. default lists are constantly updated to avoid breakage

half of these are not even barely security related.

and if you meant privacy, well, definitely none of the images either. SimpleX, SearXNG, Tor and I2P

PS: I find it hilarious that you include proprietary software like Vivaldi or Obsidian. That is how flawed this post is.
