  • Is the instance still accepting new users? (Yep, still does!)

    Jump

  • I'm still around, but busy. I'll try to enable push notifications.

  • Can't upload images: {"data":{"msg":"IO error: Os { code: 28, kind: StorageFull, message: No space left on device }","files":null},"state":"success"}

    Jump

  • Thank you for letting me know. I'll have a look into it as soon as possible!

  • e621 desktop client?

    Jump

  • It can be made easily via their API, but depends on what features you're looking for. What is it that you miss from the web version?

  • is there a way to refederate instances just for me?

    Jump

  • Yes, but It's pretty hands off since 99% of security stuff is managed for you by the Lemmy software, including rate limiting. Just make sure you use a secure password and if you want put the instance behind cloudflare which is super easy to do.

  • Access home server from anywhere

    Jump

  • I'd say to start with CF tunnels unless you need non-web based applications. Cloudflare tunnels require you to have a domain, though.

    It has the added benefit that you have network monitoring, logging and some filtering for security that they do on top and you get to manage everything from their web interface.

    be warned that the first time can be a bit confusing, but since it's done using their web interface it's easier than if you have a problem making wireguard work.

    1. Create a tunnel with a public hostname that will be the url to access that service. During the creation of the hostname specify you want it protected by L7 application firewall.
    2. Create a new self-hosted application in cloudflare application section and for starters use the default login email and in rules specify the list of emails that are allowed to login

    you should now be able to access your application from anywhere.

    Alternatively, if you have a DNS server in your home network you can add a private IP range to your tunnel. Let's say 192.168.0.0/24. Then when you connect with their pseudo-VPN (cloudflare warp or cloudflare ONE) you can directly use your home network's ip address from that device. If you tell your device to use a local DNS server that resolves your internal services, you'll be able to connect to them that way.

  • How to setup my own home server and make it available to anyone?

    Jump

  • Install proxmox on a computer with plenty of RAM and CPU and you'll be able to create VMs which you can give out or rent out to anyone.

    In regards to access, ipv4 is not a good idea. Especially not residential IP addresses., You should get ipv6 addresses maybe from a tunnelbroker. But anyways, first you need the server with the hypervisor (which is what you're looking for) and then you can slowly run tests, learn and eventually figure out networking.

    Btw, it might be cheaper to simply rent a server, which would solve the issue of ip addresses. OVH has cheap servers and a proxmox install wizard.

    Just please don't use it for anything sensitive until you can find someone to give a quick check up in regards to security to make sure you haven't missed anything. Unlike a regular PC, this one is expected to receive inbound connections which has its risks.

    But don't worry about that too much now. Find an old computer or rent a server, install proxmox and start testing, playing around and learning.

    Edit: chatgpt is good when wanting to learn this stuff. Especially gpt-4, but even gpt-3.5 will do. Just don't trust it blindly as it still messes up about 20% of the time. But it's often better than googling for tutorials since you can't often find what you're looking for.

    Edit2: the setup I propose will allow you to divide a regular computer into 100s of virtual ones limited only by the total RAM, disk and CPU. If you only want a web server on dedicated hardware get a raspberry pi, because my proposal would be overkill. But it's the closest to "being your own cloud provider".

  • The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?

    Jump

  • Am curious. Are you able to run a modern windows 10 virtual machine / virtualbox vm on XP?

  • Will getting a digital bank account let my government track my online activity?

    Jump

  • Yes. If your country is authoritarian use cryptocurrency such as Monero. Even Bitcoin can be much better.

    The bank would know the amount, the merchant and other details even if it's a merchant from abroad. The bank might have a duty to report certain transactions or could be forced to give out a record. Other international payment process or foreign banks will generally not refuse a request if it comes from a country government you are a citizen of.

    You can use crypto to buy gift cards to shop at regular retailers. This is your safest bet if you're concerned about a state surveillance of your transactions.

    Jump

  • The Hot timeline becomes stale if the lemmy server isn't restarted every 6 hours or so, which takes 10 seconds but can't be done on larger instances such as lemmy.world because it kills the queue of outgoing activity.

    This is a known bug and is being worked on. For the time being you should try with "top 6 hours" and "top 12 hours" sorting.

  • Did you find a solution. The above comment with the database query should work. You can access the docker container where the database is running with docker exec -it instancedomain_postgres_1 busybox /bin/sh and then run psql -U databaseuser which by default is 'lemmy'.

    Check docker ps to know the exact name of the postgres container which in your case likely is lemmytalungorg_postgres_1
