Don’t buy Apple. As simple as that. You know when a company gives you the creeps? That’s how I feel about Apple.

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.

Joplin I think, or Trillium but that one could be less user friendly.

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”.

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

One step towards avoiding misuse is to stop considering porn to be misuse.

A good decision.

It’s worth mentioning that this impacts only US vehicles from those brands.

It should be a signature that is sent together with the ActivityPub Object. Yes, if the signature doesn’t match, the content, whether a post, comment, favorite, upvote, etc… should be dropped.

Here is the source code of the library that lemmy uses to handle incoming objects and you can see that it does a call to verify the signature of the actor:

Messages are sent with a digital signature that only the original instance could craft.

Check out the Onyx Boox which might cost a bit more but run a version of Android.

This might have to do with downtime on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml which prevented them from getting the request to delete the comment.

It’s a shame that people are still using that platform.

If you visit their homepage. You can fetch your local post if you take that url from their homepage and paste it in the search page of your instance.

Wrong community?

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

You should be able to purge the user if you visit their profile.

Close the windows, curtains and shades during the day, at around 8-9AM. When it’s very warm outside, open windows are your enemy.

Open windows, curtains and shades during the night when temperature is lowering.

Who would be so pissed at lemmy.world to DDoS them?

They might want to consider using Cloudflare or a similar solution if they don’t already.

You’d need to take your site down for a while since write access is necessary to that table to avoid duplicates. But yeah, once you’ve done a vacuum full you could find a way to each day trim old entries.
