  • Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?

    Jump

  • Yes, always have and always will. The internet is just plain hostile without one. Watching others browse the web without one is fascinating to watch. I don't really care much for the "moral" side of things.

    Just for fun, I checked my self hosted AdGuard DNS and 60% of queries were blocked! That's insane. That's just DNS level blocking.

  • I like the idea of defederation, but conflicted about it's use in practice..

  • I'm more concerned about whitelists where I need to apply for federation with the big players or some sort of automated bot solution that may inadvertently blacklist small, legitimate servers.

  • That is also another concern of mine for self hosting. I know the fediverse is facing a massive bot problem right now and some suggestions of doing whitelists or blacklists to help combat this, so having my own private instance could even be a worse move in the near future.

  • Yea was considering it. Already have a server where I self host a lot of things for my own use. Just concerned about security, as my server isn't reachable via the internet (so security has been a bit "loose" so far since it doesn't really matter) and I would have to open a port for this.

    Also opens a few privacy issues. Either I use my existing domain which would expose my dns records and SSL cert history to anyone who wants to know or just buy a new domain just for Lemmy. Even still through, my IP would be permanently attached to the server which would be public for anyone wanting to follow up my instance. I could try and host it behind a VPN that allows port forwarding, but just adding more complexity and cost the setup..

    Could also just buy a cheap VPS and just use that for just the Lemmy instance so I wouldn't need a VPN. Just feels like it would go a little bit against the self hosting spirit since I actually have my own hardware to do so..

  • Moving away from RHEL based distros, whats good ?

  • What do you mean by this? Its currently based on 22.04 LTS? Can't find anything about them going to non-LTS

  • [Question] How do you handle offsite backups for your setup?

    Jump

  • I am a fan of using Restic. More specifically using Autorestic, which is a wrapper that allows you to easily configure restic using yaml files. Since all of my services are in docker containers, I just have a hook to shutdown all my containers, do the backup, and then run all my containers again. Downtime is not an issue since it just runs when I would be sleeping. Just have it backup to Backblaze B2, which I think you get 10GB free, which is plenty for me right now.

  • Why are the community stats wildly different when viewing from another instance?

    Jump

  • That makes sense. Just a bit confusing, because it can make communities look inactive and put people off of subscribing when going through the explore tab for example.
