Repo’s claiming to be a private alternative of XYZ but then use closed source social media such as Discord. Lame.

So you fork open source projects, slap your logo onto them and claim they’re more private?

Hammer meet centre punch.

Suggest paying for a mini PC and hosting off of that opposed to a VPS, having a dedicated machine to tinker with is much easier, just have to beat the upfront cost.

RPi also works but can get sluggish quite easily.

5 contributors, 2 of which are “Ai”’s.

I suspect a -

– Infected repo.

Definitely a cool project if it’s not though!

So instead of having a conversation about this you resort to name calling and insults. Lmao. Lmfao even.

I am definitely more concerned about the chance of someone who is licensed going nuts

How often does this happen in Canada? The odds of someone unlicensed and in illegal possession of a firearm committing this is far greater than what you’re claiming.

than I am about a random postal worker potentially seeing a packaged/secured firearm moving through the system.

1 in 10 Canadians claim to have packages stolen every year but sure, let’s continue to target Canadians who already go through a heavy vetting process by the RCMP and Canadian Firearms Program even more.

I mean you’re not wrong but then this question arises. Do you want someone who is licensed to posses and acquire firearms handling said firearm or a random postal worker?

Buddy of mine ordered a Howa 1500 in 6.5 creedmoor and had it shipped, i think through UPS, and they just left it at his door while he wasn’t home, no signature required.

To make things easier please do not seal packages or envelopes for easier and more convenient access.

Can’t wait for someone to walk into a Canada Post with a rifle or shotgun in hand to ship to a new address.

For the unaware, it’s easier for PAL holders to ship a firearm than take it on a plane when moving provinces.

Just throw your services in a docker-compose.yml file, create a docker bridge network, and assign the:

networks:
    - YourDockerNetwork

To the services in the yaml file, specify the ports it want’s to open with

ports:
    - 8080:8080

And let it start up. If you want to get more complicated suggest reading the man page which really isn’t that long of a read.

Networking really cannot be simplified, you have to view it in a logistical way of how is Point A communicating with Point B which where Docker bridge networks come into play, they make the communication easy, if all your containers are all on the same docker network all you have to do is specify http://ContainerName:Port for them to communicate back and forth internally.

The other thing I tried was deploying an Element server so they could talk to family on their own without risk of exposure to the world at large, but ended up abandoning this.

Matrix is a PIA to configure properly, it is nice to have once you got it running but you’ll end up spinning like 8 different services (if you use Docker) for all the functionality to work.

Additionally, I recommend unbound for those already on pi-hole.

Never could get unbound to work properly, it would always knock my internet out to the point of troubleshooting for hours, whether that be Pi-Hole, OpenSense or Technitium I’ve always had issues with unbound.

As much as I like hosting my own services, I want them to be reliable.

Man I wish I spent time actually learning Proxmox, instead dumped everything into a headless Debian VM and called it a day.

Oh yeah I’m aware, if people don’t want to use a VPN then I suggest this but give them the advisory warning.

Actually, recently I’ve been using a fork of IPAllowList which accepts DDNS addresses, but that usually is for more technical folk who would probably rather use a VPN then purchase a domain and associate it with their network.

Pangolin is based off of Traefik if I’m not mistaken, should be able to use Traefiks IPAllowlist middleware to blacklist all IP addresses and only whitelisting the known few, that way you can expose your application to the internet knowing you have that restriction in place for those who connect to your service.

I’ve been thinking of creating a new account through Tor, so that I could reconnect with my former communities who are still active there since

Don’t create an account, use (or host) a Redlib instance, subscribe to your favourite subreddits and then bookmark it afterwards, that’s what I do.

Matrix runs great out of the box but once you start joining large rooms your server has to synchronize with every instance, this is very taxing on the network and in my experience was essentially DDOS’ing me until I started a cache at the reverse proxy level and forced it to use my secondary PiHole.

Huh, swear I’ve seen this somewhereX
