Some people seem to hate on it, but I love Docker, it works well for what it has to do and has relatively low overhead as far as I can tell. I personally virtualize a Debian server on Proxmox for my containers just so as to keep everything even more compartmentalized, but it takes more work than it’s worth to set up.

And if you don’t like Docker for whatever reason, you can also try Podman which is API compatible with Docker for the most part.

Said in the reply to the other comment here, but I don’t really self host for security/privacy sake. And in addition to that comment I’d also like to say that I do use a YubiKey when possible for MFA. I’m not a security nut enough to care about TOTP (which kinda sucks anyway) all too much but for important things I do use physical MFA.

Fair, although I’ve said in a comment on this account somewhere else, I self host more for convenience sake than anything. I just like having my own password manager, sure it’s not as secure to use it for MFA but it’s better than giving my passwords to Google, LastPass, etc. and then using eg Google Authenticator. Self hosting is more a corporate distrust thing than a privacy thing for me

Doesn’t docker have a flag for limiting system usage? Like max mem, cores/threads etc? I swear I remember using something like this before.

womp womp

I self host Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) so I just use the built-in TOTP authenticator in the Bitwarden app. It’s nice to have it all in one place + having auto copy and paste when I log in. And because I self host, it’s all backed up securely and with (as far as I know) no real backdoors.

ETA: just realized what community this is in. people that replied to me I’m sorry lmao, I’m not a nut about this kinda stuff and I’m by no means recommending this just like using it this way for convenience factor and to keep the likes of google out of my password.

That’s a fair point, I self host stuff more out of convenience over privacy (although that’s still a factor) so I guess I just care less about them watching my traffic I suppose. CF is just so easy with their Argo Tunnels and domain registrar service.

I use their tunnels in conjunction with internal split horizon DNS so I don’t have to forward any ports and can access things locally faster so I’m probably breaking this rule but I haven’t gotten any emails or letters about it yet. Crossing my fingers they don’t care lol

It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything about this but didn’t they change their ToS in regards to media on their network? I thought I read something about that clause getting removed at some point a few months back.

you know how it goes

checks out

“a very few special exceptions” lol

I love forgejo for Homelabbing purposes but Mozilla Foundation has the infrastructure to deploy something like GitLab, which has a much larger feature set compared to forgejo with more targeted toward the development work on large projects. But, Mozilla said the development flow would remain mostly the same as it is now, so most of the features in GitLab, Forgejo, or GitHub will remain unused.

Many security keys have NFC, or if you’re on a modern phone, you can use USB type C (Yubikey 5C)

Ughhhh UBI is flawed because it makes government spending astronomical even with a carbon tax. A Means Tested Basic Income works better than UBI because it prioritizes those who need help the most (e.g. those who are impoverished rather than everyone). I’m not an econ expert but the topic from the National Speech and Debate Association is on fiscal redistribution so I’ve been studying it a bit. I feel really pretentious saying this but UBI doesn’t work as well as Means Testing does.

Yes other people are suffering, but can we just let people care about things? My dad read Perry’s book and felt real emotional attachment to the man, through both their struggles with addiction and mental health. He was completely devastated when we heard about this. Yes there is worse shit to talk about in this world, but Mathew Perry meant a lot to some people, in his acting career and otherwise.

Basically what IverCoder said, but also sometimes I like not having to tinker with my desktop at all. I’m running through an Arch Install on my Thinkpad right now just for the fun of it and I do love this kind of thing, but I’ll admit the concept of plugging in a USB stick, installing a distro in one click, downloading my apps through Flatpak and not having to mess with the CLI a whole bunch is very appealing. Yes you can do that with Ubuntu or whatever but (at least in my workflow) you still have to mess with the CLI a bit.

Basically, I like messing with Linux sometimes but other times I just want a, I suppose Windows-like experience while still having Linux under the hood.

Waterfox is an independent fork of Firefox developed by Alex Kontos. It has several added features such as tracking protection, built in container tab support (eg private browsing in the same window, very neat feature), and Mozilla’s telemetry is disabled too. It’s a lovely little browser in general, I don’t know why I love it so much tho, you could achieve the Waterfox experience with Firefox and some addons probably. Perhaps it’s just the appeal of a (more or less) independent project to me, I don’t know. It has some history too like I think it supported x64 on Windows before Firefox did but I’m not a long time user so that might be wrong. I’d give the website a once-over if you’re interested.

lol thanks, it’s more of a side project atm as I’m juggling school and running IT for my dad’s business but I’m glad to hear it worked for you!
