Initally some local site, then I transferred to GoDaddy, then to OVH (since GD is shit). One is still at Cloudflare (tried to move there, but they don’t support al TLDs that I use, like “.eu”).
For DNS I use Cloudflare. They provide a layer of privacy, i.e. your server IPs don’t get exposed directly.
Is this possible? I’ve heard, that no matter what you do as an expat you’ll always have to file taxes for the US IRS.
From the point of view of the US, is renouncing citizenship even a thing? For Turkey for example it is not. You just can’t “delete” your Turkish citizenship.
I recently started using https://github.com/immich-app/immich
It’s basically a self hosted Google Photos and it’s working really well. You can just mount your heap of photos into the container, declare it as external library and you’re good to go.
After a few hours/days of training the face recognition, extracting meta data, generating thumbnails ans possibly transcoding videos you’ll have a very responsive and easily searchable timeline of ALL your pictures and videos.
Will do! Just a moment…
I did the whole “GDPR, delete my stuff dance”. They replied with “you have to delete your posts yourself”. I didn’t budge, gave them the required 30 day ultimatum, but they gave zero fucks.
VPN limiting your bandwidth? Sounds like a CPU issue. You’ll be surprised how much CPU overhead it takes to encrypt and decrypt traffic at such high speeds.
For a meal with a soup as a starter you’d set the table like this:
Fork, plate, knife, spoon
Now take away the plate and you have the, for ne most logical way of putting cutlery into the drawer.
One warning, though: After moving, you’ll probably need another Google account again, to use the Play Store… it sucks.
I did as well, but then I went Microsoft and never looked back. Google’s platform still feels like a shitty startup with missing stuff everywhere, compared to Azure (or AWS).
The only thing I’m missing is Google Photos, but there are self-hosted alternatives out, that I’ll try soon.
I mean, they kill services willy nilly. Sure Gmail will probably survive, but the rest drove me away (Reader, Music, …).
Regarding your Android purchases: At the time of my move I went through my list of apps I bought and tallied the ones up, that I still used. It was less than $50 of repurchases.
Don’t let those old purchases hold you back. Cut this old baggage loose.
Do NOT self-host email! In the long run, you’ll forget a security patch, someone breaches your server, blasts out spam and you’ll end up on every blacklist imaginable with your domain and server.
Buy a domain, DON’T use GoDaddy, they are bastards. I’d suggest OVH for European domains or Cloudflare for international ones.
After you have your domain, register with “Microsoft 365” or “Google Workspace” (I’d avoid Google, they don’t have a stable offering) or any other E-Mail-Provider that allows custom domains.
Follow their instructions on how to connect your domain to their service (a few MX and TXT records usually suffice) and you’re done.
After that, you can spin up a VPS and try out new stuff and connect it also to your domain (A and CNAMR records).
A self-hostes RSS reader? Probably the ability to read your stuff from anywhere without installing something. Like on your work PC… ;)
Media Server? No content backup at all.
If you lose everything, just download new stuff you want to watch, or redownload a few TV series/movies.
Music? There are streaming services.
Only backup configurations and maybe application data, so that the reinstall will be easy. Those few kB/MB could sit anywhere. I’m using GitLab for this purpose.
Edit: Images! If you have your photos on there, back them up! They can’t be replaced!
If a woman showed interest (lolol), I’d unironically be inclined to ask her who she works for…
There’s no hope for me anymore.
Not at all. I’m in bed and what I’m wearing is destined for the laundry basket.
I have had this issue for about a year, while trying different monitoring and logging solutions to try and find out what’s going on.
This was such a bitch! Now I’m spreading the word, so that other won’t suffer as long as I have.
Hahaha! I’m keeping this typo 😂
Do you run your PiHole on top of Docker? There’s an issue with docker and Raspberry Pis which makes the network crap out periodically. So if your PuHole becomes unavailable until you restart your Pi it might be this:

Solution is to add “denyinterfaces veth*” to the dhcpd.conf
Yes! I have read OPs comment and just thought to myself: “No filter, either 0% or 100% engagement, nothing in-between… sounds like ADHD”
OP, get yourself checked out, there’s medication that helps you dialing down your “participation”. You always go full throttle, and these pills probably help to find those “thottle values” between all-the-way and isolation.
More efficient or even lossless, sustainable energy storage.
