  • Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?

  • yeah fair play - I'll go that route. Do you happen to know any content creators who explain stuff well in this area?

    (Context - our self-hosting is part of a wider project to make self-hosting easier, on the cheap, for normies)

  • Does anyone know of a short course I could do/attend that teaches the basics of this networking stuff?

  • I was going to use Cloudflare to sort this, but I'm uncomfortable how big they are getting / lack of competition in that part of the market. So we looked at Pangolin as an alternative, but it's a faff to self host.

    Hence why we're back at exposing it straight out the back of Nginx Proxy Manager.

  • My router says it has NAT enabled (in the WAN settings section - for the internet connection)

  • Thank you for your replies everyone!

    I'm looking into DDNS. Before I go with a provider, I notice that my router has this functionality built in. Should I use that?

    (It's an Asus RT-AX86U Pro - so fairly chunky in terms of spec)

    For reference, the set up is:

  • The UK moves are very worrying. We're trying to help people to move away from big tech at our site https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/

    We recommend fediverse protocols wherever possible - so I'm interested in the comments here about how that is affected

  • Anyone know of a linux tasks app that can open the json backup files from Tasks.org?

    Jump

  • wow! that's quite a serious undertaking..... especially if you need to be able to interact with it e.g. create new tasks, change due dates, mark as done/not done.

    you sure?

  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

    Jump

  • It could be a reducing interest in posting totally public stuff. Perhaps people want to just use group chats in Signal instead?

  • What old technology are you surprised is still in use today?

  • RSS. And very happy that it is!

  • As long as software is available in the Software Manager to be installed that way... I don't care what format it's in.

    But don't make normies go to the terminal. It's inhumane, and really does not help the masses get away from big tech - which is a worthier goal than keeping your software terminal-only.

  • Would SSO every be possible with ActivityPub?

    Like if you built a new app (network) on AP and allow people to sign in with their Mastodon handle?

  • PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app

  • They don't have to be, as far as I understand it. I've installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.

    An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.

    But (and correct me if I'm wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.

  • Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.

  • Why not a PWA?

  • GNU Taler (a swiss FLOSS alternative to Visa, Mastercard and Paypal) begins operating in Switzerland as Version 1.0 releases

    Jump

  • It says "Payments are made after exchanging existing money into electronic money with the help of an Exchange service, that is, a payment service provider for Taler."

    Do they say anywhere who that payment service provider is? And are there options for who to use?
