  • Installing self-hostable services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ???

    Jump

  • I mean I get what you’re saying. And certain things I really do want in my house. But at this point I feel like we disagree on a definition which is just kind of silly. As someone else said that used the distinction of home-hosted and self-hosted. I like being in control of my stuff and I think we both agree on that.

  • I am running the software. I set it up. I maintain it. I can change it to whatever I want. It is therefore self-hosted.

  • So this is like a landlord “investing” in the renter for the renter to pay his rent.

  • Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Some things it makes sense to host in your home. Things like large media, home automation, etc. Some things it doesn’t. Like DNS, service that require large amounts of egress (most home internet is very asymmetric), anything with a more public face.

    Generally it boils down to privacy and reliability. If it’s private, keep it home. If it needs more reliability, put it on a VPS.

    My home hardware is just not reliable enough to host something critical. I have redundant systems but it might take a bit to get stuff back.

    This idea of it not being self hosted because it’s on somebody else’s computer is just weird.

  • Before social media/internet/cell phones/landlines/payphones; how would 2 friends living across the same city arrange in person meetings and stay in touch?

  • The further back you go, the more likely your guests were going to want to live with you for a while.

    As an introvert this might as well be a horror movie.

    what is some advice you have for a freshly 15-year-old girl/enby like me?

  • I’ve never understood trying to get help from strangers on the internet. Yeah you might find some decent folks with real advice and help, but generally I wouldn’t bet on it.

  • More like capitalist architecture…

    Edit: I’d rather see little communities of tiny houses with central services like a little bodega, laundry-mats, parks, greenways, etc. within walking/biking distances.

  • GOP rep gets more than he bargained for from Jack Smith over Trump threats

    Jump

  • Not that it will matter, but I’m glad all this stuff is in the open. Jack knows where all the bodies are buried.

    But determining the truth is not what the GOP wants. The exchanges were childish and misleading at best, or more correctly gaslighting and just plain mind numbingly ignorant and sycophantic. If there ever comes a reckoning, this will be a pillar of the evidence against them. I would be so happy if there is before I die but I’m not hopeful.
