I didn’t know that, could you give an example?
I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as [email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.
I didn’t know that, could you give an example?
I don’t think this is a fair comparison. Fireworks launch a lot of nanoparticles, metals, and other harmful chemicals in the sky and directly worsen air quality while many Lemmy servers (lemmy.world
included) use renewable energy.
It’s a mobile app for server monitoring that doesn’t require installations on the server.
Also, is this tone really necessary?
The server-side software is optional and only for push notifications and home screen widgets
Security by obsolescence
Yes, plain text was more of an analogy
It’s E2EE therefore you can’t just use an IMAP server that works with “plaintext” data.
Yes, it seems to be a hit or a miss. I don’t think I live near any central infrastructure or ISP, especially not this specific part of the city.
No, I’m currently using Tailscale but have been considering switching to Netbird to not be reliant on Tailscale.
he specified static website, which rules out WP
Oops missed that
EDIT: And I missed Immich too
You don’t have to be successful to get hit by bots scanning for known vulnerabilities in common software (e.g. Wordpress), but OP won’t have to worry about that if they keep everything up to date. However, this is also necessary when renting a VPN from said centralised services.
You can simply set up a VPN for your home network (e.g. Tailscale, Netbird, Headscale, etc.) and you won’t have to worry about attacks. Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.
Ip address doesn’t expose where you live.

Tunnels stop you from opening a port so nothing is exposed openly to the internet1 but it does not keep your ip private2.
This is also incorrect.
This is false. Some ISP’s change IP’s often, but some don’t and sometimes geoip lookups can be really accurate. My IP has remained the same since I moved in, and a geoip lookup results in a coordinate less than a kilometer away. It does matter.
Yes, but if you host a public site it might be a better option, the content is public anyway, and you won’t get doxed if you publish something controversial. It’s a trade-off, between keeping traffic private or keeping your IP private. Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.
I thought ghost was for blogging only
Wouldn’t that be slow?
Yes, but it does expose your own IP address and thus where you live. Tunnels don’t.
I also use this and can recommend it
