GoAccess uses your server side access log.

It’s great for your mental state.

Just be aware of any filter bubble you might create. If you block every person that has an opposite perspective, you’ll fall into your own echo chamber.

You seem to imply you also want to selfhost some email service. But that’s sadly one of the few things that will always be better at a trusted third party email provider.

Besides that it seems the most important thing you want is pure data storage, and that kind of selfhosting is not hard. In many cases one would not even consider it as part of “selfhosting” as it can be as simple as a local NAS or external HDD.

So my question is what do you actually want to accomplish? Because I think for a lot of your concerns you don’t even need to go and host something.

I was looking into both of these and it really looked like the fork was supposed to be the continuation of the original one. So this news doesn’t come as a surprise.

I’ll get that info as soon as something breaks, I guess.

The point is not about the app not working, the point is that many free VPN apps rent out your own IP address, often malicious.

Look for “residential proxy providers” and somehow these providers can offer you millions of IP addresses.

I use a Hetzner Storage Box as extra storage to my Hetzner VPS. It almost feels like the storage is directly attached. We serve thousands of archives and binaries and have absolutely no problems. It’s fast and decently reliable (except some downtime I once experienced). The initial file access time might not be the best but the bandwidth is great.

Because they know it’s not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.

This.

They also have a form to submit AI crawlers.

CloudFlare can also easily maintain an anti AI crawler service completely by itself if it takes a fee on top of their pay per crawl functionality. However, considering CloudFlare already has all the tools and infrastructure to do this cheaply, providing a good service wouldn’t be too hard.

I guess the trick is to not look for stuff to host because you’ll end up with all kinds of things you weren’t doing in the first place.

Because Plex used to be good but new it’s just pure enshitification.

The amount of requests my browser is making to that website is insane. POST /elasticsearch/mget every second. Looking at the response I see that the default (probably fake) questions have 1000+ answers.

Hehe butt

You can just export your subscriptions and create an account on another instance in cases like these.

Privacy.

You can be suspicious but shouldn’t just outright start banning them.

Fun little project but I think auth_basic would be perfectly fine instead.

I wanna bet all the CO2 emissions he emits are as much as if he’d sell gasoline cars instead.

Lately the definition has become a bit blurred though. Like how some people only consider something “open source” if it also has a copyleft license.

PRs and issues are not a mandatory part of opensource.

You can literally bundle your code and serve it on some random page on a blog and it would be considered opensource.

No you just continue updating until it’s fixed again.
