It's a bit more complicated but the video I linked suggests using DuckDNS and a Wireguard VPN. It certainly works though in my experience it can be a bit of a pain because of CGNAT. If you have a reliable static or long-lived IP lease on IPv6 though it's much less clumsy.

It can be a lot, I'm a year in and still feel like a noob. I've only just now moved from being behind a cloudflare tunnel to being behind a proper reverse-proxy. That doesn't mean anything to you yet, it will!

There's plenty of guides to get started. Louis Rossman did a 12hr guide on selfhosting your entire life (I still haven't watched the whole thing).

I started here with this guide: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IuRWqzfX1ik It's short, sweet, easy to digest.

If you wanna start super easy.

1. Buy a domain
2. Set up a cloudflare tunnel
3. Roll out whatever using docker
4. Point your tunnel to the docker ports.

This works around CGNAT, and bypasses the need for port forwarding BUT it keeps you reliant on a corpo and keeps all your data moving through their servers, which means low upload limits and your traffic could (see: will) be monitored.

Anything your exposing to the internet should be considered disposable until you know enough to keep a server online safely. Keep backups, offsite. If you have 1 backup, you have no backups. If you only have onsite backups, you have no backups.

Most servers you're gonna want to run will come with relatively detailed documentation for rolling things out, but when it comes to security you'll be on your own. This is because the optimal security configuration for your needs depends on your threat model. Until learning proper network security, I'd recommend paying for a VPS to host your servers on and connecting via proxmox or a similar tool, lest you risk leaving gaping security holes in your home network.

Have fun, happy selfhosting, feel free to DM me if you need assistance, I'm not on lemmy often anymore but my inbox goes to my RSS aggregator so I'll see it.

oh, and PS. Don't selfhost your email, it's not worth the hassle.

My 2¢:

I think it's gamer discourse bleeding out into other fields. Gamers need the newest libraries and the newest drivers or their stuff might not run as well as it possibly could, because gaming is a relatively young but aggressively growing field with the Linux ecosystem in general. Sure games have always been around, but it's never been the focus.

Now that gamers are switching more frequently, and that the average user is likely to play a game occasionally, it's becoming relatively important that packages be up to date for desktop workloads.

GTKMM is also GTK--

GTK is the GIMP Tool Kit

GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program

GNU is GNU's Not UNIX

UNIX is UNiplexed Information Computing System

Ergo: GTKMM stands for G(NU's Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System Image Manipulation Program Toolkit Minus Minus.

GNU is a recursive acronym representing GNU's Not UNIX.

UNIX is a modified acronym representing UNiplexed Information Computing System (UNICS)

G(NU's Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System

Wait I need a copy of that one on unexpected wobbling in non-wobbling systems, I need to up my ksp game

And if I carry a modern dumb phone designed for privacy and listen to my music on an mp3 nugget?

Plus it's not just about privacy, thats just a big thing.

Consider this scenario: every time you want to listen to a song, you have a to grab your record from next to the cocaine, take it over to the record player next to the heroin, and do your best not to shoot up or rip a line while you get everything set up. That's what using a smartphone is like for a lot of people. There's nothing wrong with the device itself but the way they're used as insidious addiction peddlers with the ticky-tocks and the instant-reels and the infinite-scrolling endless stream of mid content and ragebait.

$80 to buy the scanner yourself and never have to drive a mile down the road to have another undertrained cashier tell you your O2 sensor died again.

If I never see another P0134 I'll die happy.

Some people are actively trying to pull out of using their phones for everything. A phone is a phone, its for communicating. If you have a smartphone, sure use it as a PDA. It isn't for anything else and won't offer the best experience without concessions, nowadays those concessions often being privacy.

How is the audio quality on those? I've got the sp and was considering setting it up as an mp3 player for when I'm off grid but I don't have the spoons to do if it's gonna suck.

I don't want Palantir guarding my anything, especially my rights.

Hi, former optician here, your glasses are probably fine quality wise but you should consider updating your Rx more often, at least every 2 years. Eyes change more than people tend to think they do, and since our lenses can be adjuated with muscles we often don't notice when our vision begins to deteriorate.

I have a total correction of about -3d in each eye, but if I dont put my glasses on in the morning I don't need them and can go through my day normally. As soon as I put them on and am hit with the strain relief though I'm unable to go back to not wearing them for the rest of the day.

Edit: for clarity, I was an Optician, a lens technician. Not an optometrist/ophthalmologist, my experience with eyes is purely through being in the field where people get equipment from, NOT from actual medical experience.
