It’s just the inevitable exploitation of any word that van be randomly put next to “economy”. It’s a bullshit con is why.

“Meme coin” 💀

That’s fair. Similar situations, different conclusions 🙂

I had similar plans, but I opted for a seedbox instead. It gives me some peace of mind not torrenting on my own IP.

Don’t worry, most of us won’t. It’ll trickle down through abstraction layers from CLW level work to us end users eventually 🙂

You said it yourself — you’re new to self hosting, and CasaOS fits what you want to host. As a starting point for getting rid of hosted services, go with that for a start.

Sure, you won’t immediately be getting your hands dirty mucking about with dockers and stuff, but you will have your working home server. For learning and experimentation, I second @[email protected]’s plan B — use another machine to test building the same setup on a base Linux system.

If you’re like me you probably have an old laptop lying around that wouldn’t be great as an always up, day to day server, but as a testing environment to mess around with docker containers it should be fine?

I use Baïkal on a no-frills webhost. It’s been running for years without problems.

They’re like Cylons

THERE ARE MANY COPIES

AND THEY HAVE A PLAN

Shocker! Good for them, course literature costs a literal fortune.

I didn’t bother clicking through, so grain of salt — wouldn’t torrent indexers and search sites also be included in this many site blocks? Streaming sites seems to be the lowest hanging fruit.

Same, I stay away from /all and only follow my subscribed communities by new.

You say “chance”, I read “intent” 🤷 Mainstream isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

While true, covering up fundamental faults to keep afloat is hardly an example of best practice.

This. Any open website with the notification service described in OP is a potential anti-piracy honeypot. And if setting up RSS feeds is too complex, how is it any more so to wait for a ping and then manually download the film?

Oops, added a suggestion of Simplex before I saw your answer. +1, I guess 🙂

Simplex chat has a default “private notes” chat which is essentially chatting with yourself as you describe it.

Simplex is available for a lot of platforms and devices, and easier to install and maintain than Nextcloud. I’m not sure if it ticks all your boxes, though?

You tried 1234 and password already, right?

Yeah, for one thing deepl is defo not part of the fediverse.

See, I’ll be fine.

You read my mind! Now help me read this dead mechanical drive, would you?
