Free speech absolutism is what ruined all the failed Reddit alternatives, including Voat. For the sake of growth or simple naive idealism, extreme voices inundated the moderate and saner opinions. Who wants to settle down on such places?

Comments on Migadu? I'm looking to migrate from Mailbox after they announced their new price schemes.

Need to make that with buldak noodles.

Google did some creative rewriting and killed half the joke. It actually says something like: "If you need mom[,] feed yourself you must. Covering! Thank you!"

The original spanglish also has a spelling and grammar mistake: cubieta -> 'cubierta' (fem. part. form of "cubrirse") which doesn't fit at all here.

It should eventually be condensed into a whitelist(subscribe) / blacklist(block) function, with more granular controls.

It would be awesome if we could use regex, too: like adding *@assholes.instance to the blocklist and add linux@* to the whitelist.

I would love to have it as an option. Instead of blocking chains of [email protected], we should be able to block the entire *@example.com as user setting alone.

Have a dummy account to check local stuff, like market and meeting groups. That's it.

Nice to know there's an actual justifiable use case for what I am describing!

My knowledge is a little dated and I remember messing around dyndns or noip to update my IP many years ago. I guess a simple script running on the router or the host should suffice?

I prefer encouraging small communities grow to become as successful as corpo giants. It's not only about Reddit, it's about avoiding single points of failure.

Selfhosting behind VPN? (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by stonesimulator to c/selfhosted
 

I have played around with yunohost and other similar tools. I know how to open ports on router, configure port forwarding. I am also interested on hosting my own stuff for experiments, but I also have a VPN enabled for privacy reasons on my router at all times. If you haven't guessed already, I am very reserved on revealing my home IP for selfhosting, as contradictory as it sounds.

I am aware that it's better to rent a VPS, not to mention the dynamic IP issues, but here it goes: assuming my VPN provider permits port forwarding, is it possible to selfhost anything from behind a VPN, including the virtual machine running all the necessary softwares?

edit: title

edit2: I just realized my VPN provider is discontinuing port forwarding next month. Why?!
