Your putting words in my mouth. I said no such thing. I made no commentary on validity of what the OP said or didn’t say.
No billionaire should exist. Period.
No one person should amass that much wealth. You grossly misunderstand me. Not that getting through to some internet schmuck means anything.
I didn’t say I hated him. Point where I did? My critque isn’t about him specifically, it is a critque on a broader topic.
I didn’t claim to know where he came from, his life, none of that.
What Is being posited is that billionaires are unethical, they should not exit. This I’d a direct commentary of my disgust with the systems that be.
Move along.
I did criticize him for that. I wasn’t the person you were “arguing” with over what he did.
Not OP, but he’s a billionaire. There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. No amount of work they have done would earn billions.
I ditched reddit, and what’s being described in this thread is largely part if why I left. I won’t go back.
I am not sure if there is a good way to do it without scripting, and a router that would allow for taking variable input from an external script. But theoretically if the router would support it, you could script a port change at times there are no one on the server.
Essentially the server port is in a text file, you could use some command line utilities, and write a script leveraging something like sed to change the port in place.
But I am overcomplicating it. lol
I tried using Bazzite since I didn’t want to fuss with Wayland on Nvidia with Arch.
I had more gripes and more issues with an immutable distro than I ever did with my Arch install.
Stuck it out with Arch. It has taught me a lot.
The problem many folks have with Arch is the fact they don’t want to read or learn; well, newsflash, if you read and learn Arch isn’t exactly all that hard to use, setup, or maintain. It has better documentation than Bazzite and other newer distros. In fact, Arch Wiki has saved me hassle for other distros.
Your mileage may vary. However, I wouldn’t recommend an immutable distribution nec3ssarily to someone coming from Windows unless they want to shift from one paradigm to another.
Switching from Windows to something with such a vastly different approach in many cases will turn users away from using Linux. Their experience can dictate they switch away because of lack of knowledge and then proced to conflate every distro as just one “Linux” experience and not want to look back at it.
I still stand by one thing you will always hear me say: use the right tool for the job.
I will always recommend people to research their choice of distro. Use the right tool for the job.
What one person needs may differ from what another person needs. Take into account what the use case is for the machine you are using.
I use Arch BTW but I don’t run Arch for any of my servers. I use Arch where it makes sense for me.
I wouldn’t tell someone switching from Windows to just go balls to the wall and go for something blerding edge and arguably more maintenance or manual intervention needed.
I will give my suggestions but always implore them to research what theyt3 looking for.
I understand that. I didn’t call FUTO FOSS…
I wasn’t meaning to conflate the two, as I see your point. I didn’t claim it was FOSS, just that the source was available.
I know for me, I don’t mind using software that is licensed so that it doesn’t directly fall under FOSS. I just like the availability to view the source vs closed source software being a total black box.
I have no plans to monetize their work, nor fork it, only use it.
I haven’t gotten around to setting it up yet, but for a google photos type self hosted setup there is Immich which looks promising!
I know I don’t want to open up any more ports than I have to, but you’re right, that does sound like another alternative to setting up VPN.
Since I access more than just my pihole when connected to my home network. And because I want access to my home services, and don’t want to open up access to the public, opening one port and connecting to VPN is the way to do it. I have one port opened up for my VPN, and in order to connect you have to have my IP or my domain pointed at the IP, and you have to have a Wireguard profile setup, and know what port is open. So that does help a tad bit with my security concerns.
Edit: how would I go about that if I felt so inclined? Any tips?
I want to self host more, but power draw is a concern.
So I have gone the route of running to Pi 4 8gb models as my hosts of choice.
So far I am hosting:
Non-Docker:
Docker:
There are a few other services I want to get up, but I haven’t gotten around to it:
As to why:
You can still use PiHole as your DNS when not home if you setup a VPN. For me that was the route I went.
I will likely have to do some tinkering, and more reading up on this from the documentation I am thinking. I am getting HTTP 200 statuses basically across the board. When going to the FQDN it doesn’t redirect to the PiHole admin page like I was expecting. Again, likely some configuration that I have wrong.
Begrudgingly 2 of the 3 are Google email addresses, and 1 is a Microsoft email address. I will however be ditching both of those providers for something a bit more privacy focused soon and making those addresses burner addresses.
Shows in traefik, no errors there.
I hate to report back, but something isn’t quite working for pihole behind Traefik.
running “docker logs traefik” returns no error, and yet no certificate was presented to my pihole.
Not sure what else I might be missing or that I might have wrong.
I didn’t say I hate billionaires. They shouldn’t exist != I hate them. You conflate two opinions that could agree as the same thing.
My stance on billionaires will not change because you thought you hit me with a “gotcha” moment.
Billionaires should not exist because no person can get to be a billionaire without stepping on others to get there. Billionaires aren’t inherently worth more than anyone else.
If billionaires exist at the same time of people suffering (homelessness, medical debt and inability to pay for treatment, starvation, etc and the list goes on) then they shouldn’t exist. That amount of wealth is for sociopaths, that amount of wealth is amassed by those lacking empathy, and moral value.
So take your argumentative behavior elsewhere.
Go back to reddit ya troll.
