I think its not about the property of beeing a metall ist a bout beeing ferromagnetic (In that case probably not an issue because these bearing balls are usually out of some kind stainless steel. )

Wow: Balls of Steel AND Darwin Award at the same time…

Never got warm with all the UIs available. But things change very fast on that front. For me it looks like that they only differ by the time it takes to provide support for the newest headscale version. Just take the one supporting yours :) For SSO , the OIDC provider from Nextcloud is working as good as any other. Having some kind of static IP also helps but the headscale server runs on HTTPS port plus some optional ones (not sure if I remember correctly) dynamic dns should be ok as well.

Exactly opposite in my case. My First last name in combination with the city I’m live in and year of birth is still far from sufficient to make the link. It has become a real superpower

Yes… sry wasn’t clear about that…

My two cents: Hugo+HTTP-Server should perform better when confronted with all the AI crawler bots as only a static site is served. Lemmy or Pifed is diffrent in that aspect. For small blogs it shouldn’t matter (jet)…

I did it about 8 months ago… it just works like black magic. It’s a “fire and forget” VPN, but SSO is a must in my opinion; otherwise, key exchange is too tedious.

3. Technology breakthrough: Manufacturing more ram for less money.

Yes the gamma rays even disinfect your wohle immune system… actually you are dead within 1min close the the handrails…

Ideology wise I’d consider it as western but not what usually is associated with “The West™” in geographical means.

Cool, also like the style of the blog, however the “Loading…” animation is kind a strange. It lasts almost 2sec , while the page data is completely loaded after 500ms or so.

I absolutely feel your pain. However, there is also the side that all this complexity must be handled somehow. The other extreme is that you’d have to compile all the software and its dependencies from scratch, as well as read and understand the source code.

In the end, it boils down to the people who actually care (like you, who is probably one of them) to exercise caution—looking at the output of curl https://some.rando.url/install.sh before doing the | sudo bash -c and constantly insisting on the validity and absolute necessity of signature checks, transparency, and so on. Meanwhile, all the other folks get at least a foothold in self-sovereignty without being completely smashed by the details of compiler flags.

On top level it is refreshing that there are still democratic countries in the world where the politicians are kept responsible for there decisions. We could have good use for a portion of this attitude in the western hemisphere too…

All these speeds the providers advertise (especially the faster ones) are often cut down by bad peering. I often had an issue downloading bigger files from my storage when I was traveling. Only got some single digit MBit transfer speeds due to bad peering, while speed tests has shown decent results. When it comes down to Selfhosting the upload/download figures alone not always tell the truth. In my point of view 20Mbps is actually even sufficient for most of private stuff, even streaming HD content to one ore two peers simultaneously.

I will say, these days, anything less than 10/10 is criminal. 20/20 is slow but manageable. 30/30 is more than most normal people realistically need,

… till the start torrenting

Unless you’ve been arrested and are in pretrial detention without access to any devices that would allow you to do that. But in that case, the Arr stack on your server is probably the least of your problems.
