found this, and it looks interesting.

no worries. Just wanted to warn you in case you didn’t know. :)

I don’t know, but I expect it’s having an issue because i assume the port is forwarded from your router to your caddy, but then the caddy server it redirecting back to the router. I don’t know how you’d get around this. but that might be a starting point for your research.

ETA: Also, it’s a bad idea to expose your consumer grade router to the internet. VERY bad idea.

You have to think about the extra costs, like power use , loudness etc. I have no idea what your server would be like, but it’s something to think about. FWIW, i reused my old desktop (it’s pretty beefy) into a server, but i run a pi now, because it was costing me a fair bit to run in power usage.

on the plus side, when the AI bubble pops, hardware will be soooooo cheap

do NOT open SMB to the internet. You will get crypto’d in minutes. Just a warning for any newbs coming here.

I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searxng, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).

water ISN’T wet. It makes things wet though.

did you miss the part where he said that legitimate sources were… infected?

yup. I was using my old desktop as a server. Thankfully though, it has 32GB RAM and a 8 core CPU. I use ras pi as a server now isntead, because it’s far less power hungry.

no job is worth killing yourself over.

You can sure as shit bet I’m not getting into a FSD tesla. Hell, I probably wouldn’t even get into a normal tesla.

I said this would happen, and got downvoted.

I can’t stand AI, but the few times I’ve used it, I’ve used it as a starting point. Once it gives me advice, I then go and confirm that with other sources. But I don’t use AI much.

I’ll stop using YT before i start watching ads.

interestingly, it resolves it. hmm. I don’t know. I tried a few domains after a while of having the custom dns set up, and it resolved all of them.

nah, the pihole is set to every dns available minus google for external addresses.

btw, I have set local connection to true

yup, BW is awesome. and mostly free. I use BW too, but not self hosted.

one thing I’m not willing to self host is vault/bitwarden. My whole life is based in my password manager. I imagine Bitwarden inc has a lot better security than me, and if I lose access to it I’m stuffed.
