I don't recommend hosting a Lemmy just for yourself. How federation currently works is it mirrors EVERYTHING. Your disk will be filled up with images you never even view and you put yourself at risk of having illegal imagery on your machine if you don't actively keep up with which instances you must ban.
OP's security concern is valid. Different CAs may differ in the challenges used to verify you to be the domain owner. Using something that you could crack may lead to an attacker's public key being certified instead.
This could for example be the case with HTTPS verification (place a file with a specific content accessible through your URL) if the website has lacking input sanitization and/or creates files with the user's input at an unfortunate location that collides with the challenge.
This attack vector might be far-fetched, but there can certainly be differences between different signing authorities.
While I believe they really could, that would be really stupid. Is creating a hotspot with your phone suddenly also not allowed? Because that's all it essentially is.
How close to vim's functionality is evil mode? I've been toying with the idea of learning Emacs but I rely on Vim's langmap and that is rarely implemented in Vim emulations / bindings.
One week later and I've since looked into, ordered, and received a few pebblebee trackers. I'm very pleased with them so far. I might check how they track by leaving one at my partner's place and checking if I can find it on the map.
I work a lot with remote servers. I locked myself out in a similar way once or twice before. I felt like the dumbest person alive every time it happened.
You can actually (for now) just replace gitea with forgejo while keeping all the files in place and it just works. Really easy then using docker, cause all it takes is changing the container image.
It's extremely invasive, but I won't give up playing something that my friends all enjoy once in a while. The best hope is that companies realize that Steam Deck and other efforts make companies consider other markets.
