I actually had a good laugh at this... Then I had to login to my second account to up vote this twice.

I'm not American, or in the US but there needs to be something you guys can do. Its insane what's going on there.

Just know that (most of) the rest of the world is behind you when you're out there protesting for a change! <3

My dad, a Canadian living in Asia, is a trump supporter. This is exactly how our conversions go over the phone until I hang up.

I couldn't watch this all the way through. When we argue its just bullshit. Zelenskyy has peoples lives on the line and there's no talking to trump. I feel so bad, how I feel after getting off the phone must be nothing like how Zelenskyy feels right now.

Man, this must really fucking suck for you, I'm sorry. I can only imagine how Zelenskyy feels leaving that room, I feel really bad.

Kind words are not going to work any more. Americans need to get their house in order. If the majority of American should have voted against Cheeto and this wouldn't be happening. That didn't happen so now you need to protest, get out there and show Elmo and Trump that this isn't what you want. Force him to step down and get someone else in, this is nuts.

Ovpn has been solid for me.

Canadian here. I got 500/500 for $50 cad after tax. 1000/750 is $65 but I'd have to upgrade my hardware.

I deployed it for my last employer on our linux environment. My buddies who still work there said Linux was fine while they had to help the windows Admins fix their hosts.

Wasn't startpage sold to a advertising company?

So really, I just need to host my own instance to see votes. Nice.

It just never ends. I'm so happy I've moved to Debian.

What flavour?

You've made 32 comments. 300MB a day must be mostly cache content from other instances that you're viewing. I don't see any reason to keep that past 30 days. I might even say 14 days.

I have a couple hours today. I've set up an instance pretty easily. Resources with just me doesn't seem bad at all. Your other comment about illegal uploads is what's holding me back from making a public one. Not only do I not want to be a mod, I don't want to see that shit. I have a hard enough time seeing the thumbnail of some lemmyNSFW before I can block it.

I love that tailscale/wireguard doesn't reply to UDP packets without the key. I only have the one UDP port open at my house. All my hosts are on tailscale. Sadily Matrix and Lemmy need to be public public.

You could really mess with people and use admin@ctrlaltelite.xyz but not have it as the admin account. hah. You host it at home or out "in the cloud"? Curious what others do.

I have a couple VPSes for my Tailscale exit nodes and one as an ingress/proxy for my selfhosted stuff at home. They're all super cheap and have unmetered* network connections. Kubernetes on some PIs and Lenovo tinys support all my services at home.

If you are going to host an instance open to public registrations you need moderation. Even if it’s just to keep the spammers and trolls at bay.

Yeah, good point. Lots of things to consider. Thanks for this!

I'll have to read about local laws and if I can get in trouble for what the users do/upload. I have no interest in dealing with legal shit... If I'm safe then I'll have to see how much people charge for storage these days. I don't really want to run it from my house and I don't have a lot of disposable income to run it out in the internet somewhere.

I assume lemmy doesn't clean up images after X days/years? it would be pointless if it does... I'm a datahoarder but paying storage costs to host this stuff doesn't fit in the budget. I guess I have a lot of things to consider. Thanks!

Yeah, Thank you for this.

It sounds like I'll also have to store any images my users upload. I'm all for free speech and being anonymous online so I'll avoid logs and the like but I guess I'll have to read Canadian law to see if I want to risk running an instance or not. I cant afford a lawyer, nor do I want to deal with anything that goes along with that.

When I finally look into it I'll make sure to let you know. Are you going to selfhist yourself or just want to use it if I actually set it up? Maybe you can help me host it. Lol

Would that allow someone to still post/upload on other communities? Honestly haven't looked into this at all. Was going to in a couple weeks when I have time to actually sit down and test

I'd love to self host one for everyone but not allow communities. The idea would be that I federate with everyone no matter what and leave a what the user wants to sub to up to them. No censorship at all.

Not having communities would mean I don't have to worry about what I host and have other instances defederate with me. Plus, I have no interest in being mod, dealing with DCMA,user reports, etc.
