I used Njalla. It worked fine for me and was really simple to manage. In the end I decided to switch since their strength is also their weakness. You don’t own the domain, they own it. They register it to their name and you can manage it but when they go bankrupt (doesn’t look like it) or decide you are violating their terms (and maybe you aren’t but they still decide that you are) they can cancel your service and you are not able to get your domain back, since it was never in your name.

There are stories from people who lost their domain. But I only heard about this from others and I always find it questionable about why these people are coming out with these kind of stories, were they really not violating the terms or were they and are just upset that they got caught…

Njalla works this way to make sure nobody knows who you are and who registered the domain, because even if law enforcement would ask for the owner at the tld registrar they would get Njalla as the owner. And you don’t need to let Njalla know who you are, so that’s where it ends. But in the end I got nervous that someday they would cancel my domains or that they decided to stop the service and I would lose access to my domains and email. Is that a legit fear? Probably not. I have had domains with them for 5 years and never had a problem. You can transfer your domain since you can request the transfer key via the admin page and you will recieve one instantly. So you don’t really notice not owning the domain until something happens. Would I recommend them? Sure, if you want extra privacy and are fine with no ability to prove ownership of a domain might something happen.

I now have my domains at https://flokinet.is/. A company based in Iceland. The site is from the '10s and the billing section is slow but they where mentioned as a privacy friendly option as well and apart from the transfer (I did things wrong with DNSSEC and they where a bit slowish with response, but mostly due to my impatience) I haven’t had a problem with them.

Thanks, that’s good to know. Going to update it right away, hopefully this will solve my problem.

That looks nice. Added it to my list to look at. Thanks.

You’ve got a good point with Home Assistant. I have automations setup so that I barely have to do anything manually. So I almoat forget that Home Assistant runs quite a lot in my home. And especially in the beginning it was nice to setup but not really needed. Know it is needed.

I didn’t know if this was something I was missing, but man this could be my new number 1. The import function is really great. I’ve already added a lot of recipes. Thanks!

I’ve installed it as well but the blackout/redact feature didn’t work as expected…So not sure if it will be that useful for me. But since I ditched Adobe, I now at least have a PDF editor.

You’ve just made me waste the next 2 days, because this sounds great! Only thing I’m a bit hesitant about is trusting all bridge makers. I’m a bit more aware that I use a lot of FOSS where it could be easy for the dev’s to just go rogue. But that’s still better than giving it away to some closed source company.

Looks really great. I’m depending on Synology for CalDav and WebDav but if I can move away from that to make switching NAS in the future easier, that would be great.

I don’t get why they say that? Sure, maybe the attackers don’t know that I’m on Ubuntu 21.2 but if they come across https://paperless.myproxy.com and the Paperless-NGX website opens, I’m pretty sure they know they just visited a Paperless install and can try the exploits they know. Yes, the last part was a bit snarky, but I am truly curious how it can help? Since I’ve looked at proxies multiple times to use it for my selfhosted stuff but I never saw really practical examples of what to do and how to set it up to add an safety/security layer so I always fall back to my VPN and leave it at that.

I don’t think so. I do have a keychron keyboard, but that’s just USB C I believe.

Going to try both. Someone else mentioned the dummy HDMI plug as well, so I got good hopes for that. Also going to look into Incuss. Never heard of it before.

Thanks, going to do this as well. I had it on a monitor for a while and all looked fine while logged in on the console. Would be a bummer though if this would be true.

Hmm, this does sound like it makes sense. I got the feeling that as soon as I removed the monitor it would stop working in a couple of minutes. But I thought that couldn’t be. Thanks for the tip! Going to see if that helps and I’m going to update the BIOS.

Thanks, will do.

Blocking outgoing traffic isn’t needed. But was mere a headsup if that is something you’ve alread setup. What router do you have? Usually when you open a port there is a dropdown menu or checkboxes for what kind of connection the port opening is allowed.

If your forgejo host needs to connect to the outside world, you can open the port for incomming traffic only for related and established traffic. That way when somebody wants to connect to your port as a new connection it will fail. So when somebody has bad intentions, it will not work unless you’ve already connected to them in the first place. You need to permit outgoing traffic from forgejo if you block outgoing traffic.

Good to know it doesn’t have all the functions. Feels more and more that they would like to make money out of it. Which is fine, but then I feel less inclined to help them serve the fediverse.

Ah, that’s what my guess was. It couldn’t be that people just gave up on hosting it.

That’s funny I just looked at your site and vacancies today. I do not qualify for any of those spots though. You’ve got an impressive amount of services build up. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I was also doubting about Hugo but came about writefreely as well.
