Thanks! I’ll check with my vps provider.
However, this proxy does not seem to be “within” the tor network itself, right? I’m just connecting someone to the first entry node on the system, correct?
Would I be transmitting unencrypted data? In other words, would an outsider be able to tell that I’m transmitting something illegal to a person accessing tor?
Thanks! Would you be able to elaborate a bit more?
It was my understanding that this is not the same thing as running an exit node.
Interesting, thanks!
I’ve been meaning to host something like this. Tried to do it with wallabag, but couldn’t be arsed to set-up and SMTP server just for the confirmation email.
Honestly? Probably boredom. Computer-related projects are addictive to me.
Haven’t ventured too far, but searxng was my first selfhosted service. It’s very easy, single container, no database.
Yeah I’ve been meaning to look into it.
Just went with pass because it’s what I’m used to, and it’s pretty straightforward. But definitely next on my to-do list.
Makes sense, the people who have both the tech knowledge and conviction on the advantages of selfhosting, were probably the most active posters.
I use shh keys for all my remote machines, set passwords automatically with ansible, and store them with pass.

EDIT:
Just to clarify, ansible can use pass as a password store, so in the ansible playbooks you can write which password you want to retrieve from pass.
You can also call pass from any shell script by writing $(pass <target_password>)
You can always compile it, it’s just a single cargo command. 🤷♂️
Besides what everyone already said, I would emphasize docker. Just take the plunge and learn it. It will make hosting and keeping things organised much easier.
If you want to go the extra mile, you could have a look into ansible, to make your build reproducible. But it’s probably overkill for now. You’d probably take so long to get anything done that you might lose interest.
Less storage space (since you don’t duplicate the data that has not been changed since the last backup), and ability to check different versions / restore / rollback.
Ah thanks!
Yeah that’s gonna be tricky for me then… I really don’t like to deal with driver headaches.
Do you mean hardware-wise, or software?
VScode with “format on save” enabled. Literally never had an issue.
It’s the editor that finally made me move away from vim
I never heard of the orange pi!
Some of the models are very cheap. Have you tried them? If they are as reliable, I might get myself one for a couple of projects.
Do you have some source for that?
I can’t see an old laptop running 24/7 as being close to a raspberry pi performing the same tasks.
Oh never looked into those, thanks!
I wanted to get something to use as a NAS server and/or a pi-hole.
You seem to have conveniently left out power consumption.
I agree they are very pricey these days. Are there any competitiors that offer cheap low-power consumption computers?
Never self-hosted Lemmy, but have self-hosted other things in the past. While you don’t necessarily need to code, you need a fair amount of code-adjacent skills. If you ever want to get into self-hosting, you should have a look into (at least):
If you don’t mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.
Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.
