In some cases you trade the purchase history information for the 2% cash back or whatever.

You can also use a service like privacy.com to get credit card numbers for online services for a modicum of privacy.

I had friends who were addicted to ingress even though they knew it was vacuuming up their usage data, years before Pokemon Go

Mastodon Says App Downloads Up 47% on iOS Amid Twitter Exodus by sem in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] sem 2 points 9 hours ago

Yes, and if you follow people you're interested in. There is an account called https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows which posts themed lists of interesting accounts. I followed Cory Doctorow because I knew he was on Mastodon, and then followed a lot of people who posted interesting posts that came across my feed from people I didn't follow yet. There's no algorithm so you discover stuff more naturally as people you follow share stuff, and you decide to follow that too

It's true. When the power is out because of snow is the best because the cars drive less

Every day that I play Pokemon Go, I'm aware that I'm making a Faustian bargain for motivation to take a walk in exchange for my privacy.

I like taking a walk / being outside, because all of the power tools/ leaf blowers/ ac units are shut off and the world is finally quiet

Yeah I don't know why, I never really got twitter. But Mastodon was addictive for me. I always want to see what people are posting

Looking for feedback on simplifying self hosting (self.selfhosted)
submitted 2 weeks ago by sem to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hi all,

I started self hosting nextcloud only. Now I have a domain name and I would like to selfhost more services and websites on subdomains without having to open up more ports on my router.

  1. Is it reasonable to use a reverse proxy server to avoid opening up more ports?
  2. Can I use a reverse proxy manager that simplifies SSL certs, etc?
  3. Can I put the HTTP/HTTPS services behind a reverse proxy, behind a free cloudflare DNS proxy to mask my IP address?
  4. And put other non-http services on the real IP address.
  5. Will all of this be more prone to failure and slow compared to forwarding 443 and 80 directly to my nextcloud server?

The other services I would like to eventually host and have accessible externally are

  • Jitsi
  • Mastodon instance (hoping to make some bots that mirror other social media to bring them into Mastodon)
  • blog website
  • Veilid maybe
  • OpenVPN over TCP on 443 (to get through restrictive firewalls on e.g. school wifi networks that don't whitelist domains)
  • Synology to Synology backup.

I'm hoping to use Yunohost on a RPI to simplify hosting a lot of these things.

Here's my plan where I'm looking for feedback. Am I missing any steps? Are my assumptions correct?

  1. Install reverse proxy on yunohost; configure cloudflare DNS and freedns.afraid.org to point towards the reverse DNS server.
  2. Configure the reverse DNS to redirect various subdomains to
  • the raspberry pi running nextcloud
  • the other raspberry pi running openvpn
  • the Synology running the backup service
  • services running on the yunohost raspberry pi

I have not been able to find good documentation about how to configure the yunohost reverse proxy, or how to deal with HTTP headers, or have correct certificates on all the subdomains as well as the reverse proxy. Looking for advice on how to move forward and or simply this setup.

I see there is also a 'selfhosted' community that is more broad than tailscale

Hey y'all, I don't want to share too much but do any of you know any good resources for people who want to come back to veganism?

Stuff like help with meal planning.
Navigating social situations.
Psychologically dealing with doing the best you can and making a fresh start.
