Nextcloud has been a pretty good switch but it is getting unwieldy and a swiss knife with a million tools. Run my own email server switched from gmail, but it is a pita VPS server is contabo - not the best but pretty cheap and is European - never really looked into how european they are though and they have US datacenters

It is also about confidence which is a real short term thing. First thing I was taught in Economics lessons was governmental policy and fiscal policy rely on confidence - a no-confidence vote is exactly how most governments fail, the same is true of how a fiscal policy pans out. One bad decision can ruin confidence and bingo we are looking at a crisis

you know that the new online safety act mandates age verification for pretty much anything don't you?

[–] 3dcadmin@lemmy.relayeasy.com 1 points 14 hours ago

to be fair they are forcing age verification on everything... can't see FB/Meta being clever enough to sort it out though

for future reference there are a few ports that need to be open for let's encrypt to work, and it has a very small timeout (as you have found) so if the dns isn't great it fails. Cloudflare will cache your site/dns so usually works

I take it back. Funkwhale is working again.... Discourse is gone for ever though as Discourse themselves only want docker installations moving forward

To move your photos from google I recommend Immich. Is available as a docker container, or yunohost though don't use the official yunohost version there is a better version that supports HEIC and some other formats. You can find that here though

It is still easily installed using yunohost but upgrades are manual

+1 for yunohost, though it can be a slow solution. However it will get something up and running easily, provide certs etc. and let you start out on self-hosting. With a half decent old pc you can host a load of services. You could run your own lemmy instance for example. However a lot of newer things are often broken or fail to work in Yunohost (funkwhale and discourse are a couple of things that are beyond redemption)_

That's because they are free. You really do get what you paid for - or not in this case. It's in the t&c's too

There is something in that, plus the internet in general seems to be getting dumbed down a lot. Fedi also seems very much a place full of extreme views which for a lot of people is just a turn off. As a bloke seeing loads of content that is obviously sexual is also something I thought we'd seen the last of...

It should, and yes I used to think that. I'm in the UK and some routers just fail to work properly with higher port numbers, especially cheap routers from cheaper providers. Once you start getting above 8000 the traffic is limited thus me saying try a lower port number. Plus yunohost doesn't really ask for a port number as you should add a domain first, then install the application (it uses docker btw) on that domain, then cloudflare to the domain. So the port number isn't required. I'm guessing, but can't be sure, that this is the real issue. yunohost adds a self signed cert and configures the firewall etc. so if you don't do it right using a cloudflare tunnel it just doesn't work. I'm guessing the OP hasn't done it like this, and then it will never work - believe me I've tried. yunohost also adds fail2ban, firewall inside yunohost and various other ways to protect what is served

 

Microsoft has confirmed it is to axe another 9000 with its continued push into AI. I just find it incredible because for me AI is NOT the answer in any way shape or form.....

I'm genuinely interested in people thoughts about the Fediverse because here in the UK it has massively stalled in 2025, like a lot of things. I am seeing way less posts from UK people and way less interaction and general use in fact. Most seem to have stopped social media use to be fair, and I know a lot of that is to do with my age (old fart here, 56 laps round sun and counting) but the numbers game look poor from my point of view. Do we think the Fediverse has a future now after useage appears to be going downwards? Is it a UK thing? (well I know the UK is weird but hey)
