It’s all about responsibility or time in my eyes.

Let’s say you can pay $100/month for forums and it’s maintained by someone else. They do updates, manage storage, etc, etc. If something goes down they fix it.

Or, you can self host it for $10/month on a VPS. Are you really saving $90 a month when you’re on the hook for everything? If it goes down, will you have time to fix it or is your time better spent working with a customer to get income?

Now consider this for all the services you need. Which ones are actually worth running yourself?

I need more pictures

Looks like it’s out. I’m not home but I’ve been lurking 4chan and found something I need to try later today

It’s not so much about the ports, its about what you’re running that’s accessible to the public.

If you have a single website on 443 and SSH on 22 (or a non-standard port like 6543) you’re generally considered safe. This is 2 services and someone would need to attack one of the two to get in.

If you have a VPN on 4567 and everything behind the VPN then someone would need to hack the VPN to get in.

If you have 100 different things behind 443 then someone just needs to find a hole in one to get in.

Generally ssh, nginx, a VPN are all safe and they should be on their own ports.

So TACO Tuesday is on the 14th this month?

That title gave me a stroke.

NC is kind of a pain to run and tries to do far to much. I’d pick different software to run than adding addons to nextcloud.

That being said, I add contacts and calendar and use it to sync to my PC/Phone

It seems like it’s everyone these days. I always look at other people at a stoplight and see at least one person every time I’m out.

Thanks, I removed the pic but left the link for context.

Edit: apparently this is really bad google translation.

Yeah, I understand that you were just looking for a notification that you had a message but what I linked is similar to what I do.

I have a self hosted matrix chat and a phone I leave at home all the time. I forward my calls to a VoIP provider and SMS/MMS to the matrix chat server.

On my data only phone I have “acrobits softphone” for phone calls and “Elements” for SMS/MMS, signal, and WhatsApp.

My reason for all this is I HATE typing on a phone keyboard. I use to be shit at texting people back and it’d take awhile. Now I’ll use my PC with a keyboard to reply to people.

Two important things can happen at the same time… This feels like drama that doesn’t send the message either group is going for.

I have a gen 5 with 1TB storage and a larger battery. My only complaint is the connector. I’ll replace it with USB-C eventually.

Your MCD fries are fucking amazing tho. Bad for you but very good.

Or because they got what they wanted a different way.

Only if you’re going over 130.

Trump signaled that he now favors a full peace settlement over a ceasefire, and that he may be open to a recognition of Russia’s new territories, consistent with Moscow’s position.

If we can give away things we don’t own, I might be open to a recognition that all the western states are now apart of Ukraine.
