Missed you but are there any other self-hosted or similar communities in the area?

A few articles I’ve seen in my feed show how more successful ones hire essentially VAs to respond to messages and chat for $18+ hour. It’s really quite amazing.

IRC server or ZNC bouncer.

I only have a ZNC bouncer and a copy of the lounge running on a VPS nowadays. Mainly kept around for some ebooks, and IRC only stuff like trackers. If I tried to actually pirate, I’d blow through the VPS’s monthly bandwidth cap.

Currently in the middle of a cutover between Flickr/Dropbox/iCloud mess to Photoprism. Immich, I’ll keep in a test instance with a decent chunk of duplicate files but I’m not too keen on how it, along with others, disregards your file structure.

I was looking at that earlier and grabbing an S3 bucket or setting up MinIO does not appeal to me. I think I’m just burned out from IRL work.

Been using Real-Debrid for years now on/off without any issues. There’s plenty of telegram channels that run them as well if you look.

Lazy piracy with YouTube for me, VPN signup and burner account. Am I happy with their business practices? Nope, but they play too much cat-mouse with the blockers that I’d rather they take my ~$1.17/m and left me alone.

I use this container, favonia/cloudflare-ddns, for Cloudflare and my domain.

I’m trying to move off of Things 3, since I tried to consolidate daily/life tasks with a different section for my lab. Yeah, that hasn’t worked out too well so far. My new job uses GitLab exclusively, so I figure that might be a good pain point to learn the ins/outs of, including issue tracking.

Goes against the spirit of self-hosting but for some stuff(Email, DNS, Passwords), I just SaaS it out. As much as I love my lab, nothing self-hosted in my prod environment is critical.

Glad someone mentioned this already. It’s a nice sandbox or test environment but nothing prod will ever run there.
