Cloudflare DDos protection isn’t a silver bullet; the attacks are distributed and come from shifting source IPs, and are sophisticated in that they exploit resource intensive queries specifically designed to overload a Lemmy instance. If lemmy.world were to pivot to some other instance, who’s to say the culprits wouldn’t just resume their efforts pointed at the new location? There are theories these may be carried out by the recently-defederated fringe hate communities

I always buy unlocked Android phones and they’ve all had mobile tethering included for no additional charge. Samsungs.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a down-to-earth and insightful comment! I totally agree with each of your points. Same reason I would never shop at Walmart/Sam’s Club, get takeout from Chic fil a, drive a Tesla, sleep on a MyPillow, etc.

I’ve had a couple Samsungs but I think my next phone will be a Pixel for exactly this reason. Installing GrapheneOS is exactly what I need

Yeah my next phone will probably be a pixel specifically so I can load it with GrapheneOS.

What domains did you ad to your pihole Blocklist for the LG tv WebOS services you mentioned?

Ooh sweet thnx 4 the tip - will try this later! I was trying via the web dashboard which I’m pretty sure requires a subscription

Literally same. But I would still play the s*** out of an Oblivion remake.

I’m running netdata on each of my servers and it has every feature I need. If u choose netdata, make sure not to install the nightly builds since they get updated all the time and sometimes break features. One annoying thing with netdata is you have to pay a subscription for the option to disable individual alert types. I have a nearly full hard drive and there’s an alert for that which won’t go away. Same thing for temporary inbound packet drops which seems to happen everytime one particular Plex user forcibly transcodes content (they’re old and remote and won’t change their Plex client settings 😡). Each error they send you an email.

What are you running for your firewall? I’ve been curious about self hosting a Lemmy instance (currently have a few services like Plex, Minecraft, pihole, etc) but do worry about security

This seems like a good idea and I hope Apple eventually follows suit. There are so many apps, especially on iOS, that are just the mobile app blown up on tablets that are basically unusable.

I use PiVPN (wireguard protocol) on the same pi I use for pihole exactly like this. Port isn’t forwarded, but I can split tunnel DNS for adblocking on the go and still ssh to my other server

Do you think this mandate will also impede ip68/etc water resistance certifications?

Rarbg torrents are still out there, try rarbg.best

I’ve been using rarbg . best

Same. It feels like Mastodon isn’t anywhere close to approaching critical mass of users necessary for it to take off.

I made one at the same time I joined Lemmy but Mastodon seems like a ghost town

ReVanced is definitely worth setting up. It only takes a couple of minutes and vastly improves the experience using YouTube. I also homebrewed my LG tv to download a hacked YouTube ad free app for that which includes sponsorblock.
