Yay - able to visit a website without someone “verifying” the “status” of my computer!
The alternative is raw-dogging the internet like in the good ole days.
I think the problem is the good ole days didn’t have LLM bots ready to spread propaganda at every turn :/
Honestly i really wish i could host things without relying on another party but how viable is that really?
I would host a lemmy instance like that if it where possible but one, i would be exposing my public ip if i did, and two, i don’t think i can get a certificate for https like that.
Let’s encrypt?
if you use Caddy they even take care of that part for you
I know I’m just dumb but for some reason Caddy is just so much easier to set up than nginx or fiddling with .htaccess files; I’d always fuck something up
All you need to get an SSL cert for HTTPS is a domain name you demonstrably own and a credit card. There’s literally no other requirement.
I have a domain name, but to attach it to my remote ip i needed cloudflare.
You need CloudFlare? Any DNS provider can create an A record for a domain and IP then boom: accessible from any browser as soon as DNS propagates, (usually less than an hour but possibly up to 24hrs). CloudFlare is just a middle man really that offers some security and performance benefits.
Edit: spelling
If you’re feeling brave you could always put something like fail2ban or crowdsec in front of your self hosted stuff.
Not free but there’s https://bunny.net/cdn

Plenty of cheap vps providers with ddos protection though, just route trough one of those. As for a cdn, That’s available from a bunch of providers in the eu
Also no alternative for YouTube. Guess no more YouTube for me.
the humble french made peertube:
Thanks for the tip. I’ve seen this one, but unfortunately they don’t have a tv App. I mostly watch on my tv/Apple tv(I know).
I can only get dailymotion. Which was last updated 2017. lol
Just found a potentially viable business plan, then.
Yeah, there is Myra but they are 10k+ a month.
