I’d say to start with CF tunnels unless you need non-web based applications. Cloudflare tunnels require you to have a domain, though.

It has the added benefit that you have network monitoring, logging and some filtering for security that they do on top and you get to manage everything from their web interface.

be warned that the first time can be a bit confusing, but since it’s done using their web interface it’s easier than if you have a problem making wireguard work.

1. Create a tunnel with a public hostname that will be the url to access that service. During the creation of the hostname specify you want it protected by L7 application firewall.
2. Create a new self-hosted application in cloudflare application section and for starters use the default login email and in rules specify the list of emails that are allowed to login

you should now be able to access your application from anywhere.

Alternatively, if you have a DNS server in your home network you can add a private IP range to your tunnel. Let’s say 192.168.0.0/24. Then when you connect with their pseudo-VPN (cloudflare warp or cloudflare ONE) you can directly use your home network’s ip address from that device. If you tell your device to use a local DNS server that resolves your internal services, you’ll be able to connect to them that way.

Install proxmox on a computer with plenty of RAM and CPU and you’ll be able to create VMs which you can give out or rent out to anyone.

In regards to access, ipv4 is not a good idea. Especially not residential IP addresses., You should get ipv6 addresses maybe from a tunnelbroker. But anyways, first you need the server with the hypervisor (which is what you’re looking for) and then you can slowly run tests, learn and eventually figure out networking.

Btw, it might be cheaper to simply rent a server, which would solve the issue of ip addresses. OVH has cheap servers and a proxmox install wizard.

Just please don’t use it for anything sensitive until you can find someone to give a quick check up in regards to security to make sure you haven’t missed anything. Unlike a regular PC, this one is expected to receive inbound connections which has its risks.

But don’t worry about that too much now. Find an old computer or rent a server, install proxmox and start testing, playing around and learning.

Edit: chatgpt is good when wanting to learn this stuff. Especially gpt-4, but even gpt-3.5 will do. Just don’t trust it blindly as it still messes up about 20% of the time. But it’s often better than googling for tutorials since you can’t often find what you’re looking for.

Edit2: the setup I propose will allow you to divide a regular computer into 100s of virtual ones limited only by the total RAM, disk and CPU. If you only want a web server on dedicated hardware get a raspberry pi, because my proposal would be overkill. But it’s the closest to “being your own cloud provider”.

Am curious. Are you able to run a modern windows 10 virtual machine / virtualbox vm on XP?

A good decision.

Check out the Onyx Boox which might cost a bit more but run a version of Android.

Last I heard they were already suspended. Doesn’t fit into Meta’s corporate Disney world.

Try celeste and super meat boy if you want a skillful platformer with low penalty.

Yes it works!

No, I haven’t. I’ll check it out!

Text gets mirrored but not images. In general it helps, but not by much unless you host for several hundred users.

You don’t need MX records for outgoing mail. Mailjet works well for me and gives you 200 free daily mails.

I use external smtp and have had no problems over several versions.

OP, please share your config.hjson (redacting all sensitive info)

Good idea!

Hello again! I just completed object storage migration. Here’s what I learned if you want to do it with an instance that’s already setup:

1. Download the binary file for pict-rs from the project’s git repository.
2. Stop the pict-rs container.
3. Perform the migration as indicated in the pict-rs documentation. If it hangs at some point due to a missing file, re-run with --skip-missing-files.
4. Verify that files have been migrated to object storage.
5. Change docker-compose settings.
6. And here the most important part… changes won’t be applied unless you run docker-compose up -d. Simply running docker-compose restart will NOT apply the new config. This might be obvious for docker users but I didn’t know about it and had to rollback the first time because it wouldn’t fetch images from object storage while they had already been migrated there.

It’s like BitTorrent. There’s seeders and then there’s leechers who just want their free stuff and stop sharing immediately afterwards.

Some have more principle than others.

Proxmox has been great for me.

Even if you trust them, the VPN provider is the single most important provider you don’t want to know details about you. That is because they are the ones who will also know about your real IP address.

I don’t understand the downvotes. Crypto is ideal way of paying if you want to stay anonymous. Even Mullvad says that if you pay with Paypal that there’s some data they are required to keep on file.

This.

Hello! Could I please ask you to confirm which of the two migration commands you used for your instance? The one with the path to the sled repo or the one without?

Thank you!

I think it’s early to say it will fail. There’s a chance that security forces, conscripts and even professional soldiers are fed up with the way the Ukraine war has been going and they’ll side with Wagner or not oppose resistance.

You can request them yourself in the requests community.

It’s read only. So no comments. But it works really well for stuff like news, images, etc… where the discussion is not the important part.

What is MQA?

That should be fun. Maybe pvp could consist of gathering hundreds of mobs and dropping them on the other player

Actually I’ve had really good success in paying for privacy services with it. I wouldn’t do it any other way, especially for things like a VPN where you don’t want the provider to have to keep your name and address due to legal requirements.

Another great use case is sending money abroad, especially to countries where there’s other sorts of financial restrictions.

Meanwhile tidal already has better quality at the same price.

Yes, that’s why I said it’s a tragedy regardless. The best outcome is a swift rescue and jail for the CEO.

Silver lining is that the CEO reaped what he sowed since he was on board as well. Still tragic though.

Servers, VPN, domain names and recurring donations. Mostly donations every week. Servers and VPN on a monthly basis.

Nope. I use it on a weekly basis to pay for stuff on the internet. It’s got its uses and the concept is sound. What you’re talking about is the hype train that happens ever so often.

Please no. I don’t like big ISPs, but neither do I want big tech to feel entitled to control the network infrastructure somehow more than they already do.

Twitter, Reddit, twitch… We’re really being screwed over by the corporate internet, aren’t we?

Not sure if it’s still recommended, but I’ve been using Cloudstream on Android, which gives you access to dozens of streaming sites seamlessly.

I read that cloudflare now allows you to proxy email as well.

As a non US person, it’s baffling to me that there’s this whole background of being “the land of the free”, but half the country would want to turn it into Saudi Arabia 2.0, Christian Boogaloo.

That said, anyone of you over there who are opposing these changes, keep up the fight. When one country gets more conservative others will follow. There’s no country in earth immune to this.

Thank you for this <3

This sounds like James Cameron filming titanic because he wanted to visit it in that mini submarine.

https://njal.la for privacy, paying with crypto and no bs. Although a bit more expensive.

I might be wrong, It’s not like measuring blood science is rocket science. You can have an analog bracelet and pump, or for cheap buy an electronic one that you can operate with a single button.

I’m sure this will have its uses for people who are on the go a lot, but measuring at home has always been an option. If anything the advantage here is to measure on the go.
