[🆕 Cosmos 0.12 - HUGE update! All in one secure Reverse-proxy, container manager with app store, integrated VPN, and authentication provider, now has a Full Monitoring suite with alerts and notifications (including presets for anti crypto miner hacks!) 📈📊 ~reddit

Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.

I’ve found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

I ripped out all my portable drives, had to make a cable without the energy management line for inside a PC.

Big ATX case with 8 3.5’ bays, mobo with 6 Sata ports, last two ports will require a SATA-PCIe expansion card.

1x 4TB (shucked)

2x 6TB (shucked)

1x 8TB HDD

1x 16TB Ironwolf Pro

40TB across 5 bays, 1 left without expansion card, 2 more with the card, following that the 4TB will get dropped for a bigger drive.

I’ll likely be buying no less than 12TB per drive going forward, no RAID configuration yet.

Install official version from Microsoft website.

Open PowerShell;

Hetzner VPS

It’s about the server access sellers, but to block a whole major VPS instead of accounts that commit the violation is kinda absurd.

It looks like another step towards further restricting what users can do with their servers, local or virtual.

I’m considering 1.5GB for $16.88 per year, comes with a little less monthly transfer but I don’t think I will need the difference.

What spec does that get you? I’ve tried cheap 512mb 1 vCore before and it wasn’t adequate.

Hetzner is cheaper

It’s great with subdomains, I don’t think it works on root Domains but it’s still extremely easy to set up.

I would recommend forcing HTTPS as well as creating a Page Rule enforcing strict SSL.

I was thinking it’s only a matter of userbase before a piracy Lemmy instance gets a DMCA, their domain registrar and/or host would be the thing that can’t be avoided.

Most likely we will just see mirrored instances like with torrent indexers.

Given the size of Reddit, admins don’t check when mods abuse users, I had my 10 yr account with 150K nearly permabanned because of a mod banning me from my own countries sub for posting a non offensive meme on the wrong day.

I wasn’t logged in on a computer, was using Reddit which showed me my local subs by default and the saved login credentials was a different alt.

I was typing a comment reply, realised I wasn’t logged and signed in with the other alt, didn’t realise it wasn’t another local sub and I got suspended Reddit wide for “ban evasion” and nearly lost a decade old major account because a mod in my countries sub abused their position.

I never retaliated, wasn’t rude, didn’t genuinely try to evade the ban and nearly lost a decade of activity.

There are a lot of benefits to the fediverse and I plan on hosting my own personal instance soon.

Your entire account would have to be admin level wouldn’t it?
