Alternatively, if your databases are on a filesystem that supports snapshots (LVM, btrfs or ZFS for instance), you can make a snapshot of the filesystem, mount the snapshot and backup thame database from it. This will ensure the backup is consistent with itself (the backed up directory was not written to between the beginning and the end of the backup)

It seems really nice. Too bad it’s not a real product yet (the kick starter hasn’t even launched)

Enabling multi DC redundancy is really easy though. The other providers you mentioned may have it by default, but they’re also a lot more expensive.

I love that they let me pick my own redundancy strategy, without forcing me to pay for theirs

ENS stands for Ethereum Name Service

“ENS domain”

IPFS is also strongly related to several blockchain stuff (not a blockchain itself though)

ENS domains ?

When looking at the CVE itself, it seems like a bug that only gets triggered on a very specific corner case that neither the client or website alone can trigger.

Of course, it’s good that it gets reported and fixed, but I’m pretty sure these kind of bugs can only get caught by people randomly stumbling on them

I’m personally using Docker MailServer. It’s been working great for over a year now, but mailu seems to have some interesting features (I’m especially interested in the admin panel)

You’re probably behind a CGNAT, check out the other comments

Glad I could help :)

Your ISP might make you go through another layer of NAT. Can you find the WAN IP address of your router and compare it to your public IP address from a website such as ipinfo.io ?

If they do not match, you’re probably out of luck and will need to forward your port from an actually public IP in order to achieve what you want

More details : CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation) is basically a second router between your router and the public internet. This second router is configured in the same way as your personal one, the main difference being that your ISP fully manages it. From the viewpoint of this second router, your WAN IP is a private IP, and you share one actual public IP with several other customers (the same way all devices on you LAN share one single WAN IP)

Performing port forwarding from the public internet to your LAN, when behind a CGNAT, would require you to be able to configure a forwarding rule in the ISP’s NAT, which you usually cannot do.

Something’s odd with the numbers from fediverse observer. Numbers shown in monthly graphs should be about 30 times higher than numbers shown in daily graphs, but they are about the same

Recently, 2 different user agents started scraping my Lemmy instance at nearly the same time : AmazonBot and ClaudeBot

I wonder if (and how) it may be related to this headline

A blog post I wrote got shared there a while back, but I did not ask for an invite back then. 2 years later, and I don’t feel legitimate to ask for an invite anymore

Having a certificate for any subdomain has implications for other sibling domains, even without a wildcard certificate.

By default, web browsers are a lot less strict about Same Origin Policy for sibling domains, which enables a lot of web-based attacks (like CSRF and cookie stealing) if your able to hijack any subdomain

I did not have the money to pay the insane amounts these greedy for-profit certificate authorities asked, so I only remember the pain of trying to setup my self-signed root certificate on my several devices/browsers, and then being unable to recover my private key because I went over the top with securing it.

I can recommend some stuff I’ve been using myself :

• Dolibarr as an ERP + CRM : requires some work to configure initially. As most (if not all) features are disabled by default, it requires enabling them based on what you need. It also has a marketplace with a bunch of modules you can buy
• Gitea to manage codebases for customer projects. It can also do CI but I’ve not looked into it yet
• Prometheus and its ecosystem (mostly promtail and grafana) for monitoring and alerting
• docker mail server : makes it quite easy to self host a full mail server. The guides in their doc made it painless for me to configure dmarc/SPF/other stuff that make e-mail notoriously hard to host
• Cal.com as a self hostable alternative to calendly
• Authentik for single sign-on and centralized permission management
• plausible for lightweight analytics
• a mix of wireguard, iptables and nginx to basically achieve the same as cloudflare proxying and tunnels

I design, deploy and maintain such infrastructures for my own customers, so feel free to DM me with more details about your business if you need help with this

It’s not that I don’t believe you, I was genuinely interested in knowing more. I don’t understand what’s so “precious” about a random stranger’s thought on the internet if it’s not backed up with any source.

Moreover, I did try searching around for this and could not find any result that seemed to answer my question.

Can you give examples of countries where mainstream media is not owned by billionaires ?

I’m pretty sure they are actually hosting it. The tech is quite different (cofractal uses urls ending with {z}/{x}/{y}, while their tile sever uses this stuff that works quite differently)
