It definitely takes more effort to get started

You need something like stunnel/OpenVPN flag which masks your traffic as HTTPS I think. Even then DPI can probably detect it

Hey, it’s nice to talk to you. I’ve seen you around this community and I like your comments.

I said K8S because I work with it, but if OP doesn’t need HA I guess Podman is fine too. I don’t like Docker anymore after what they pulled a year or so back

Yes but if your instance holds a decent population then it’s a net benefit

Run K8S on a VM on Proxmox for this stuff

Thanks for this, I didn’t know Scaleway had a free service. I’ll definitely take a look

Sorry but I don’t want a MacBook. I’ll run *nix on this laptop for my workloads.

I see. The Framework 13 with Ryzen 9 HX 370 is about $1700 and the Ryzen 7 from the last generation is $900. I think both are priced a bit too expensive for a barebones device, even if they are super repairable. A $100-$200 reduction would be my ideal price for these laptops.

Thanks for the comment.

I’m in the US. I was looking up laptops but I don’t see powerful laptops under $3000. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong websites

I thought Clevo only sold to businesses? I’ve thought about Clevo but dismissed them because I assumed it was not realistic to actually buy a laptop from them, so this is news to me. Where can I get an unbranded Clevo laptop?

Thanks for the comment. I need the most CPU horsepower in a laptop that I can repair and find parts easily for under $1000. My projects need a lot of CPU power but I anticipate I’ll be moving around with it (I don’t care about the weight though, I’ll chuck it in a bag so that’s not an issue. Neither is battery life since I won’t be working on the go, just take the laptop to different locations).

I’m not a bot and TOTL expands to “top of the line”

I came to know about this from another post and so far it seems like an awesome idea

The reason to host your own instances is altruism. You help out the community with decentralisation and also absorb some of the bandwidth and storage costs from other instances. This is necessary for the Fediverse to survive.

In your own comment you mentioned making it harder for the general public. If you think your comments might have had any value for anyone looking for answers, well now they can’t read any of your material, through no fault of their own. All the while Meta, OpenAI and Google strike back-handed deals with Reddit to steal your data.

In the end, you’re hurting the innocent internet user whilst not doing anything against the big giants. Do you truly not see the problem?

Case in point, you assumed anyone’s only possible threat would be Reddit, without considering it could be random jackasses.

I don’t understand. Unless someone posts private information on Reddit, how is Reddit part of their threat model? And posting such information on a capital-hungry platform means they have already given up their privacy to data brokers willingly. Sure maybe the script kiddie won’t be able to scrape your SSN from the internet but is that really the solace you’re looking for?

As to your final line: yes, a lack of content on Reddit will move people to alternate platforms. But there’s still A LOT OF CONTENT that is not present on Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon etc and if everybody starts acting like you then all of that knowledge will be lost. At this point, if your comments held any value for the general public, all you’ve done is deprive the average lurker. Is that what you want?

That makes it harder for people who might have benefitted from your solutions, but doesn’t do anything to prevent Reddit or OpenAI from accessing them. I don’t see a point

Thanks man, that would be much appreciated

Thanks, looking forward to it
