I have nothing to add except that I absolutely LOVE your comics! I haven't seen a single one that didn't brighten my day - keep doing what you're doing! :)
Extremely level headed take - it's hard not to love the guy!
Hey guys,
after reading up on selfhosting for weeks now I finally decided to take the plunge today and tried setting up my own nextcloud & jellyfin instances. For this purpose I am using a mini PC. (similiar to an Intel NUC)
Now I would like to make both services available to the internet so I could show images to friends while I'm at their place / watch movies with them.
The problem is I am currently not very educated on which security measures I would have to take to ensure that my server / mini PC doesn't immediately become an easy target for a hacker, especially considering that I would host private photos on the nextcloud.
After googling around I feel like I find a lot of conflicting information as well as write-ups that I don't fully grasp with my limited knowledge so if you guys have any general advice or even places to learn about all these concepts I would be absolutely delighted!
Thank you guys sooo much in advance for any and all help, the c/selfhosted community has been nothing but a great resource for me so far!!!
I have been using windows exclusively for 20 years now but just made the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS - an arch distro) 1 week ago and I couldn't be happier!
99% of all applications that I use work just as well (including games) and for the very very few that won't work (like Valorant) I am using a dual boot setup. The reason that I made the switch was that I got anxious with W10 EOL approaching since I would rather stop using windows altogether than using W11.
Oh okay, I wasn't sure since you mentioned email forwarding and I saw a couple offerings (like Cloudflare) that only offer email forwarding if I understood correctly.
Thanks again! I'm gonna check them out.
Sorry I should have clarified that I'm not just looking to receive but also send emails from botj of the domains that I use.
Edit: do you mind clarifying why using catchall is a bad idea :)?
Hey guys,
after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun.
Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase.
Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business.
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
I would also love to know the app! I actually did the exact same thing except I used my To-Do list app where Reddit is Fun used to be and it has honestly helped already.
