part of the reason why social media is so incredibly toxic
Hard disagree. Commercial social media is incredibly toxic because of individuals like Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. They increase their profits to the determent of society. They create the echo chambers that cause that behavior.
I suppose a nuclear ICBM could be considered a long range EMP burst emitter. And a nuclear ICBM would be effective at disabling a robot cops but it's probably overkill.
Just remember that abducted robot cops can sometimes remember their past even if you erase their memories. But good luck on your new project
I often relieve my on fires I've started
I don’t have a static IP at home
Host on your home server with a Cloudflare tunnel. Cloudflare has a free tier that would suit your needs. It doesn't rely on static IP addresses, deals with all of the ssh certs, and won't expose your home IP address from incoming requests.
I don’t want to expose it to the internet
The backend workers make requests to other servers which would expose the IP address of those requests. You could use a VPN for the backend workers to protect those requests. But it's this really a concern? What risk vector are you protecting yourself from? Don't rely on security by obscurity. And even if a bad actor did get your IP address, you could just reboot your home router and get a new one.
I think you're over engineering a solution for unlikely risk vectors.
And why would I even need Tailscale?
If you were using a hybrid approach you would need a solid networking solution between your VPS and home server. Tailscale makes that easy. The shared resources like reddis, postgres, S3 hosting, etc can all be on servers running Tailscale and will appear as local servers. You can solve this with your own VPN but Tailscale is solid and deals with non static IP addresses.
Tl;Dr, host at home, use Cloudflare, and don't worry about using a VPS (unless you need a high level of up time and have flaky Internet or power at home).
There are tutorials for setting up Mastodon, docker, and Tailscale. Do you have any specific questions?
I have a hybrid hosting approach. I'm running the web workers, reddis, and postgres on a vps and then running the background workers on a server in my basement. I use Tailscale to connect them
This is clearly AI. That baby goat is obviously a terminator sent from the future to assist particular humans in destroying humanity.
The sub's implosion was probably Clippy's fault
It's been coming and going for me. YouTube makes a change, ublock counters, YouTube make another change, ublock counters again. Just make sure your extensions and browser is up to date and it will likely start working again.
you could safely jump in the water and swim with them!
But I can't swim
