Missed you but are there any other self-hosted or similar communities in the area?

A few articles I’ve seen in my feed show how more successful ones hire essentially VAs to respond to messages and chat for $18+ hour. It’s really quite amazing.

IRC server or ZNC bouncer.

I was looking at that earlier and grabbing an S3 bucket or setting up MinIO does not appeal to me. I think I’m just burned out from IRL work.

Been using Real-Debrid for years now on/off without any issues. There’s plenty of telegram channels that run them as well if you look.

Lazy piracy with YouTube for me, VPN signup and burner account. Am I happy with their business practices? Nope, but they play too much cat-mouse with the blockers that I’d rather they take my ~$1.17/m and left me alone.

Keepa is an amazing tool to have for Amazon since you can see the trends and “deals”.

I use this container, favonia/cloudflare-ddns, for Cloudflare and my domain.

I’ve even ventured back to IRC for some things. This Reddit explosion has opened all sorts of old doors for me, it’s very refreshing.

I’m trying to move off of Things 3, since I tried to consolidate daily/life tasks with a different section for my lab. Yeah, that hasn’t worked out too well so far. My new job uses GitLab exclusively, so I figure that might be a good pain point to learn the ins/outs of, including issue tracking.

Goes against the spirit of self-hosting but for some stuff(Email, DNS, Passwords), I just SaaS it out. As much as I love my lab, nothing self-hosted in my prod environment is critical.

Glad someone mentioned this already. It’s a nice sandbox or test environment but nothing prod will ever run there.

Kind of the way (at least for me), I still have a FB account since there are still old friends or relatives that would be impossible to reach otherwise. So it just sits there, on life-support, unless I need it.

Twitter has been slowly turning that way, and now Reddit will work the same for me, but it’ll take a while.
