I am relatively sophisticated on LAN/local services (been running Raspberry Pi since 2018 or so), I was never able to setup a reverse proxy to get a true self-hosted system (i.e. remote access); got roadblocked by nginx and setting up letsencrypt with reverse proxy support.

In general, true remote access is IMO exponentially more difficult and demanding than getting things running on your local network.

For anyone starting out with self-hosting, I would strongly recommend LAN/local services where you can relatively easily deploy multiple very useful and powerful services (SMB/NAS, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, Qbittorrent-Nox).

I would suggest looking into DietPi, it’s IMO the best RaspberryPi/SBC distribution there is if you want things to just work and not bug you. Very helpful developers and community too. Excellent, user friendly CLI management tools for headless operation.

Don’t know which country you live in but $160 for a 14 TB HDD is a good price. It’s been a while since I lived in North America, but from memory this is a good price for US/Canada.

One general tip for saving space is to get x265/HEVC content, as it tends to be most space efficient on both an absolute and a “quality per GB basis” (some caveats of course, but I digress). That being said you may want to make sure all your clients support x265 (I prefer to simply never have to transcode and have all clients support Xvid/x264/x265 and all major audio formats).

Was this posted in self-hosted because the term is vaguely associated with the concept of getting pregnant?

Is it really something to be worried about?

Scifi aside, inter-stellar space travel seems to be basically almost non-viable.

This does seem to be a more R&D or “proof of concept” type project.

How is it possible to brute force attack a MS 365 service?

Wouldn’t the service automatically lockout after a few incorrect attempts?

Read this article earlier, it wasn’t very clear to me what the focus was of this illicit gen AI content.

Very sneaky approach I have to say.

Isn’t the daringfireball blog a de facto front for Apple PR?

!hardware@lemmy.world (self-promotion, I am a mod there) covers semiconductor related topics pretty well.

That being said, some articles do include business and tech news.

Raspberry Pi is IMO an excellent tool for learning Linux (particularly CLI, you honestly don’t need a UI for the computer itself) in a low risk environment while also allowing you to build some really useful services (NAS, Pi-Hole, media-server).

Headline should have included that this for the iSeq 100.

I am surprised that such devices are not air-gapped.

Big Macs, M4 Macbooks and AI Slop about the danger of woke to human civilization.

Fair point.

I generally avoid YT on any serious topics unless the video medium is used in a way that contributes to the discussion (e.g. a debate, interview, guest hosts, use of slides/charts/videos).

Is this spam for a clickbait YT channel or is this for real?

Unless this was generated via LLM, seems like a lot of effort for clickbait spam.

One thing that I do like about Lemmy is even the Apple community is somewhat critical. While this particular case seems to be more of an exception, you’ll get massively downvotes if you critique the standard PR narrative that “Apple cares about digital privacy” or point out how Apple removed content critical of China and AI tech from their streaming service.

Nice one! It’s honestly too bad they didn’t actually call it Putastation or Putabox! Putabox would have been even better IMO. That would have been so hilarious!

First time I heard about Hola. Read an article about them. They claimed that:

Hola CEO, Avi Cohen, said: “Hola offers a valuable free service to its users, and our community agrees, consistently rating it higher than any other VPN service. The health of the Internet and the safety of its users are top priorities for Hola.”

Avi Cohen is liar and scoundrel.

But Tor is explicitly designed for this sort of thing and does not have a paid access system.

Nowhere on Big Mama VPN’s landing page does it say that by using their service you open your network to access by randoms.

Big Mama is made up of two parts: There’s the free VPN app, which is available on the Google Play store for Android devices and has been downloaded more than 1 million times. Then there’s the Big Mama Proxy Network, which allows people (among other options) to buy shared access to “real” 4G and home Wi-Fi IP addresses for as little as 40 cents for 24 hours.

I am surprised this is legal. I have zero knowledge of the nuances of law, but there is no situation where allowing a completely random 3rd party to use your IP/network on an on-demand basis is legitimate. This is not a “grey area” (in the real sense, not in the judicial sense).

Haha. I believe the AMD Instinct / Nvidia Datacentre GPUs aren’t that great for gaming.
