  • I hope someone else can pitch in with a more indepth instructions, but two things I wanted to mention:

    First, forget about hosting your own email from home. Seriously. Even those who do it professionally don’t want to deal with that at home. You’ll find people on fediverse who do it but I’m sure plenty will give you this same recommendation/warning. It’s a huge hassle and it’s so easy to get your domain blocked/ending up on a blacklist and way harder to get out of it.

    Second, I can personally recommend https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/ if you are really starting from scratch ( there’s a community here: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev ). This is how I started and set up my own linux server and started self hosting stuff on it. It’s really basic and won’t teach you everything you need but it’s a great start for setting up your own server. You can do everything with a local server at home that you have set up.









  • This is so god damn ridiculous that we have gotten to a point where it’s harder to steal data and info from people with fine digital systems only for governments to tear it all down.

    Let’s go back to only http while we are at it and require single word, all lowercase passwords too. Too complicated? Not allowed, only a-Z characters. Or actually no, let’s store the passwords in clear text so if Mr. Police needs it he can just request and look up my password. Oh and fuck 2FA because that’ll be too inconvenient for whoever needs to access my data.

    /s (for politicians and law enforcement before they take this as a draft)





  • I love privacyguides but still a bit salty about how jonah neglected lemmy.one, just ignored contacting attempts when his instance was hosting fuckedup shit, and then brushed it all off by saying lemmy is lacking in functionality instead of admitting he had been completely neglecting the admin tasks on lemmy.one and that he should have closed that instance long time ago if he didn’t plan to deal with it.

    It’s ok not to want to continue hosting or admitting that life got in the way, but just brushing that off by saying it’s lemmy’s fault is what annoyed me.

    Edit: words.
