I use Dockge to manage everything.

I just switch between google accounts when my free session runs out of tokens for the moth. Never giving cursor or any of those “Ai” companies a dime but I take full advantage of their free tiers.

Funkwhale is the best option for replacing Spotify. It can be private or public and federated so you can follow users who want to share their playlists and such.

Navidrome is another good option although i don’t use it personally I hear nothing but good things.

Avoid subsonic directly but youll find funkwhale and other services support it as a protocol very well. Its just the subsonic server software itself and all of the forks seem to basically just be reinventing the same wheel over and over so they can charge for “premium” features.

Oh interesting! Thank you.

Thanks but i meant the site in the original post https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/debian-netinstall-waf.html

It says

403 Error

Your IP address has been blocked. This MAY be because you have made yourself look like a robot by using an unknown VPN or Tor exit node.

I just wish i could read it, it seems to block based on my IP which isn’t really a good way to identify bots.

Well it cant be that good becauase it thinks im a bot.

Anubis works pretty well for me so far in blocking clankers.

Last time i checked “states rights” didn’t mean the right to impose your laws on people or businesses running out of other states.

If anyone from Mississippi wants to use our services I’m totally ready to ignore any and all laws that don’t acknowledge to sovereignty of the net.

Id love to be wrong, but much like how meta patched threads into AP, i see this primarily as a performative gesture to allow them to take credit for “federating” when they have no intention of allowing it to get out of their control.

Thats certainly a choice, people are very good at justifing thier support of corporations if it means even the slightest bit of convenience.

I dont think there is much hope for the majoriy of internet users at this point, its just too easy for corps and oligarchs to control the narrative.

Sure, and the 14b he gave was with no strings attached.

Its not like Jay Garber is any better

So how many people are doing that? I doubt more then 5% of their users are actually using a pds or ever will.

How many times do we have to watch venture capitalists enshittify services before people learn. Do you really think bluesky doesnt have plans to extract every drop of ad revenue and data harvesting at some point, decentralization doesnt work with that business model, sure its fine now in the honeymoon phase but wait till Jack decides ita time to cash out.

Must be nice to start a centrally controlled social network call it decentralized and then just let other people not on the company payroll do all the work for you.

Fuckin corpos

Great idea, i really hope we see more of that type of local/selfhosting for average folks, its really the only way to save the internet from just being another corporate censorship heavy advertising platform.

I setup navidrome but never got around to using it much personally. It seems like a good option for a private collection, but im more about sharing mine these days.

I setup jellyfin with feishin and use finamp on mobile for music.

Im also running the latest alpha of funkwhale which i recommend checking out the stable version for a better impression but the alpha is functional if a bit ugly at the moment. My public service for funkwhale has the most users out of anything else i run so people def seem to like it.

I discovered mstream fairly recently and really like its simplicity.

I have MPD setup to stream as a radio on my homepage.

Overall i mainly just use jellyfin out of convenience because i already use it for shows and movies. But ive tried lots of dedicated music options and every subsonic fork still in existence, i keep coming back to jellyfin though.

I think if you already have jellyfin working navidrome isnt really as useful unless you dont like the way jellyfin handles music (wich objectively jellyfin isnt the best interface for music). Its not really that much extra overhead though tbh so you shouldnt hesitate to give it a try if you want to. Really anything thats just focused on audio streaming isnt going to add much overhead.

In that case you would need to add the peers to the wireguard node you have running in the home lab as well. Wireguard can route peer to peer and will take the shortest path available to it.

That said, i highly recommend first getting things working in a “spoke and hub” style wireguard configuration with either your homelab or the vps as a central peer, then add peers as endpoints after you have everyone with working connections to the central peer. Its just a heck of a lot easier to trouble shoot and get your head around thatway.

A central wireguard peer on your vps, connect home to vps and direct the wireguard. Add friends as peers on the VPS like such:

[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = <VPS_PRIVKEY>

# Home
[Peer]
PublicKey = <HOME_PUBKEY>
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32

# Friend
[Peer]
PublicKey = <CLIENT_PUBKEY>
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.3/32

Use iptables to Split tunnel traffic

For the home network ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1. 0.2 dev wg0

And for the vpn To route google a .d such

Enable NAT for clients

iptables -t natw POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

You can set the iptables rules to run wjen it comes up

Forgive my formatting. Mobile clients being janky

It sounds like you’ve got the right plan. I use Anubis and fail2ban along with some manual rules on nginx to block AI bots. In my experience Anubis helps a lot, and you can monitor nginx logs over time to for scans and such to make additional ban rules on.

I did a few times just to test it out on peertube, i wrote a script to broadcast all videos in a given folder in random order. I would like to eventually have something going 24/7 but i havent gotten to setting that up yet
