Sorry, I don’t use either of those services. Would you be willing to explain your setup? I use my own CA with HAProxy for TLS termination (with servers side TLS) so I might be able to give some general tips. Maybe.

It definitely takes more effort to get started

Hey, it’s nice to talk to you. I’ve seen you around this community and I like your comments.

I said K8S because I work with it, but if OP doesn’t need HA I guess Podman is fine too. I don’t like Docker anymore after what they pulled a year or so back

Yes but if your instance holds a decent population then it’s a net benefit

Run K8S on a VM on Proxmox for this stuff

Thanks for this, I didn’t know Scaleway had a free service. I’ll definitely take a look

I’m in the US. I was looking up laptops but I don’t see powerful laptops under $3000. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong websites

I thought Clevo only sold to businesses? I’ve thought about Clevo but dismissed them because I assumed it was not realistic to actually buy a laptop from them, so this is news to me. Where can I get an unbranded Clevo laptop?

Thanks for the comment. I need the most CPU horsepower in a laptop that I can repair and find parts easily for under $1000. My projects need a lot of CPU power but I anticipate I’ll be moving around with it (I don’t care about the weight though, I’ll chuck it in a bag so that’s not an issue. Neither is battery life since I won’t be working on the go, just take the laptop to different locations).

I’m not a bot and TOTL expands to “top of the line”

Top of the line

I came to know about this from another post and so far it seems like an awesome idea

The reason to host your own instances is altruism. You help out the community with decentralisation and also absorb some of the bandwidth and storage costs from other instances. This is necessary for the Fediverse to survive.

Thanks man, that would be much appreciated

Thanks, looking forward to it

Thanks. I don’t see the content of the blogs in the feed, just the title - but maybe that’s a problem with my reader (I use Capy on Android). I’ll try a couple of other readers to see if it works

You got an RSS feed for me?

Your blog is awesome. I have always wanted someone to break down RF homelabbing for me and I think as your blog progresses I will find such content.

I’m also looking for blogs/material on OS hardening (Linux/*nix), do you plan to write on that (and any recommendations)?

That means it’s likely a problem with DNS.
