• Dual system case, cooling 4-port 10G ethernet

  I'm trying to plan a server build & want two systems, preferably in one box, a firewall & a server with enough oomph for freedombox, a personal git repository, mastodon, & a few other things. Https://freedombox.org/ Https://joinmastodon.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Railroad: Single-user, selfhosted blog for I2P for Linux and Windows

  Is it possible to use this with Freedombox? I use a Raspberry Pi as my i2p router, the Pi Runs Freedombox but it doesn't have a GUI installed, I just connect to it from other devices. How would I use the editor for example? Source: over 1 year ago

• What are some common things that are overlooked when it comes to privacy?

  Instead of commercial cloud-services, try something like Tailscale or ZeroTier for VPN across your devices, and run a https://freedombox.org/ on that network. The lesser but still decent option is to use client-side encrypted services like Proton Calendar and SpiderOak cloud backups. Source: over 1 year ago

• My Health Record: after 12 years and more than $2bn, hardly anyone is using digital service

  Yeah, if I still lived in Oz I’d be running a [freedom box)(https://freedombox.org/). It galls me that we have to treat the government as an Orwellian malevolent stalker. Source: about 2 years ago

• Do you think large companies like google, Facebook, or Twitter should be allowed to “police” content posted to them? Why?

  I would like to see a federated system, such as ActivityPub where everyone hosted their own instances on their FreedomBoxes. Moderation would be something you opt into, where competing services would scrape the web and do their own categorizations, and you can choose what you want to see and what you don't. Even without the moderation system, ActivityPub allows you to choose which servers your instance... Source: about 2 years ago

• Cheap domain?

  Either way you'll end up using a host like a2hosting.com (search for "a2hosting comparison" to find other hosts) which let you put up your own web pages because listing domains only on Afternic, Sedo, GoDaddy, etc., still doesn't give you much more visibility than posting them as For Sale on which ever domain name service/registrar you choose, which in itself gives you little visibility except to sharks who cruise...

• Need to move site from bluehost to a quicker wordpress hosting platform with an easy to use UI - what should I pick?

  The sidebar has plenty of hosts for you to choose from. Additionally, I personally use A2 hosting (https://a2hosting.com) for my hosting needs. They've been a pleasure to work with over the last few years. Source: about 2 years ago

• Every web hosting I try is either jank or too advanced.

  a2hosting is fast, but pretty expensive. Source: almost 3 years ago
