• 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: almost 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

• Monitor Connectivity Software ???

  Statuscake.com if you just need a simple up/down monitor. Source: about 2 years ago

• basic external monitoring system

  I've had a great time with statuscake.com for my personal and friends sites. They've even improved custom status pages to include an automatically signed certificate too, so you can make a site like status.yourdomain.com... Test TCP connection, specific HTTP/HTTPS query etc. 5 minute intervals for free, more with paid plans. Source: about 2 years ago

• Expired Certificate

  I use statuscake.com for external stuff and nagios for internal. PRTG is good too. Source: over 2 years ago

• Website uptime reporting

  I use statuscake.com for all my personal / friend sites. There seems to be no limit to number of sites to monitor for basic 5 minute intervals in the free account. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to get notified when home loses power?

  I use noip.com for a free domain name and a free plan on statuscake.com for this setup. Source: almost 3 years ago
