While it’s easier with LXCs, even with VMs, you have more granular backups for easier recovery.

That’s pretty simple ;) If I had only paperless running, this would be the whole Caddyfile

{
        acme_dns gandi api-key-here
        email letsencryptemail@example.org
}
paperless.cwagner.me {
        reverse_proxy 192.168.1.232:8000
}

I use Gandi for my domain, so I need the Gandi DNS module, which is not there by default, so you need to use one of the ways on that page to get it in.

Yeah, that’s what I do. I use Caddy as a reverse proxy and have it configured for a DNS challenge. My domains for local services point to my internal caddy server IP, e.g. paperless.cwagner.me resolves to 192.168.1.132. Effortless and normal certificates.

I think if “none of my devices” plus “can’t install anything” is in effect, something convoluted like this would be the only option.

I have a server at home, but Lemmy is hosted on a VPS that has a better uptime than my home internet.

Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?

It’s not a guide, but I really like Lemmy Easy Deploy, the author also maintains docker images for ARM servers.

I use my ISP’s modem, and an edgerouter behind it.

The question about firewall is weird. There are one or two more options between ISP router and running your own.

XMPP, it’s what I selfhost, and I’ve been using jabber (mostly via jabber.org) for close to two decades

I’m thinking about switching when my domain expires in 2025, but I can’t say I’ve had any issues since they got bought.

Shame, looks like there are none on amazon.de, only more plastic.

The stock pads always wear out super fast too, so I put glass on one of them and it’s been a game changer.

The other problems you mentioned existed for me as well, but not as bad. Besides those fucking pads. Where/how do you get those glass pads?

Same for me, I never could go back to another mouse ever since I had one of the MX Masters. But until the 3S I was annoyed by the max speed being so slow.

I have a hard time seeing anyone else’s mice even come close, feature wise. Essentially the MX Master 3S is the mouse I always dreamed off, the logitech free/ticking wheel, big size and the change that only came with the S version: High(ish) DPI.

I have the Canon imageFORMULA p-208II. The Scanner software has the UX of a rack (or TX, for tortured experience), but otherwise I’m very happy with it.

iirc you can disable it but then you lose half of what makes it useful,

It depends on your scanner, mine does OCR with good quality, so I simply disabled paperless OCR.

I agree with your comment in general, for a single user server that should just about work okay.

Yeah, that’s really weird. 3 GB for my pictrs volume. 50 MB sounds like it’s not enabled at all, can you upload images to your instance?

I feel like you are saying “there are other issues, we should not care and forget about it”, it seems very defeatist to me.

Desktop users exist, third-party hosts have a history of deciding to forbid hotlinking, third-party hosts have a history of suddenly deleting all (e.g. PhotoBucket) or some (e.g. Imgur) images .

If I didn’t have to worry about other people “uploading” (via caching) CSAM to my server, I’d far prefer if it was me who hosts those images.

That’s exactly what I meant, yeah.

Just being able to paste images in comments (usually screenshots in my case, related to the comment in question) is super convenient. Images are for more than just memes and photos.
