Phones still have replaceable batteries? I have a Google Pixel 8. How do I even open that thing let alone replace the battery?

Could you type this a bit quieter?

I’d like to third this question.

There are clear signs like massive ping rates, downloads, etc. Anubis helps block a lot of them, btut more turn up all the time.

If you see my old posts, you’ll see that I had this exact concern.

I have since learnt that pulling a DDoS attack is actually quite resource intensive / expensive to the deployer as well, and unless you believe that you are being targeted because of something very valuable you host or that you have a technically inclined enemy who is specifically out to get you, you should be fine. Have a good think about your threat model.

With regard to bots, scrapers and the likes, yes, they are a real pain. That can be tackled with Anubis + BadBotBlocker + Fail2Ban + some custom rate limits.

I assume you are a lot more experienced than me based on the number of things you have listed to have self hosted. I feel a well configured reverse proxy with the tools I suggested will take care of 95% of all your not and scraper related worries.

I’m sorry, could you rephrase that? I think there are a few typos in your post.

Oh I’ve been at this for a while now. I tried that exact page you have suggested along with the information provided here: https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-pi-hole-and-unbound-on-docker/

The docker container is simply not composing and running into other errors that don’t make sense despite reading up about them.

I’m not a computer whiz, so any insight would be super helpful

Seriously, of there is a guide for how a newbie can set this up, please let me know. My little website is being bashed everyday.

Any recourse even if I do find out who it is?

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I now understand how to point the domains / subdomains using “A” record.

Could you please also clarify which IP I need to open ports 80 and 443 to, in the router? Or does the IP in the router actually refer to the internal IP device addresses? (Like 142.168.0.6, etc)?

And to which IP do I open ports 80 and 443.

(You are really underestimating the second S of KISS in my case, sorry!)

Congratulations mate. I wish I had your talent.

I have a (possibly ignorant) question: is there a reason you didn’t choose GPLv3 as the licence of choice for your projects?

I know license is perhaps the last thing in your ming, just curious.

Be prepared for a barrage of “Jellyfin” in your comments.

But yea seriously, use Jellyfin.

Note that the largest Nazi groups today are in the “allied” nations that “won” WW2.

I read a piece (can’t find the source now, sorry) that blamed this squarely on the lack of education and remorse given to the colonial backdrop in which WW2 was fought.

Most parts of the world view WW2 as very much a European war that was imposed on unwilling global participants. The axis powers lost and Germany has since tried its best to reinvent itself while acknowledging its chequered past (check out: Vergangenheitsbewältigung), but the allied powers failed to recognise their colonial atrocities. For example, British history textbooks will loosely allude to the British empire saying that they were once a dominating global entity, but will make absolutely no mention of the numerous massacres and genocides for which they were responsible.

When wars are framed as competitions rather than tragedies, you will see the emergence of false victors instead of acknowledging lost generations. This directly results in a poor public understanding of how bad ideas can fester and hollow out any society.

Thanks. It should be illegal to do a license rugpull , IMHO.
