    Tor relay and bridge operators: v2.2.1 is out 🧅🚀

    :github: github.com/r3bo0tbx1/tor-guard

    Tor Guard Relay now ships Tor 0.4.9.15 and its new directory-request DoS defenses.

    🏗️ Verified upstream source builds
    💻 Stable + edge · AMD64 + ARM64

    No new mandatory torrc lines. Leave the new rate-limit settings unset so network consensus controls them.

    Back up, upgrade and verify the running Tor version.

      That’s moving much slower than I expected: github.com/immich-app/immich/i

      It was initially planned for 3.1 or 3.2. Now we almost have 3.4, 4.0 on the horizon, and no “better sharing” except people sharing, which doesn’t resolve the main Immich issues - inability to see shared assets in your timeline or share assets in any other way except albums =(

      My rant is over. Please proceed to your weekend and have a nice one.

          Question for the tech people on here. I've got a directory `www/` and several different directories for user: `www/alice/`, `www/bob/`, etc. (These are not system users in UNIX. Just users signed up through my web app).

          How might I configure an application like Apache or nginx or something to serve `www/<username>/` as a website when it recieves an HTTP request to `<username>.mydomain.tld`?

          Notably, I'd like to not necessarily have to keep a list of users inside of a config file, nor do I want to have to create system users in UNIX for each user website.

            Linux microblog update:

            Proton's CEO, Andy Yen, is confident that AI vibe code is the best way to protect my privacy.

            I disagree, so now I run my own mail and DNS servers.

            And I'm saving money, no longer paying for Proton's services.

            The last few years have felt like the world is playing "but you won't self-host this" chicken, against me.

            But I really like paying people a fair price for their time and expertise. This is getting silly.

            At this rate I feel as though I may single-handedly bring back the 1990s Internet. I heard there's a new way to run classic Flash games. Maybe I'll look in to that, next.

              One of my professional mentees is switching her domain name registrar, and her DNS record hosting, for her self-hosted sites.

              I believe her primary motive for the switch is that NameCheap stopped living up to the "cheap" part of their name, and... well that seemed to be their big thing.

              She was inclined to go with Cloudflare, but she learned that Cloudflare doesn't allow her to choose her own DNS hosting, but requires their own.

              That is a deal-breaker for her, so she is shopping for a new registrar.

              I would appreciate recommendations for ethically-run domain registrars that are reasonably friendly to newer technoligists, if you all know of any.

              There's a good chance I will move my own domain hosting to whatever she decides on, so I'm asking for myself, as well.

                  Do you run your own PeerTube server? Would you like to feature videos from other PeerTube servers too?

                  You can do this really easily by federating other servers and/or specific accounts from other servers. Their videos will appear on your server without requiring any extra bandwidth or resources.

                  Here's a step-by-step guide to how to do this, including a list of recommended servers to federate, and lots of questions answered:

Don't get me wrong Snac is absolutely FANTASTIC and I'd 100% recommend it to anyone starting out their own fedi instance but Littlefedi is a lot snappier for me in terms of account size and it doesn't use near as much disk access as Snac. I haven't 100% made up my mind yet and something or someone may change it but the Littlefedi option is really looking promising.

                        The downside - power usage can be high and overall speed lower.

                        But it's the capability and independence that matter.
