The alternative is raw-dogging the internet like in the good ole days.

Honestly i really wish i could host things without relying on another party but how viable is that really?

I would host a lemmy instance like that if it where possible but one, i would be exposing my public ip if i did, and two, i don't think i can get a certificate for https like that.

Let's encrypt?

All you need to get an SSL cert for HTTPS is a domain name you demonstrably own and a credit card. There's literally no other requirement.

I have a domain name, but to attach it to my remote ip i needed cloudflare.

If you're feeling brave you could always put something like fail2ban or crowdsec in front of your self hosted stuff.

Close all ports except 80 and 443 on your firewall.

Plenty of cheap vps providers with ddos protection though, just route trough one of those. As for a cdn, That's available from a bunch of providers in the eu

Thanks for the tip. I’ve seen this one, but unfortunately they don’t have a tv App. I mostly watch on my tv/Apple tv(I know).

I can only get dailymotion. Which was last updated 2017. lol
