Yay - able to visit a website without someone "verifying" the "status" of my computer!

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

I think the problem is the good ole days didn't have LLM bots ready to spread propaganda at every turn :/

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.

You need CloudFlare? Any DNS provider can create an A record for a domain and IP then boom: accessible from any browser as soon as DNS propagates, (usually less than an hour but possibly up to 24hrs). CloudFlare is just a middle man really that offers some security and performance benefits.

Edit: spelling

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.

Thanks, that solved my Spam issue.

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

Just found a potentially viable business plan, then.

Yeah, there is Myra but they are 10k+ a month.
