I’m surprised this wasn’t already the case, how did patreon get an exception in the first place? I don’t know anything about how apple billing with patreon works but the way this sounds is that patreon’s “Legacy Billing” somehow allows creators to get around the 30% fee that is normally standard to anything on apple, and the means to enable/disable this feature is entirely in the hands of individual creators rather than patreon or apple, weird.

Unsupported typically just means they wont provide (technical) support if/when it breaks.

I setup navidrome but never got around to using it much personally. It seems like a good option for a private collection, but im more about sharing mine these days.

I setup jellyfin with feishin and use finamp on mobile for music.

Im also running the latest alpha of funkwhale which i recommend checking out the stable version for a better impression but the alpha is functional if a bit ugly at the moment. My public service for funkwhale has the most users out of anything else i run so people def seem to like it.

I discovered mstream fairly recently and really like its simplicity.

I have MPD setup to stream as a radio on my homepage.

Overall i mainly just use jellyfin out of convenience because i already use it for shows and movies. But ive tried lots of dedicated music options and every subsonic fork still in existence, i keep coming back to jellyfin though.

I think if you already have jellyfin working navidrome isnt really as useful unless you dont like the way jellyfin handles music (wich objectively jellyfin isnt the best interface for music). Its not really that much extra overhead though tbh so you shouldnt hesitate to give it a try if you want to. Really anything thats just focused on audio streaming isnt going to add much overhead.

In that case you would need to add the peers to the wireguard node you have running in the home lab as well. Wireguard can route peer to peer and will take the shortest path available to it.

That said, i highly recommend first getting things working in a “spoke and hub” style wireguard configuration with either your homelab or the vps as a central peer, then add peers as endpoints after you have everyone with working connections to the central peer. Its just a heck of a lot easier to trouble shoot and get your head around thatway.

A central wireguard peer on your vps, connect home to vps and direct the wireguard. Add friends as peers on the VPS like such:

[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = 

# Home
[Peer]
PublicKey = 
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32

# Friend
[Peer]
PublicKey = 
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.3/32

Use iptables to Split tunnel traffic

For the home network ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1. 0.2 dev wg0

And for the vpn To route google a .d such

Enable NAT for clients

iptables -t natw POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

You can set the iptables rules to run wjen it comes up

Forgive my formatting. Mobile clients being janky

Its not staging a coup, they could implement fair districting or ranked choice voting years ago but it would lead to people being able to support and run on policies that are more socialist then the democrats are allowed by their capitalist owners. See whats happening in NYC now due to ranked choice, that could be across the US but both parties are strongly against it.

Both parties have this issue, its just that for the republicans they decided to embrace the far right instead.

It sounds like you’ve got the right plan. I use Anubis and fail2ban along with some manual rules on nginx to block AI bots. In my experience Anubis helps a lot, and you can monitor nginx logs over time to for scans and such to make additional ban rules on.

So yet more actions they could have taken before trump won but chose not to because …

Can your watch play mp3s? Most podcasts are available for download that way too.

I’m pretty happy with Debian as my server’s OS. I recently gave in to temptation and switched from stable to testing, on my home systems I run Arch because i like to have the most up to date stuff, but with my servers that’s a bit less important, even so debian testing is usually pretty stable itself anyway so I’m not worried much about things breaking because of it.

Do you mean self-host on your own hardware and infrastructure? At home?

Ideally yes, or alternatively if you do need to depend on other people’s infrastructure, choose companies that aren’t massive multi-billion dollar operations that have zero concerns about you or keeping your business.

Hosting A basic website (with javascript) is a great place to start.

I mainly use docker for everything and you can get a simple http server docker point it at a folder containing your html files and now you have your own selfhosted website.

Use something like duckdns.org for a domain and dyndns to update the ip address to point to your home ip and have your router forward the http port, now your website can be accessed from outside the home network too.

Once you get a basic website working, its easy to keep going and try adding new services. I use dockge to manage all my docker services now but when i first got started i found dockstarter to be very easy to use, kind of like training wheels for docker until you feel comfortable enough to edit compose files directly.

I currently pay $8/month for a basic VPS which i use because i have a lot of public services but if you are just managing your own stuff or another user or 2 you dont even need that really.

For document storage id go with Nextcloud. If you want to also have dedicated music streaming i really like mStream for its simplicty but theres also a number of other services that support the subsonic protocol which has a lot of good clients to choose from for playback.

Id be happy to, what kind of services are you wanting to run and whats your home internet setup?

I can message here on lemmy but it might be easier if you want to contact me directly through chat, my contact info can be found here: https://gravitywell.xyz/#contact

Yeah thats what happens when you host your shit on some corporate “cloud”, but will they learn from this and move to self hosting, or will they just find some smaller provider who can do the same rug pull again.

So whats the objective here, to make it harder for lazy people to get jobs? Like Whats the end game with that?

Ive used offtiktok which is self hostable

There is also proxitok

Or you could probably work out something with yt-dlp or one of the front ends for it.

“we have briar at home”

No thanks.

Do you just want something like https://peer.tube/

Yoy can find the whole list of public instances here:

https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances

Im only aware of the main one, is there alternatives? Do you mean like themes?
