You’re right, that’s an option. I could set this up at my router, this way it would be almost indistinguishable from IPv6 via my ISP.

Its really not that hard. Sadly, my ISP doesn’t offer IPv6 yet, but for my vServer, enabling IPv6 was just a checkbox during creation. Then, you need to make sure that the service (e.g. webserver) also listens on the IPv6 address and maybe tweak the configuration of the webserver to actually serve websites via IPv6. Also, check your firewall settings. Lastly, you need to set the DNS AAAA records and you’re done.

Battery life doubled in some games? Now that is even more impressive than 10-20% performance gain.

I mostly try to read the docs, but sadly good documentation is pretty rare.

I’m currently following this guide to setup caddy reverse proxy with coraza web app firewall.

But be warned, this whole rabbit hole of WAF isn’t trivial, some protections don’t work well with some apps (e.g. portainer triggers some rules about system command execution) and it needs some tuning. I personally set it up to learn more about WAFs because I believe it will help me in my career, but I would not blindly recommend it to everyone.

Approaches like crowdsec and fail2ban seem much more suitable for selfhosters – and keep your server software updated.

Great idea. Would be even better if we turned lemmy into an AI only social network. Thousands of bots will create content, vote and comment. And all this could be done without user interaction.

Finally, even the super niche communities will have hundreds of bot comment per day, and all human lemmy users will leave voluntarily (thus reducing the need for moderation).

I doubt using secret managers is popular among self hosters. These products are targeted at larger deployments, not homelabs.

I’ve installed coraza web app firewall with OWASP ruleset this weekend. I must admit that it wasn’t as easy as I expected it, but it now (mostly) works. I had to give up with nextcloud though.

It also doesn’t even make sense to buy up all the possible domains. It would just be a waste of money, and surely someone could come up with a domain name that you didn’t think of (fediverse-network.com).

You‘re supposed to host this yourself.
