  • Thank you, I am allergic to tailscale (joking).

    I already selfhost lots of stuff for family and friends using reverse proxy+https a public domain(s) and a VPS tunneled back (wireguard) home since I am behind CGNAT. And authelia on top of it all.

    My setup should be safe enough also for a Lemmy instance.









  • Sorry third post. Trying to summarize.

    1. Get external access. Either via port-forward (you lucky American) or via VPS+ssh-tunnel or VPS+wireguard. Stay away from an hard dependency like tailscale and cloudflare (my personal opinion).

    2. Setup a reverse proxy with SSL certs via let’s Encrypt (don’t go wildcard, no need to, just add complexity)

    That’s the concept, implementation requires clearly extra steps…

    See my wiki (https://wiki.gardiol.org/). O describe both the simple and the complex solution. But to be honest, the complex solution is not fully described yet.







  • There is no “write and forget” solution. There never has been.

    Do you think we have ORIGINALS or Greek or roman written texts? No, we have only those that have been copied over and over in the course of the centuries. Historians knows too well. And 90% of anything ever written by humans in all history has been lost, all that was written on more durable media than ours.

    The future will hold only those memories of us that our descendants will take the time to copy over and over. Nothing that we will do today to preserve our media will last 1000 years in any case.

    (Will we as a specie survive 1000 more years?)

    Still, it our duty to preserve for the future as much as we can. If today’s historians are any guide, the most important bits will be those less valuable today: the ones nobody will care to actually preserve.

    Citing Alessandro Barbero, a top notch Italian current historian, he would kill no know what a common passant had for breakfast in the tenth century. We know nothing about that, while we know a tiny little more about kings.
