I 2nd this.

Be aware hosting media thru their proxy is breaking their ToS. Not saying anything will happen, but be mindful.

I run as much as I can baremetal on Debian. If I can’t do baremetal I use podman on Debian.

Oh ok. That’s awesome. I didn’t know it could do UDP/TCP proxying. That’s awesome.

I’m not sure if you can proxy smb as it’s not http/s data. If using NGiNX you could use something like the stream config, but there’s not really an advantage.

Agreed. And I can imagine the turbines needs updates as well.

And with batteries you only have a couple thousand charge cycles. With hydro-electric I feel like it’s limitless.

Yeah unfortunately iOS is very stingy with battery. Thankfully there’s a few apps that use apples push and ejabberd supports it. I haven’t tested them in a while tho since I’m on android.

Mattermost is great and I’m pretty sure they have an iOS app. I don’t believe the messages are encrypted on MM, but if you’re running the infra it’s not too big of a deal IMHO.

I run ejabberd for myself and my family/friend and use conversations on android. Mattermost I would say is the most like discord. I run one of those as well and love it.

Nothing makes me more upset then requiring an application.

I use Debian for my personal servers and the server I run at my LLC. At my day job we use RHEL.

I use NGiNX and have ever since I started. It just works and is easy to configure.
