Any thoughts on this OP or is this more “let me just link this everywhere and not actually give any discussion about it myself” links are so prevalent on lemmy lately.

Thank you, I am quickly getting quite sick of people just link bombing communities without adding anything to say what the links actually are or do. There should be rules around it. I already block bots (which doesn’t seem to work) I guess it’s time to start blocking other accounts that do this.
That’s why it’s stated in the Lemmy docs to use an image host instead of uploading directly. Unfortunately, most users don’t do that.
Rest assured, nothing will change for you
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve read that, only to have everything change 6-12 months later, I’d be rich.
Don’t have any real evidence to substantiate this,
Then why post it and spread FUD?
Seriously shit like this is ridiculous and should get you banned. I can make shit up with no evidence as well, but it does no one any good.
I have a couple, including the one running my lemmy instance I’m posting this from. They’ve all been pretty good for me. I don’t push any of them hard or anything, but I’ve not had any problems.
Admins, make sure you update to 18.2, this has already been patched:

That’s a low poly pup right there.
I don’t think lying to your SO and friends are a good way to accomplish anything.
My lemmy instance is hosted on a 1GB vps with no problem. Even with a few other services on the same VPS.
I don’t. There is a community I subbed to that has absolutely nothing to do with American politics. The mod of that community keeps posting bs about American politics to that community under the guise of “they used a computer to post whatever so it belongs in this community about technology”.
This is on one of the bigger sites and bigger instances. I ended up blocking that community from my personal instance because it was being inundated with a bunch of crap having nothing to do with technology, but certainly had an agenda.
If that was the only community that (supposedly) was about technology, I’d have to find a bunch of other, niche communities to cover what that one does (or should).
I’ve run Searxng for a while is there any reason to switch?
No, but some people are stuck behind CG-NAT and can’t port forward to the outside world for wireguard. Things like Cloudflared, Tailscale and ZeroTier get past that.
It’s of course possible to use wireguard to a VPS and tunnel into that, but that’s a bit more technical to set up.
Even more so since profiles are generally less anonymous than reddit.
How so?
My profile tells you I use an instance (in this case my own, dusty-radio) and my username on that instance (in this case Dusty). All this tells you is the name I’ve chosen and that I host this myself. It’s no different than if I was Dusty on reddit, other than the instance URL.
I don’t really see it as an issue. Post it to whichever community you are most active on. If people want to part of that particular instance, they will see it and interact with it.
Just like I’m interacting with this post right now even though I’m not on lemmy.world. I’m quite over what became the gamification of karma on reddit, and really hope it doesn’t become a thing here. There’s no reason about having to worry about which instance to post something to, people will find it and interact with it.
If it works for you and allows you to start learning, there’s no problem with it. Too many people seem to think that if you haven’t compiled whatever yourself, it’s not true “self hosting” but you should do what works best for you to get to the goal you want.
Thank you very much! I’ll get this set up on mine.
People want it for torrenting or hosting things to the outside world. /c/Piracy has been flipping out because Mullvad removed port forwarding, which now apparently makes them one of the worst VPNs ever.
Mullvad (and I’m sure others) removed it because individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services. They simply do not want the kinds of things that users were hosting, passed through their servers as it has led to police visits, blacklisting and providers cancelling them.
Thank you for this, looks good!
The day they announced their rebrand was the last day I bought anything from them. I refuse to give them any more money on principle. If they can shell out nearly a half billion on a rebrand, they can drop some of their prices.
