The weirdest part of self-hosting isn't the control, it's the silence.
I logged into my dashboard tonight via the tunnel. No banner ads. No
"suggested content" algorithms designed to doomscroll me. No tracking pixels firing off to a data broker in Utah, lol.
Just my tools, sitting there, waiting.
We really forgot what the internet feels like when it isn't trying to extract value from us every single second. It’s quiet here. I like it.

#digital #minimalism #selfhosted #SmallWeb #AdFree@h333d I’m loving the self hosted journey so far, I don’t have everything set up yet but I’ve kind of been looking at the next service bill as an indicator of what to try to self hosted next, the most recent one was replacing my digital ocean droplet.
Do you use Tailscale?

@fufroom I use a hybrid setup:
**Tailscale** for my **private** mesh. It connects my phone (Pixel 9 Pro, thanks santa ^w^) to my servers so I can access files or SSH in from anywhere without opening ports. It's magic for NAT traversal.
Consider **Wireguard** if you're more technically inclined, but Tailscale is a great starting point and what I personally use right now.
**Cloudflare Tunnels** for **public** services (like my website). It hides my home IP address from the open internet. -

#digital #minimalism #selfhosted #SmallWeb #AdFree@h333d Life is sooooo cool using Free Software, self-hosted tools and NoScript /ublock origin / whatever else blocks the shitty sloppy side of the web.

#digital #minimalism #selfhosted #SmallWeb #AdFree@h333d You get used to it. What's become weird (for me) is using friends devices and getting blasted with all that crap and barely being able to do anything 😖

@jimmyb @h333d I use RSS to track a couple of YouTube channels. I realized yesterday that I had an idiotic habit of opening the video link in the official YouTube app, thus subjecting me to the ad/tracking sludge. It is actually like 2 taps less for me to just play the video in the RSS app, and no ads get inserted. The only reason I can think is that I wanted to be counted when I like or dislike a video. Like that really matters

#digital #minimalism #selfhosted #SmallWeb #AdFree@h333d same here. It's wonderful. My life is back to being mine. I've set a 15 minute timer on Facebook to make sure I only do the essentials there. Moron baiting seems fun at first, but you can't educate them and in reality you just end up being a troll.

@danjones000 @ricmac Generally, no, but when I'm illustrating a behaviour I like to show the link. Feel free not to use the link; just skip the poll altogether.

@cwebber So what you're saying is we need to take some feral American queers to Canada to crossbreed with tame Canadian queers to reintroduce more aggressive queers back to the Canadian wilderness?
