My mistake, thanks for correcting me.

They dropped shadowsocks support and now mostly standard protocols like the rest. Plus logging activity like supervpn. Bro advice: Skip it.

Thanks for sharing!

From an initial look it seems like a reseller, I guess it will require identification + has some restrictions. I run some trading bots so that’s out for sure.

I meant AlexHost, if you find something with similar specs and pricing I would love to jump to it. AlexHost treats customer like garbage. Plus, only use shared instances, dedicated instances are terrible (terrible internet speed and host performance) check TrustPilot.

Regarding residential proxy, it will be okay, 1usd per GB in packetstream.

For VPS, I use AlexHost as they dont require id, plus crypto payments (I wish I could use something else, capsul.org is overpriced and much lower quality)

I ended up self hosting my own in a privacy-friendly low-cost VPS after trying everything in some censorship heavy locations (SuperVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad, Surfshark, Frog{something}VPN …) & rotating the address from time to time (I using a domain name so I don’t have to change all the clients). My private one uses whatever new obfs protocol pops up and some other things to make fingerprinting very hard. Combining this with residential proxies & TOR+private bridges for browsing works like a charm EVERYWHERE.

Commercial VPNs all fail because they use standard protocols and are very easy to fingerprint if you try enough.

It has its issues but so far the most reasonable.

(If you are in a censorship heavy area, go with something else, Mullvad relies on standard protocols that are easy to inspect and shut down)

I am impressed! Thanks for the work and for sharing the good news.

Re-write in Rust?

I fail to understand how a technology can be a scam. How is Blockchain a scam? nosql is also a scam? what does a scam mean when talking about a technology?

Try to keep an open mind, some things might not work for you, but somebody else will find it great.

I see a similar sentiment with being anti AI (they mean anti LLMs), like what are they against? the transformer architecture? kinda weird, like declaring I am anti math or anti electricity or electronics… I don’t get it.

I am really impressed. Thanks! I will be having a deeper look.

Side note: lemmy.world people are irrationally triggered by some stuff you mentioned: blockchain and cryptocurrencies (this is the same as being triggered by ssh 🤣), or religion, … Keep that in mind while you read 'the feedback" here.

I do agree. Also the change log for all app updates now are: stability and performance improvements

Did you read them? somebody is spreading fear for no reason. It almost feels like they want people to use something else.

I had the same thought and I don’t understand why you are being down-voted. All those “security issues” are a minor inconvenience at worst. I went through them twice and I am fine living with them in my publicly exposed instance (publicly just for myself and my wife wherever we are).

Yeah, in addition to the other million benefits. Like being much lighter, isn’t a giant spyware, decent scripting engine, covers all features that office has and more (it had PDF export way earlier), … My bachelor degree dissertation was in libreoffice in 2013. Since then, nobody can convince me to go back to Office.

I do agree. Maybe we could normalize having bots that duplicate the good posts from there and discuss them here. But yeah, it’s not so obvious how to measure a “good post”.

To me it’s a feature and not a problem to have less people. I had more online human interaction in lemmy than I had anywhere else (except maybe facebook in early times). Look at Reddit now, good luck interacting with real genuine people. Everyone is shilling something and nobody is honest, plus the low quality posts count growing.

I saw some studies a few years ago on how people are less interested in traditional social media and more interested in instant messaging 1to1 and small group chats. Also something about how group chats become dead after they exceed a couple hundred members.

Just to say, I am more happy with the way things are in lemmy. I appreciate all aspects of Lemmy really.

You are not wrong. But there are things you can do to make a point. Make Reddit as a 2nd class citizen and drive people to lemmy, mastodon and the others. Like add posts with no comments, just relay bot, … Make it clear.

Same with GitHub, it’s mirror to my Gitea instance. You can see stuff but you have to move somewhere else to contribute and report issues. Not a terrible thing to use these proprietary services and yet make them 2nd class citizens.

I came here to say at least it’s not discord then I saw your comment. Yes, there s mattermost, matrix, IRC, … I am not installing Discord, I am not opening an account. I mean what s next? host your community in Skype?

I am curious why not docker? it s pretty convenient in my setup (docker compose + traefik). If I need to migrate it s really simple, if I am to nuke a service just bring it down and delete the path.
