Calling mastodon.social a decentralized network haha. The experience of running and using your instance is soooooo bad because they don’t care at all

You were ambitious providing it for your family

People repeat and repeat that email is hard but it’s a legend. I have been self hosting for years on a residential ip and a random domain and it just works

To be honest it was always the case, because the internet was built for this

You vastly underestimate the price of the machines. Data centers might change hands but they will always exist because the machines need a building regardless of what happens

Wow there is a chance this becomes good

Would be so fun if we all switched at the same time

People on reddit stayed for this reason, they know

Radicale

Single prompt takes 25% of the monthly usage in like 30 seconds even though I have Pro haha

It’s a giant nut

The thing is nobody wants to be a mod in here. 100% of those who apply are taken

Don’t hesitate to seek help when you need it though, most people will be glad and feel trusted

I dated someone that felt exactly this way and it was awful. I had like to tell you more about it but it would scare you more than anything. Just make sure you don’t hurt people due to not being able to know what they feel

I have been ipv6 only for a few years due to my ISP and it made a few ipv4-only people very angry when they couldn’t access my websites

The very premise of Gemini FastAPI seems flawed to me, if it’s trying to create a wrapper when Google clearly does not want that to exist. The challenges that you observed, such as the brittleness of IP allowlists, would suggest to me that the overall endeavor is going to be brittle, by Google’s design.

I would indeed not recommend deploying the Gemini FastAPI project, it doesn’t work very well. The authors were ambitious and decided to reverse engineer it. That’s efficient and great, but it’s also hard to get it working and as you guessed, it is brittle. What they should be doing in my opinion is just run an headless browser and either proxy its traffic or install an extension inside to send messages in the real website and record its responses.

However, I have plenty of other containers that also benefit having an outbound firewall, like Immich for instance, which only needs access to the public tiles server for the map.

Wait you are right, I just estimated it and it’s around 0.10$ a day. Not sure it’s worth it though, people could find you and sue you

I totally agree and this is basically what it does except I added an allowlist feature, but I have some containers with an empty allowlist
