If you don’t have a specific goal, here are some ideas.

Build a NAS.

Use a bunch of small PCs or pis, build a CA, a DNS server. Make an db server and an app server.

Get shit running on your network.

Suit them all up with ELK stack.

Misbehave on your own network. Go find evidence for your misbehaving.

DoS yourself.

Without goals it’s tough to give ideas beyond general like this.

Maybe instead of complaining, provide the summary yourself? Be the change you want to see in the world!

I am happy to watch the video and see no issues with people using Lemmy for its intended purposes.

It’s to curb gas theft. They’re making sure you can fill the RV before you fill the RV.

Honestly the HTTP 1.1 Must Die from black hat really makes me think that every govt has 0days on everything.

The desk setup is really nice (standing desk, hidden cabling for the screens), everything is clean

Yeah 10/10 good job on hiding those cables. The desk is pretty thin so hiding all the power supply and display port or HDMI cables, as well as keeping all the other cables (I mean, that mic surely has an XLR cable, where’s the audio interface?!) from peripherals well hidden. I mean, maintaining the level of cleanliness is difficult. Anywhere but an illustration.

Basically all of astronomy, we have no “why” for any of it.

“Ah, we’ve deduced that about 27% of the universe is made of… Dark matter. Don’t ask. But more importantly…68% is made of dark energy. Also do not ask.”

I wouldn’t say setting up a reverse proxy (to your home LAN) is painful. Its just generally Ill advised. Its painful if compromised.

It does work for this use case.

You don’t need to, you can use wire guard.

Mullvad is the only VPN you can pay for with cash and actually remain untraced.

I didn’t say you need it. I strongly recommend the as a provider.

No I am talking about creating a secure tunnel.

Secure tunneling.

D’oh.

Yep. My b. WordPress or bust, really. You can mess around with drupal or Joomla, but WordPress will be the lowest barrier to entry for self hosting.

I agree, I only include it as a “woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!” lower barrier to entry.

Try WordPress first. If they’re absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.

Use WordPress. It’s by far the most used content management platform, so if you’re a beginner, you’ll find the most resources. It’s also free and open source.

Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.

There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.

Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

The whole anti Google holier than thou is annoying at these levels.

Ok fine, don’t use Google. But telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade is worse than vegans telling you about their diet.

I’m all for kicking Google to the curb. I’m not for shoving my beliefs down other people’s throats.

Man, I don’t know. I wanna know too.

I got a refurb drive in 2019 that has been clicking and rumbling a little to moderately for 6 years now. Great value at this point, but it’s replacement is gathering dust…

Having 0 documentation doesn’t mean you have no DLP strategy. That’s amateur hour.

And again, NB: this does not scale.
