Why did ZippyBot bring me here?
Hi, new Monero user here. I've recently started to mine some Monero and was wondering where I can spend it in the future. During my research, I've seen some sites saying "Please send enough Monero to cover the transaction fees". What does that mean? I'll give an example to make my question a bit more clear: I want to send 1 XMR to a seller. Let's say that the transaction fees are 0.1 XMR as an example. After sending my Monero, does the seller receive 0.9 XMR or are the transaction fees automatically paid with my wallet? Thanks in advance!

Alright, sounds good. What firewall are you recommending me to use? I would like to use a firewall that's easy to manage.
Edit: I went with ufw
.

Does iptables count as a firewall? You said that I should "forget" iptables. Is it that bad? It came preinstalled on the VPS. Should I switch? And if so, how?
AlexPewMaster 6 months ago • 100%
I have no idea how to properly manage the firewall with Hetzner. I've opened the ports on the Hetzner management page and I ran several iptables commands to allow traffic from those ports. Still doesn't work. This is weird!

Not really, pinging my homeserver via the VPS returns:
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Destination address required
From 10.0.0.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
ping: sendmsg: Destination address required
^C
--- 10.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, +2 errors, 100% packet loss, time 1019ms
I want to move away from Cloudflare tunnels, so I rented a cheap VPS from Hetzner and tried to follow [this guide](https://blog.aiquiral.me/bypass-cgnat). Unfortunately, the WireGuard setup didn't work. I'm trying to forward all traffic from the VPS to my homeserver and vice versa. Are there any other ways to solve this issue? VPS Info: **OS:** Debian 12 **Architecture:** ARM64 / aarch64 **RAM:** 4 GB **Traffic:** 20 TB

Hey, thank you for your blog post. I'm definitely reconsidering my choices with Cloudflare tunnels. I will take a look at the VPS setup. Privacy is something that I really care about, so this would be pretty useful. I would definitely be ready to pay 3.29€ per month for the privacy aspects of this setup.

Thanks! I'm glad that I could show you some other services!
AlexPewMaster 6 months ago • 100%
If you have a domain and connected it to Cloudflare, you can assign tunnels to specific subdomains. For example, I have Invidious running locally on my server with port 3000. I connected the server with a Cloudflare tunnel and pointed invidious.reallyaweso.me to http://192.168.0.17:3000
, which is my local IP.

I prefer owning my server hardware than renting a VPS. I completely forgot that I couldn't port forward in my home network, so Cloudflare was my last-minute solution to that problem.

Thank you for pointing these things out! I've removed Dockge from Uptime Kuma.

I know, I just added the speed test because I can. If people want to use it, they can.
Hi, you guys might know me from [these](https://lemmy.zip/post/11454319) [three](https://lemmy.zip/post/11871904) [posts](https://lemmy.zip/post/12018401). After reading all of the comments, I've decided to purchase a Mini PC to host public instances of privacy-respecting services. I'm here to bring some good news: **I got it working perfectly!** You can visit [reallyaweso.me](https://reallyaweso.me) today and get a list of services that I'm hosting! All services are deployed via Docker and proxied through Cloudflare. You might ask: "Why Cloudflare?". It's because I can't port forward things on my home network. It really sucks that I'm depending on Cloudflare to do the port forwarding for me, but it is what it is. If you want me to host a specific service that you want, feel free to comment on this post! I would really appreciate it if you guys could checkout some services that I'm hosting, as I don't know if everything went smoothly or not. Thank you guys so much for helping me on this journey!!

Is a Pentium powerful enough? I recently found a YouTube channel called "Wolfgang's Channel" and he also has a home server with a Pentium. He says it is plenty enough for these kind of tasks.

I've noticed the same thing. Every Intel N100-based machine costs ~200€ on Amazon.

but the SD cards don't last long
This is what scares me the most. Ideally, I want a whole SSD to store data. I really don't want to lose any important data. I plan on hosting public services (like the services I've mentioned above) under my domain, so having a reliable drive would be really helpful.

I've never heard of Intel N100 before, what's that? Just so you know, a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 Gigabytes of RAM costs ~90€ in my country (Germany). I wouldn't really count that as overpriced. Could you show me some machine examples with Intel N100?
I recently bought a domain from Porkbun (thanks to all of the comments on [this post](https://lemmy.zip/post/11871904)!) and I want to self-host some services myself. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and I'm not quite sure if it can handle these things: - A matrix homeserver - A lemmy instance - A website with static HTML pages - Privacy-respecting frontends (Piped, Redlib etc.) I am thinking about getting a maxed-out Raspberry Pi 5 with a whole 8 Gigabytes of RAM. Is it worth it? I need a machine that is quiet, doesn't draw that much power and is overall pretty good for the money. Edit: I bought [this Mini PC](https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0B2MLV1LB) instead of the Raspberry Pi 5. Thanks to all the comments!!

Njalla doesn't seem to be a good option according to this comment on a privacy-focused forum.

What kind of TLD did you buy? Did you choose a TLD that's supported by the WHOIS privacy? I wanted to see if alexpewmaster.de
was available, and it told me this:
⚠️ PRIVACY WARNING ⚠️
This TLD does not allow WHOIS privacy but generally redacts your personal information. This means that your personal contact information will be sent to the registry but it should not be made public.
AlexPewMaster 6 months ago • 75%
I want my private information to be hidden in Whois requests. Also, I don't want to buy a domain from a registrar that seems very sketchy.
I'm currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why? Edit: I've registered my domain with Porkbun. I got a really cool one, it's called reallyaweso.me!

That seems to sum up my question. Thank you!
I've seen a lot of self-hosted software wanting to store their data in /opt, is there any reason why?

Sounds awesome! I've taken a look at Portainer and got confused on the whole Business Edition and Community Edition. What are you running?
AlexPewMaster 6 months ago • 100%
What is Portainer? You've said that it's a web UI, but what exactly does it provide you with?

This docker compose up -d
thing is something I don't understand at all. What exactly does it do? A lot of README.md files from git repos include this command for Docker deployment. And another question: How can you automatically start the Docker container? Do you need a systemd service to run docker compose up -d
?

It's great for my needs. If you think about picking one up today, I wouldn't really recommend it. It just offers too little resources to be actually viable in the regular day. I use mine because I had it laying in the dust for a couple of years. Well, it's enough for my Mumble server and the bots I use for Discord and Matrix.

Fabulously Optimized is AWESOME. Whenever my friends ask me how to get better performance or how to get shaders, I'll tell them to go install the Prism Launcher, log into their Minecraft account, install Fabulously Optimized directly from the launcher itself and additionally ask them what kind of shaders they want so that they could get the right one. Always got positive feedback!

Nice work! Are you going to use it though?
AlexPewMaster 6 months ago • 100%
I love how it says "Restaurants" but then displays an image with ice cream, makes a lot of sense 👍

Congratulations, you are now being put on a watchlist!
I never understood how to use Docker, what makes it so special? I would really like to use it on my Rapsberry Pi 3 Model B+ to ease the setup process of selfhosting different things. I'm currently running these things **without** Docker: - Mumble server with a Discord bridge and a music bot - Maubot, a plugin-based Matrix bot - FTP server - Two Discord Music bots All of these things are running as systemd services in the background. Should I change this? A lot of the things I'm hosting offer Docker images. It would also be great if someone could give me a quick-start guide for Docker. Thanks in advance!
