I saw sharrr the other day which apparently can be self hosted and uses cryptography / expiracy / single download / multi part downloads to make it hard to find a compete file if an attacker even has host access, it also encrypts the file prior to uploading to the server and only you on the client side have the encryption.
That said, this is all according to the architecture of the service, not sure about security in practice.
If you are using openvpn this env may be a good thing to try. It may need adjusted though.
OPENVPN_MSSFIX=‘1350’
Yeah that makes sense I didn’t mean in any aggressive way I guess codeberg is archived so that answers the question of what one to use for issues and such. I’ll put up a feature request on it. I do appreciate the work and have been watching it progress!
What’s up with changing to github?
I’ve been watching this one since it can support high availability but the biggest thing I see missing is support for indexing / searching documents.
I like the direction this has gone so far and excited to see how it continues!
VPN would still work for iPhone I imagine. Small whitelist of DNS would do 90%+ of the job.
Using the igpu might be problematic for transcoding if you need that. I’d recommend older intel / Asus NUCs if you want a mini PC. 3 year warranty, built for Enterprise, tall version has room for a 7mm tall sata SSD or HDD along with nvme m.2 SSD.
I think if you do Asus 12gen + they have another m.2 slot though it is the smaller one 2242. Doing all this you can upgrade it to 64GB RAM, 8TB m.2 2280, 8TB SATA SSSD, and 1TB M.2 2242. In homelab especially with mini PCs the limit is usually RAM / storage rather than CPU.
I got 4 11th gen with 64 GB RAM each and 32TB of SSD storage. I recommend avoiding QLC SSD as much as possible. Aim for TLC , MLC, or SLC. Higher storage capacity tends to be QLC or TLC, QLC has shortest endurance and slowest speeds.
I think something like this would do? You can search the list of supported devices there. Search by exposes power.
Forgejo supports a ton of repos including docker / OCI images.
Yeah works good until its under load which federation does have. Matrix and Lemmy both got like 20GB of RAM dedicated to the database on my servers.
There are postgres settings to reduce disk writes. There’s a max size and a timeout to write to disk. By default these values are on the lower end I believe.
NUCs are where to go. Intel chips good for transcoding and 3 year warranty. Had 1 die out of 3 die in 4 months and got a full replacement. Got another so I’m running 4 now and been about a year. Running tons of stuff and measured power to about $2.5/mo/pc.
Ah yeah it sucks to host on your actual computer, especially if you are using the laptop portably. I just wanted to point out storage isn’t too bad if setup right. Best of luck finding a good host for your needs!
Curious here how is storage an issue? Lemmy is 90% text and if you do the proxy for pictures its like 10%. If you use pictures from elsewhere and don’t use pictures it’s all text. I have had lemmy hosted for over a year now and it’s using under 35GB. I have a not that subscribes to top posts on larger instances so I should have a lot of communities loaded.
Edit: oh yeah Pictrs integrates with S3 api now so you can offload image storage to cloud for pennies.

Got a 490W or 650W PSU. Looks like the CPU is probably around 9-10 years. I’d say probably not much. I bet it’s idling would be around 120-200W depending on # of disks, disk type, and if your using the PCI slots.
For reference I’m running 4 Intel NUC11i7s, $400/unit bare metal, 64GB ram (2x32) $120-$130, and the most expensive part is the flash storage I am buying to fit my needs. Power on these are like 10W idle and max is like 60W each when using turbo.
The hidden cost of power usage could be a lot more expensive then something more modern though lol
Nzbgeek and nzbplanet are good. From my experience these 2 have very similar quality.
Drunkenslug is a lot harder to get into but it does find items the other two don’t have on occasion. On the downside, drunkenslug lacks a one time subscription and the other two have a one time subscription. It does however have a free tier so you can probably be fine still using it as a last resort to try finding harder to get content.
