I have the same issue with sftp and webdav. (20GB zip file)

I don’t get that part. Can you explain it please?

Dokploy has a list of hundreds of “templates” where you basically one click install a working docker container with said app. But there is no deeper integration.

Is sandstorm different somehow?

I prefer dokploy and having full control over each aspect (like auth, backups and routing).

But this looks nice for when you don’t care and just want to use it as it is provided.

I played around with the pricing calc and it doesn’t seem worth it unless you’re hosting something at risk of being taken down by the gov & your regular VPS provider.

And the most sensible aproach would probably be (if you want to host something in the gray area, like a shadow library) to only switch to it WHEN you actually do run into legal trouble, not before. Unless of course you are absolutely sure that you will be taken down, but then you should rather host it on tor or tbh not at all …

TreeFold cost about double compared to a same spec regular VPS.

I guess the most resillient AND cost effective setup would be to run everything on your own hardware and use frp or pangolin to a very slim VPS. That way migration is easy and you can get the smallest capacity possible, costing only 2.50$ a month, which is more in line with other VPS providers.

But honestly best way to find out is to try out the service. I wasn’t able to find any websites that are specifically hosted on treefold, so maybe prepay for a month and just try it out. Maybe it runs like ass or is unreliable or there are hidden costs etc.

I initially thought it is about js being owned by oracle (the language itself being proprietary).

What worked reasonably well for me is “deep research”.

Even when summarizing the content of the sources, it fucks up and says something factually incorrect that the source never stated. But it is pretty good at understanding what you are looking for and giving a list of relevant links to read. Somehow google is worse with that and gives many irrelevant results.

Today for example, I tried using google to find a lithium battery of specific size and capacity and the results were not what I was looking for. Since I didn’t know the technical terms I just explained it in colloquial english “regular smartphone battery, but a footprint of 5x5cm” and it converted it to good search terms “single cell 3.7V lipo 105050/125050/135050” (which I then also used in my own search) and also provided a bunch of links to webshops that had those exact batteries!

I would have never known that I need to search for the conventional numerals that describe it’s size or that there is a difference with the charging controller between single cell and multi cell. (It gave me a source to that claim and I used that to read up on the matter)

Just googling my query only returned random non 5x5cm batteries, some multicell, some videocorder batteries etc. without any link to the difference or explanation of the tech terms or standards.

Does it only work with root?

I think the main keyword here is “emulate” if you would have added it to your search terms, the git repo would show up.

maybe this?

And more exposure for the Linux OS.

Good opportunity for learning. I’m sure Linus will not sugarcoat anything and give it straight to the other Linus.

I’m looking forward to watching it.

It says jeena.net is up but I get a 504.

After a minute, it works again.

Do you have like an on demand server that spins up the containers when a request comes in?

a butterfly

In case anybody has no idea what that means:

Didn’t we already have this same thing with a different name? https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps

Any of the ~15 most used distros is stable when you learn how to not fuck it up.

As an anecdote:

my Ubuntu and Debian installs used to break twice a year on dist upgrade back then (started with Linux when Ubuntu 12 came out, got it in a magazine). It would cost me a weekend of trying to fix it before giving up and reinstalling the whole dammn thing and re-doing my setup from scratch …

Then I switched and my arch install has been the same for the past ~10 years with only minor fixes maybe once a year. It outlived the hardware it was on twice.

But every time people keep saying Debian and Ubuntu are stable and Arch is unstable 🤷‍♂️

Not really selfhosted, but a decent open source app:

You probably can put it in a kasm workspace or noVNC docker container if you really want to selfhost it.

Places without a property tax:

Lichtenstein, Monaco, Cook Islands, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands.

If you want specifically “free land”:

Not a lot of people want to live there.

You can go to the bumfuck north in russia and nobody will come check whether you’ve built a house in the woods or not. In general, extremely rural places with weak law enforcement will work, albeit being technically illegal.

There are tribal lands in africa (and probably other tribal areas in latin america) that will accept you and you can build your own hut in their village. There are a couple of historic records of people doing that, even in modern times.

Yes and yes

You’re still paying rent (though up-front instead of monthly or quarterly

thats like saying buying a house is paying a lifetime of rent upfront. It’s true in some sense, but a pretty weird thing to claim.

I know all that and none of it contradicts what I said.

You remember when you could get a “free” phone with a subscription to a telecommunication service? It’s kind of like that. The phone is not really free. It is marketing bs. The price (and profit) is payed by you through the subscription.
