After reading today EA's takes on AI and strategies about ~~boosting user monetization~~ promoting and exploitation of user's gambling addiction, I asked myself "How can someone defend those company agains boycotting and piracy?".

So here I am: is there somewhere a curated list of VG companies to absolutely avoid giving money too? If not, do you thing we should do it? It would be nice to have a list with arguments and sources in order to make more publicly relevant the ethical and strateical reasons behind piracy.

p.s.I think it's ok if you pirate things even without a moral stand behind, especially if you can't afford games and other media at all, but the arguments still apply

Hy everyone, I have a PiHole instance running on my home server, and I changed my router (Fritz box) DNS in order to use my PiHole. Everything runs great.

I was wondering if I can put another DNS provider on my "alternative DNS server" in my router, in order to have a fallback alternative in case my server is down, or if I should avoid it.

I'm asking this because I don't know if the request will be handled in parallel between the two DNS provider (that would make my PiHole useless) or not. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I would love to make up a system that enable me to give and AI an ebook (or a list of more ebooks) and have as output a book summary (chapter by chapter) in markdown.

Can someone suggest me how to do it, or point me in the right direction?

any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi everyone, I'm planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a "old" Thinkcentre i5-7th. I'm thinking using proxmox in order to experiment with different configuration and I was wondering if it's possible to have a single container/vr (with Libreelec) output HDMI to my TV, and keep other VM's headless and controlled from another PC when needed.

Are there some particular setting or nwebie suggestion that could help me achieve that? Also, do you think proxmox is a good choice, or it's better stick to a single debian/ubuntu server OS?

Hi everyone, this community is helping me a lot in starting my journey into the self-hosting world. I'm currently just experimenting using my main pc as server, but I'm planning getting an old minipc and let it running 24h.

I wanted to give acces to my hosted service from outside my wifi and since I noticed my Frirzbox router support natively Wireguard VPN i just gave it a try. It was super easy and worked flawlessly, I was able to access to my jellyfin library from 4g and other WiFi. BUT I noticed a big loss in connection speed while using my VPN (e.g. from mb/s 400 to 200 or even worse) and I'm not sure it's a good Idea to have all my devices constantly under this kind of loss forever.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you suggest other routes in order to expose my services to outside? Thank you, and sorry if it's a noob question.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an RSS feed reader available both for PC (Windows and/or Linux) and Android. I would like to have my feed synced and organized in the same way (and maybe some backup functionality too).

Do you have any suggestions? Or do you know some other way I could accomplish that?

I'm quite a newbie to the self-hosted world, and I was wondering if a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 could be enough to start something and have "reasonable" performance.

I'm interested in exploring a self-hosted torrenting machine with a jellyfin server, a pi-hole instance and something like nextcloud for cloud drive and foto backup.

Is it worth trying, or it's better I just wait to get my hands on better hardware to begin with?

Edit: thank you for answering me, you confirmed my expectations!

Hi everyone! Can you suggest an RSS feed reader with a BBS-like interface (terminal-like)? I'm looking for something similar to the NeoModem project (which is lovely and you can find HERE).

Both for Windows or Linux is fine. Thank you in advance!
