repost: Should r/Piracy continue protesting?

They should stop protesting and let the place rot, they're already on lemmy and officially moved there now. Best thing they could do is to lock the subreddit, point to lemmy, and keep it like that till admins feels like force-reopening an (illegal!) subreddit and appoint supermods that won't do anything with it. r/piracy is dead, long live c/piracy official lemmy community.

Best places to get human reviews/recommendations outside of reddit?

Reply in thread

They don't know what should they do at this point, they wanted to scrape the website (which is what teddit plans to do) but saw that it would be too muc work, then they said they would use graphQL and now they want to cache requests to reduce the API usage while asking for the instance admins to provide the private key. They made a poll on github on wether they should make the telemetry of sending the number of requests in a totally private way, and the majority was fine, but the devs were still skeptical on adding this feature, so yeah, libreddit doesn't have a bright future currently.

Should I be concerned with exposing my server to the public?

Isolate your programs, keep the critical stuff away from the public using tailscale or a VPN, hell, even an SSH tunnel could work in your case, make sure to keep different password for each software for your database. If possible virtualize each software to keep them from communicating to other softwares. This is how i manage my infrastructure (or should be, i haven't gotten yet to use tailscale for admin only websites).

VMs or containers?

If it's relevant to your actual job, learning to use k8s will benefit you more. Generally i'd prefer to keep the bare metal OS as clean as possible to avoid breaking anything during upgrades and such, and keep the containers and normal running apps on separate VMs that can communicate with eachothers, k8s is mostly good if you got a lot of servers and want to manage them all at once through a single "orchestrator". But for self hosting stuff in your home it's kinda overkill. But it still can be used to manage things up. So imo go for k8s since it can be used in homeservers, it's just that it's kinda like using a nuclear bomb to kill a wasp.

Should I use Matrix for Messaging?

Just stick to signal, matrix can be used the same way but it's a lot more complicated and requires involvement in keeping your backup key safe, otherwise you'll lose every encrypted message! Signal is similar to whatsapp. (which is obviously...a popular app...which should already explain the simplicity of setting it up.)
