How to avoid using my ISP's gateway/router? I live with people who still pay for cable TV, so the coax is required for some TV functions. by EriksonEnterprises in c/main@selfhosted.forum

I got rid of their gateway a long time ago and just plugged my router directly into the Ethernet cable from the ONT

Should be an Ethernet cable... At least that's what mine uses. Might be able to run an Ethernet cable from the ONT into where your router is, if they didn't use the Ethernet cable. if it's missing the Ethernet port, maybe a new ONT box too? That's at least my setup...

what is the point of hosting a web server? by EriksonEnterprises in c/main@selfhosted.forum

[-] EriksonEnterprises@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sounds to me like it's just part of the course to get you "introduced" to things you may venture into and using it as a tool to play with for you to get familiar with things

I totally hear ya on that! If it were me I'd be trying everything even natural remedies / holistic / etc

It's crazy how they have "cures" for basically everything but cancer... Science for ya... Profits for ya...

And yeah, these big tech companies have really monopolized. There's nearly no way to outperform them and they know it

Wish you well :/

Best VPS/Server for personal content/storage? (alien.top)

I'm considering having my own "cloud backup" service for my own personal usage (maybe family members too)

But, I'm reading some of the hosting providers terms and they're pretty strict on what's stored on a server. I don't have anything crazy other than what a typical person would have 😅 and I suppose I can skip those files, but what's the answer here? I guess I answered my own question? Lmao

Past this, just in general it would be nice to find a place that's secure with their servers regardless. Like if I used the storage for my sensitive documents, I'd hate to be with a company that'll easily access these like Google does with Google Drive...

Thank you in advance

Edit: I did some searching and found some places that apparently allow this type of stuff: Hostwinds Vicetemple Offshore Servers

In case anyone else is curious haha

DMCA and redundancy by EriksonEnterprises in c/main@selfhosted.forum

[-] EriksonEnterprises@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah that sounds right to me, okay sounds good. I also found some offshore VPS servers who ignore DMCA unless it becomes court ordered legal matter, so that'll stop a lot of this crap too

Thank you so much

DMCA and redundancy (alien.top)

Hello,

I'm currently dealing with someone who is targeting me with fake/false DMCA notices in an attempt to cause harm to my business. I'm going to deal with the legal side of that and that's not what this post is for, my main question is this:

If I had a "frontend" VPS server with NGINX on it, and then that server forwards to another separate VPS server - would this mitigate loss where only the NGINX VPS server gets locked down from a DMCA? Or would it somehow get my underlying server shut down still?
