Yeah, I could they trust a for profit corporation to help them connect with others by sharing about their lifes.
What stupid fools, the only thing that should be given to corporation is the pointy end of a 105mm round and you should share the details of you personal life with nobody you don’t have a blood relation with.
I have it on all the time in tcpip mode. I need it for file sync and remote streaming my phone with scrcpy. Especially when I use my phone as a wireless webcam.
That would mean less money, at least in the short term, but also in the long term as it grants the user the autonomy of optionality, the power to choose some of Google’s edicts. Really it’s about the power to shape the choices of the users in the future. Take their power away. And in the future this will be conducive to leverage this power against the user for more money.
I asked the AI about it, in case anyone is curious https://chatgpt.com/share/68454a70-5cd8-8005-8075-3579244f0ce4
Buy the cheapest laptop you can find, with a broken screen it’s fine. Install debian 12 on it give it a memorable name, like “server” go to a DNS registrar of your choice, maybe “porkbun” and buy your internet DNS name for example “MyInternetWebsite.tv”, this will cost you 20$/30$ for the rest of your life, or until we finally abolish the DNS system to something less extortionnate Install webmin and then apache on it go to your router, give the laptop a static address in the DNS section Some router do no have the ability to apply a static dhcp lease to computers on your network, in that case it will be more complicated or you will have to buy a new one, one that preferably supports openwrt. then go to port forwarding and forward the ports 80 and 443 to the address of the static dhcp lease now use puttygen to create a private key, copy that public key to your linux laptop’s file called /root/.ssh/authorized_keys go to the webmin interface, which can be accessed with http://server.lan:10000/ from any computer on your PC and setup dynamic dns, this will make the DNS record for MyInternetWebsite.tv change when the IP of your internet connection changes, which can happen at any time, but usually rarely does. But you have to, or else when it changes again, your website and email will stop working. Now go to your desktop computer, and download winsshfs, put in your private key and mount the folder /var/www/html/ to a drive letter like “T:” Now, whatever you put in T: , will be the content of your very own internet web server enjoy
Pull the cancer out by the root.
Sure but the second I lose my mobility I will put a deer slug through my head.
Hi,
The internal port will also be the same as the external port 80 and 443. If the router is running in bridge mode, that would mean that your dhcp, dns and nat is happening on the upstream router. That means you will have to go to the upstream router to setup the port forwarding.
Also depending on how it works internally with the VPN. It might try to port forward the ports on the VPN’s ip address Which none of the VPN I tried allowed to port forward port 80 and 443
With a linux or openwrt router this could be as easy as the following
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.199:80 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.199:443
But the problem with store bought router is that every one of them has a different way of doing the things so it gets confusing really fast.
All of this confusion about port forwarding was engineered to discourage ordinary people from using their internet to host their own files and instead because cloud-dependant techno-serfs.
Another way, would be to go on the forum low end talk and obtain a VPS, and host your apache server there. That would work, but you would be back to renting someone else’s computer (aka cloud bull) but it’s still better than paying squarespace about it.
Keep at it, you’ll figure it out, it’s actually very easy once you know all the complicated bits, I do it all the time.
