There’s a lot of young people on lemmy and I imagine lots of people with unfulfilling jobs.
Im self employed. My job is tough, and stressful. I wouldn’t do it for free, but I choose to do this job because i have the right skills and experience, and I genuinely enjoy “helping” people with my services.
I’ve always defended mozilla after every dumb mistake, but I’m over it.
They’re pretty much just cooked at this point.
Basically, im getting old and weird and less willing to abide corporate fuckery.
Yep.
“I manage my server in yaml. Sometimes yml.”
Im self employed so I can use what I want.
I have a few assisstants who use win 11.
I use an unofficial teams appimage all day every day.
I think its probably an electron thing.
I hate having to use it but it works fine.
what do you enjoy doing online?
my recommendation would be to start small, without having to trust yourself with your own data, at least not in the short term.
maybe try your own instance of photon, it’s a frontend for lemmy.
Sorry what integrations?
My small team using mxroute for a few years now.
Its fine. Its cheap. Support is very responsive.
Fastmail is probably the best, but their pricing is egregious.
I was with them for a decade or so but with a large archive of emails and multiple users i couldn’t justify the cost.
I think OP wants somewhere to configure a DNS zone, not just a DNS server to query.
I use cloudflare also but I suspect that OP will find them unfavourable because they’re just another giant. I’d like to de-cloudflare myself.
I use keepassxc and syncthing and have never had this problem.
I think there’s something in the settings to save after each change and reparse if there’s a remote change.
Usually I find these lists a bit “meh”, but there’s actually a bunch of stuff here I want to try.
Yeah I use StirlingPDF extensively.
I might give Bento a try but ultimately not much incentive to change.
I’ve had a Synology NAS for 15 years or so, and I think it’s ideal for this kind of use-case.
It has a point and click configuration UI that you access from a web browser.
There’s a reasonably large ecosystem of packages you can install.
I’d have a super-serious talk with them about backing up their stuff.
I basically just avoid exposing ports from containers unless I really do want them exposed on the host?
Most services go through my reverse proxy, traefik.
Things like databases don’t publish ports on the host because they’re only accessed internally, using their container name.
Yeah I’ve been using wireguard for a long time myself personally, and more recently for a small team to access an intranet.
I’m a big fan. After a half hour or so trying to understand configs it’s pretty manageable.
I’ve been trying to get zulip working.
Sounds like it addresses your requirements.
Seems to be a real bitch to self host - I’ve been doing this a while but the compose yaml is pretty arcane with hundreds of environment variables.
I didn’t “give up” exactly but it’s been on the back burner for a month or so now.
Yeah. I dont remember the documentary but maybe I watched it, or read another similar comment.
People in general just dont get this dynamic though.
Its too easy to just conclude that theyre idiots.
