I love the concept, but I don’t know how to really run a server in a safe way that wouldn’t put my home network at risk.
I think it’s fine if you let someone else do that. Especially if you’re paying a “small” company to do that rather than relying on the usual suspects.
I feel like I’ve really got to get in on this. It’s a crazy time (crosses self). I guess it’s not just that I want to save graphics or be able to express myself, but that I want things like Read.cv which I just discovered on the article through the link shared by OP to survive or thrive. It’s going down. It’s merging with something that I can appreciate, but which doesn’t share the same vibe.
This might be something, if over my head (or more likely motivation) I would be willing to pay someone to figure out. I’ll have to check them out with you guys when we get to that point!
I suppose ^^ I was looking at https://nearlyfreespeech.net/, but the problem is it looks like theres a hard limit of 100 pages, from what I can tell by the price estimator. My website has… a lot more than that bc I for some reason put every single comic page on a seperate page.
Where did you find that? Because I can’t see anything like that on their site.
The label says sites, not pages though
…wait you’re right. I might look into moving over to it!!
relatively speaking, self hosting is quite safe. if you do proper network isolation. so in case of potential breach the attacker is “jailed” to that specific computer and cant move through the network.
this of course requires understanding networking , which not everyone does, and that’s okay.
another slightly safer method is through reverse-tunneling, reverse-ssh, reverse-proxy, it has many names. basically you’d rent a cheap VPS and reverse a connection. so to oversimplify the terminology you’re port forwarding through it. all of the dns is pointed towards the vps, meanwhile its actually hosted in your room.
i totally understand not wanting to deal with this, i have it hosted by a cloud company myself.
I’ve got a lot more than 100 pages on starbreaker.org and I haven’t heard about any problems from the management at Nearly Free Speech. You should be fine.
