Prefab system images From Russia With Love, including password managers and surfing proxies, spun up on a VPS operated by totally unknown people (probably remoted to the actual DC from some place with bad water)...security nightmare. When I see Statue of Liberty sticking up out of the water on the shoreline, imma scream like Charles Heston! Need Congress/FTC to set guidelines. In mean time, know that you don't get al…

I uhh.. what?

I think it means he does not do any self-hosting.

So, that would be interesting to note who here is in the EU self-hosting w/ their symmetric, low-cost, high-speed ISPs, versus the US, paying $600/mo for a 5 year contract for 10/10 Mbit DIA setup (anecdote).

I am paying 76 euros/month for 500/100 (This is max achievable, with latency at around 6ms, after replacing their crappy router (12ms+) with mikrotik, throughput can be lower but mostly it is throttled by source) fiber connection + 1 phone (50gb download, LTE, with 80% of country coverage) + max iptv scheme with HBO + static ipv4 ip and reverse resolve. I would love to hear what the prices are around the world. (edit…

France

50€ for 950/300 (fibre by Orange) . I could get 10G/1G (fiber by Free) for 100€ but I could not use my own router inserted of the provided one.

I have DSL in US, and get 12Mbps down and less than 1Mbps up, for $55/mo. Shared LTE phone and data plan (2 people) w/ 22GB/mo total is $160. And I also pay about $800/mo for health insurance for 2 people.

We also pay for health insurance in France. I would say about 100€/mo for a family of four. It is directly taken off my pay slip so I am not sure about the exact number.

I self-host the following at home. Everything is running under LXD (and I have all of the scripts to set it up here[1]): * nginx to reverse-proxy each of the services. * NextCloud. * Matrix Homeserver (synapse). * My website (dumb Flask webapp). * Tor (non-exit) relay. * Tor onion service for my website. * Wireguard VPN (not running in a container, obviously). All running on an openSUSE Leap box, with ZFS as the file…

> * Wireguard VPN (not running in a container, obviously). I plan to use Wireguard too, so I shouldn't run on containers? Can you elaborate on that?

From the small research I did, I think you need a customized kernel on the host to do that.

I run it on the host.

Hmmm... With which filesystems?

it's an electrical issue (contacts on SD cards, voltage/thermal spikes, etc.)

Sure. I still wonder and it would be interesting to find out which filesystems is the most resilient under the conditions you describe there.
