I'm using Gluetun via Docker Compose as well right now and can happily say all the ports exposed via the ports: setting are local network only. I could port forward them via the router probably (haven't tried) but I only use them for access via LAN. To expose ports over the VPN connection you use the FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS environment variable. A stripped version of my current compose (example port numbers, not real) with LAN access to 6000 and WAN access to 1234 and 5678:
services:
gluetun:
image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: gluetun
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN # in the default compose file i dunno what this does tbh
environment:
- VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
- VPN_TYPE=openvpn
- OPENVPN_VERSION=<redacted>
- OPENVPN_USER=<redacted>
- OPENVPN_PASSWORD=<redacted>
- OPENVPN_CUSTOM_CONFIG=/gluetun/custom.ovpn
- FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=1234,5678 # allows ports through VPN connection
- FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=192.168.0.0/24 # I found that I needed this for certain LAN access
ports:
- 6000:6000 # port i access via LAN
volumes:
- /mnt/example/config.ovpn:/gluetun/custom.ovpn
The best way to find groups is actually https://lemmyverse.net/communities . All individual servers are missing other communities due to de-feds or lack of federation. While I can't say numerically how comprehensive Lemmyverse is, it's a lot better than any instance I've tried.
"We’ve spent two years requiring our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms,"
... "and that's why we're deleting a bunch of features never to bring them back. Because we're just so efficient!" Crazy how many companies use this awful excuse.
Also is that a misquote by the author or did they really write "requiring"?
I'm going to disagree on this one, I've seem far too many comments, especially from LW users, along the lines of "I can't be bothered to change websites because I'm already settled in." Most people are attached to their posts and content and consider moving instance as "losing progress". And the bigger an instance is the harder it'll be to leave if they ever pull something seriously "power trippy" that could lock off content to some people, because there will be a large mass of communities and posts on that instance.
I prefer votes being semi-anonymous. The vote counts are technically public, you just have to use software that displays them, but that added barrier is enough for most people to never check and that is how I prefer it. I feel like seeing voter names just encourages getting into pissing contests about "why did you downvote me" which I don't want to happen because: A, votes don't matter and B, if someone downvoted without commenting they probably don't want to spend half an hour arguing in comments.
It’ll be interesting to see how things play out with Lemmy instances when Reddit bans porn.
Especially as many Lemmy instances don't want to host or moderate NSFW content. I don't blame them, but I'm also doubtful pornlemmy alone could handle the load (pun intended).
Don't make the same mistake I did. Get a backup in place before using ZFS. Using ZFS and RAIDing your drives together makes them a singular failure point. If ZFS fucks up, you're done. The only way to mitigate this is having another copy in a different pool and preferably different machine. I got lucky that my corrupted ZFS pool was still readable and I could copy files off, but others have not been so lucky.
Jaywalking isn't inherently unsafe. You can still get run over in a crosswalk and crossing earlier in the block when traffic is light can be safer. That isn't to say I recommend it though.
Minor nit pick from my experience. If the word is written out "could have" I enunciate the entire word. I only pronounce the contraction "could've" as "could of". And vice versa when dictating.
I would think many servers that accept donations don't rely on them. But taking donations while it is optional can stave off the time when donations would be necessary.
I haven't used Temu to compare, but AliExpress's website bombards you with about 3 coupon or app popups upon loading it as well. That and the constant combo deals they're pushing with a browsing UI straight from my nightmares.
I've had this happen twice in two weeks since installing Watchtower and have since scheduled it to only run on Friday evening...
