changing the DNS works when the site has been banned for not complying, is how I understood.

seems right. actually you were just not responding to the questions of anyone in this chain, but always responding with irrelevant things. and thanks for the downvotes! please bring some more.

if they can do that, how come they can’t do the same with displayport?

and where does forgejo support federation for issues, PRs?

if the server is compromised, all the data it stores is at risk of getting drleted or modified. so I don’t think a VPS really solves the problem.

no, forgejo doesnt have “all that”. you are totally missing the point. git is federated, of course, but the added features of forgejo or any other known git forge is not (yet).

what do those public wifis see? randomized mac addresses nowadays, mostly. that compared to your constant IMEI and the KYC the company submitted you to…

clearly, they asked it a question that average joe would do, and has shown that again its full of overly confident lies. it did not just reinforce the original belief of the user that it is fake, but it also hallucinated there a bunch of professional-like statements that are false if you take the time to check them. most people won’t check them though, and straight up believe what it just spit out and think “oh this is so smart! outrageous that people call me dumb for asking it life advice!”

bojler eladó!

GitLab used to be the only one you could self host, but that’s not the case anymore, GitHub Enterprise can be self hosted.

There’s also forgejo and gitea now. I think these are much more popular in the selfhosting community than gh enterprise

does not seem like it

guess what, I know how these work. running 2 dozens of services over two machines, and as I said above, I use my own root certificate… that’s how I know that lots of apps have problems of varying severity with custom root certs! usage of user-installed certs is opt-in nowadays for smartphone apps, it’s not at all like on windows or linux.

you are telling how to do things. the whole thread has been about you telling us to rent a domain for certificates and stop complaining about it being the only viable way…

I think the reason why I don’t remember seeing these functions is because most people here tend to buy the cheapest stuff and that’s what what I have to deal with

Sure, but you can’t access your home network anyway if your router is turned off…

of course but most routers won’t do anything like this. and by router I mean the all in one devices people have, not enterprise gear.

Asus routers, even my 15 year old tplink archer A7 could

with factory firmware?

the only router firmware I have seen be able to do that is openwrt, and maybe mikrotik’s. none of these are common though, but if you can do this then yes this is a pretty efficient solution

You can also generate your own certs and use your own ca.

I do this, with a custom root cert, but it has problems. some apps don’t accept it, some only accept it by totally disabling cert verification.

installation is also very cumbersome: you go to a weird, badly structured menu on your phone deep in the settings, and select the certificate from storage where apps could have had replaced it while you were navigating the menu.
it does not ask you for confirmation, does not show anything important about the cert, like its fingerprint you could use to quickly check its not been modified, any name constraints, validity period, etc. users cannot tell what that cert will grant its creator, because the system does not tell them anything so that they could decide, other than a generic “your connection may be monitored” message at all times. and when they refuse to install your cert, they are right, because this way it is very risky.

so please tell me “how to do things right”, or shut up if you can’t tell any useful info

Then VPN in, send a signal to the esp using one of various methods to tell it to send the packet.

this sounds like it requires another computer already turned on

yes you need if you want HTTPS that is accepted by the smartphone client apps of your services.

domains are a constant expense

we shouldn’t need to pay for a domain to be able to self host.

yes, I made a mistake when writing. I was hoping I edited it soon enough that nobody noticed
