seriously!

I know there is not point in making shit coins I just want to do it for learning purposes and to use it as "points" in a CTF challenge I am hosting.

I found some videos online but those are using an existing blockchain, is there a way to do it all locally I mean by selfhosting or something? as you can see I have very rough idea about shit coins. so yeah!

feel free to share your shit coins too!

Hello folks,

I have a mini PC which I use to host my website and some lightweight services. The mini PC idles at ~10% cpu usage. I was wondering if I can contribute 90% of CPU to the community. Thinking that maybe I can host other people's websites for free.

How can I do that? Should I host some fediverse software? What do I do with this much processing power?

Thanks in advance!

( this post may seems like it's more related to programming than selfhosting but I wasn't sure so here we go )

Hello folks,

I made a Temp SMS service using Python. I used flask for serving the API and sms-forwarder app ( https://github.com/GreyTechno/sms_forwarder ) to forward messages from a phone to the server.

there is just two end points one is where you get the home page which displays all the incoming messages and another one is used to get the message sent from the phone. it's pretty simple actually...

tell me what you think about it :)

Edit: the service is down since someone is DOSing the service... I will quickly try to block them.

Hello folks,

I got my static IP and I am very happy now, I have been hosting a lot of services since I got the static IP, however I still have to host a fediverse service however it's not that easy to host any fediverse service, I tried to host GoToSocial but the devs said they don't support Podman and my server is podman only ( I tried installing docker but it was failing for some reason so I gave up and used podman instead of docker).

these are the services I am currently hosting ( basically all the easy services which you can host with just "docker compose up -d" :p ):

• Invidious: https://invidious.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/
• Qbittorrent ( web ui )
• TheLounge
• XMPP server: https://chat.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/

feel free to suggest some other cool services which I can host :D

Hello,

I have hosted azuracast in my minipc and I want to forward the IP of the song requester, right now it's only taking one IP the "podman container ip" so basically Azuracast thinks that every request is coming from the IP address 10.89.1.1 which is the IP of interface created by podman.

57: podman3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0e:fa:6d:33:b9:39 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.89.1.1/24 brd 10.89.1.255 scope global podman3
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::b876:abff:fede:c3ef/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

also I am explicitly forwarding the IP using X-Forwarded-Host.

reverse_proxy http://localhost:4000/ {
		header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}
	}

I don't know how to resolve it, any help would be appreciated :)

Edit: I didn't had to so any of this stuff, what I should have done is just enabling "reverse proxy" option in Azuracast since Caddy forwards those headers by default unlike nginx. Thank you very much for helping me <3

Hello,

It's been a while since I started finding Whatsapp alternative, I found IRC, XMPP, Signal etc, however the thing is that I can't convince other people to use Whatsapp, I can't say that "ohh it's bad for privacy" otherwise they will say "you are not a president, nobody cares about your messages". also I don't live in western country so I can't just say "I don't want to use Whatsapp" otherwise people will get mad saying "you are not a VIP, everyone uses whatsapp and you are not special".

however I found a way so that people won't blame me for not using Whatsapp, I have to somehow get banned from Whatsapp and then when people ask "why don't you use whatsapp" then I can say "ohh umm I don't know it stopped working, you can find me on Signal". that way people will be ready to install Signal to talk to me.

what are your thoughts? is it even possible to get perma banned from Whatsapp?

Greetings,

my current ISP refuses to provide me a static IP and they also blocks incoming connection to my ipv6 so I can't host services on just ipv6 too. I will be changing my ISP when the plan expires.

without public IP I can host my own IRC bouncer but I would like to know what else can I self host? Thanks in advance!
