Does adding 127.0.0.1 make it so only that server can access it or what? I’ve seen that but not understand

Good advice!

because discussing such projects in self hosting is fun and why we are here. I wanted to hear what others thought. Ie we are in a forum.

Seems you got more out of the horrible link than me :) It is bad.

Having been to many a Chinese Internet cafe 网吧 in China and Japan, they have all run windows. I think steam keeps getting blocked or something by the gov as well. You’re right that piracy is very commonplace in China too. I bet it’s a decrease on steam use not windows.

Still, what a weird way to say less Chinese users. Also simplified Chinese is a written language, why don’t they just say mainland Chinese?

This is only true if you only play games with anti cheat at the kernel level

Is this some coded way of saying less Chinese users? What does simplified Chinese dropping even mean?

I searched and searched about this and every response of theirs I found gave the same speech about IMAP not being as safe as their apps.

How has that been going?

Yes, already have. It seems they don’t care.

Well, I am asking also security wise. I know most schools snoop. Can they somehow see traffic through ssh or VPN? Or just the protocols, logs, dates, etc

It is my own device, but yes utilities and security is their own.

I have a server in my school office. I currently only use it to backup important files. I am asking if running public or private containers on it would be safe and acceptable.

Great point about IoT

My understanding is that scrappers check every domain and subdomain. You’re making it harder but not impossible. Everything gets scrapped

It would be better if you also did IP whitelisting, rate limiting to prevent bots, bot detection via cloudflare or something similar, etc.

I was auto banning all countries but my own but now I’m hosting one resource that has an audience including Chinese…

Good advice outside of this use case! :)

Anything else?

Thanks!

Mailbox.org is a commonly recommended service beside Tuta and Proton. I was going to switch from Proton to Tuta to have more custom domain emails but it doesn’t allow service outside of its apps. Mailbox.org is cheaper and allows 50 custom domains :)

That’s not how web scrappers work lol. No such thing as obscurity except for humans

I quickly quit them because they don’t do IMAP for “security” reasons, ie walled garden, and their support requires you paying. After canceling my membership I literally couldn’t contact support unless I paid again.

Thanks! What’s a proton simple login? In this use case could I use my name.com domain? I think mailbox can do this!
