I don’t have a big problem with CloudFlare (and use their service myself for some things). But so much of the internet infrastructure is already consolidated with them. There are so many good options for domain registrars. Let’s spread things around a bit.
Hover.com is my favorite. Good prices and no shenanigans.
I’ve tried dozens of clients and Arpegi is my favourite. I’ve been using it for a year.
for personal use
A key part of his argument is that these laws should be repealed so that small companies could legally develop hacks and alternatives. For example a startup could develop (and support) an alternative firmware for John Deere tractors, which they sell to independent tractor repair shops around the world, creating more competition, more options, and cheaper/better services to end users. The “for personal use” version of that is fine for us hobbyists, but prevents similar freedoms from being accessible to regular people.
Borg is a solid choice, but over the last couple years I’ve transitioned to Restic which prefer slightly. It seems a lot faster, has better usability/ergonomics, and easier to configure a write-only setup (so your server can write snapshots, but is incapable of deleting and such).
What if you rent a bare metal server in a data center? Or rent a VPS from a basic provider that expects you to do your own firewalling? Or run your home lab docker host on the same vlan as other less trusted hosts?
It would be nice if there was a reliable way to run a firewall on the same host that’s running docker.
You may say these are obscure use cases and that they are Wrong and Bad. Maybe you’re right, but personally I think it’s an unfortunate gap in expected functionality, if for no other reason than defense-in-depth.
Thanks for your comments! I’ve fixed the RSS file now I think.
Arpeggi on iOS is the best I’ve found. Available via TestFlight invite only. I plan to switch to Android in the next year, so I’m always interested to hear what clients people like over there too.
I use Navidrome and highly recommend it. Nice Canadian developer.
I also use GitLab.
One option is for you to mirror Navidrome on GitLab. I will happily use your mirror instead of GitHub.
Another option is to reach out to the Navidrome dev and propose moving to GitLab. If you open an issue to that effect, I would add a comment with my support.
OpenProject is what you’re looking for.
