Same way we do now. Plonk a box on it with sufficient power, cooling and connectivity.

https://www.mythic-beasts.com/ in the UK likely ticks almost all your boxes.

Personally I use Porkbun but they don’t support .at domains by the look of it.

Fuck off spam bot.

It spells Oracle.

Not going to lie, it’s kinda hilarious when this stuff happens.

Swiparr Media Streaming Tinder-like experience for finding Jellyfin media to watch with friends

Ok I get the need but why tinder-like? Guess Who would be a fun choice.

You can install nginx onto a bare metal server and run it that way.
Check the nginx docs for the specific distribution family you are using

Same.

Not to sound snarky but did you follow the instruction in the error message?

Learn Linux TV on YouTube has an awesome series on it.

Ansible is not old-school. Shame on the person telling you that.

Macos doesn’t solve the ownership or customisation of OS problem that windows also has.

Mint does. Don’t like how macos does something? Too bad.
Don’t like how mint does something? Someone likely already has a package to fix it.

I still reference my Cisco Press CCIE routing TCP/IP volume 1 and 2 from 2005

Honestly, Cisco still is king for this. Look for some CCNA training courses to get a proper education on networking. Just get the material, don’t worry about the exam.

YouTube, CBT Nuggets, and INE all have plenty of courses.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with tor/i2p having their own fediverse. Just it becomes as fresh as dreaddit (pretty sure I spelt that wrong).

Yes, the problem is how does a clearnet instance send you content to your equivalent of an onion address?

None of those speak to the reliability of iptables. They all sound like skill issues.

In 15 years of network engineering iptables has been the simplest part.

A layered approach with hardware firewalls is valid but when those firewalls get popped, looking at you Cisco, Fortinet, and PA you still want host level restrictions.
Your firewall or switch should never be used as a jump host to servers

iptables and firewalld are not reliable

Can you give examples of that?

Seeing as most root CA are stored offline compromising a server turned off is not really possible.

I’m more annoyed that I have 10 year old gear that doesn’t have automation for this.
