If it is, it’s news to me. I co-owned an education data consultancy (before realizing there was no money in education) that used a .org; we were for-profit.

If you have Python Django or Flask experience, let me know. I’m hiring two positions.

AudiobookShelf does more than audiobooks. You can do epubs, etc.

I like self-hosting and it’s far too common for newer projects.

Don’t forget that when you join a server you may have to answer a bunch of stupid onboarding questions.

Big fan of SFTPGo. We use it at work - it’s rock solid and feature rich.

Hmm, that really doesn’t sound like a traffic pattern that would be confused with a DDoS attack. I would be frustrated as hell too.

What’s concerning is that our traffic would look very similar. We have a VPN dedicated droplet that allows access to our DO private network where the rest of our resources can be accessed. We also have high throughput periods though not as sustained as yours.

That’s really unfortunate. I love Digital Ocean and spend about $800/month with them for work.

Can you tell me more about the traffic they are mistakenly flagging as a DDOS? I ask because I have regular DB and file backups happening and if we had traffic shutdown on production assets for 3-4 hours, it would be a big fucking deal.

Humans rarely bite as a defensive option.

Tell that to fucking Kyle from Mrs. Ventura’s second grade class.

It’s not the percentage total but the speed of increase.

Agreed. Grab a T490S off eBay with an i5, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $225 and you’re all set.

These are great for the money. This one is out of stock, but there are plenty more.

Not only did discussion used to drive that site, but thriving niche communities. I hired a young-ish (~25) webdev recently and he asked where I heard about a certain topic. I told him reddit and he was genuinely confused. I sent him links to r/webdev, r/selfhosted, r/sysadmin, r/datahoarder, and a handful of other recommendations. His mind was blown that reddit not only had those communities, but how deep the content was.

My point is, reddit has really leaned into the lowest common denominator audience to chase growth and has completely abandoned its nerd roots (most evidently by its API policy changes).

They aren’t fully auth-gating the comments yet. You can view the first 5-8 top-level comments and 2-3 comments deep on each parent. Overall, I find myself spending probably 1/5 of the time on a thread that I used to.

youtube-dl is pretty much the gold standard for all things YouTube downloading.

For the uninitiated, as someone who’s looking to move from Windows to Linux and Ubuntu is probably my first choice, can you share what’s not to like about this?

Edit - insightful answers. Thank you

I modded a niche outdoor community sub and I banned every bot that found its way there. Sorry, but we don’t need a metric conversion bot nor a grammar correcting bot.
