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!

Hello folks,

I am finding a good static site generator which works on windows 10. I tried hugo which I found too complicated and then tried jekyll which required me to install ruby to run it so I gave up on that too.

is there any other static site generator besides those?

Edit: I found pandoc, it's really good. I can just write posts in Markdown and it will convert it to valid HTML :D

here is my website: https://www.ghodawalaaman.xyz/

Hello,

I am trying to make an anonymous chat website like Omegle. I only know Spring Boot and Thymeleaf which means I have to utilize SSR.

Has anyone made a web app using only SSR? Is it even possible?

Hello folks,

I made a very basic game named 2dBallAnimation, it's using basic vector math in order to make the Animation happen.

there is only 3 classes in the entire app:

• MainActivity.java : it gets executed when the app start
• DefaultScreenView.java : it's responsible to make the animation work by doing vector math
• V2.java : contains the x,y values of a vector and methods for vector addition, subtraction, multiplication, normalization etc..

are you Android dev or Java dev? share your thoughts about the app? feel free to give me some suggestion too.

( 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 know that we can call using termux-api, ( termux-telephony-call command) but I want to also just sent out a voice message using termux. so basically I want to have termux just send me some pre recorded voices over call.

Thanks in advance!

Hello folks,

I was wondering if I should open my secondary number for public use, what I mean is that anyone could use my number for temporary SMS to make a burner account or for some privacy reasons. I know that there are tons of services out there which provides a temp SMS however most of those numbers are blocked by all the big tech like G**gle, Micrsft etc, my number is new so it will take some time before they ban it as well.

I have a concern though, what will happen if someone tries to use my number for malicious purposes ( is it even possible that someone could use it in a way that will put me in trouble? ). that mobile number is going expire in 6 months anyway, so I guess it's not an issue.

what do you say? your thoughts?

Hello folks,

TIL that how can you bootstrap my DHT nodes before downloading a torrent.

Find a good famous software from fosstorrent and seed it for some while and then when you seed it for some time, your DHT count will be increased. now you can easily download a torrent by just providing the hash of the torrent ( assuming some DHT node knows where the file of the given hash is ).

hope you learned something new today, if you have a good idea than this feel free to add it in the comment section :)

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,

I have hosted my own XMPP account and it's really fun, hosting an XMPP server is way easier than hosting an XMPP server which is not a good experience. I also find a lot of public servers of my interest, I guess I will be leaving IRC in favour of XMPP server :)
