Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Yes, I totally understand that. It seemed suspicious to me because it had never happened to me before. (I have bookmarked a few articles about this 'Round Robin to read this evening) Like I said, This check gets done every morning, and has been a 'ritual' for years, and I have had the same VPN provider for years. So, that is what triggered my anxiety. I appreciate what everyone else has said, and I bow to greater knowledge bases than I possess. At the very least, TIL. So it's been a good day 'tater.
Fair enough.
I see your posts and comments regularly in self-hosted, keep it up. Staying engaged is learning.
The issue is that I know what I know, and that's it. LOL I've had a computer in front of me since the mid 70s, but don't equate longevity with knowledge. I am self taught in most everything I do whether in real life or digital life. So when something pops up that's different to your regularly scheduled program, it cause anxiety. Since I am not a real IT professional, solving the issue can sometimes be tedious.
I am, however, a bit sensitive to the word 'paranoia'. It's not paranoia to check yourself before you start the day. It takes less than thirty seconds to validate dns leak checks while I'm sipping my coffee. Also, if it wasn't a habit every morning to check, I probably would have been clueless to the situation. It could have been leaking and I would have never known it.
's-aright. I appreciate greatly, everyone's willingness to help and give their input. No harm - no foul.
