I imagine the types of actions you’ll do is similar to what can be seen in sh.itjust.works/modlog . It’ll be less work in the beginning when you have only a few users, but no one’s gonna blame you if you stop. Well maybe you’d want to pass the torch to someone first.
It’s a while since I’ve wild camped so not sure if the status has changed. When I did it was more ‘accepted’ than ‘permitted’. Also, the good spots are closely guarded secrets, so you’re mostly on your own there! I don’t know you’re experience, but for anyone else thinking about wild camping: You want water relatively accessible and depending on the weather, some shelter. (I’ve always drunk from fast flowing streams, never pools and survived without treating the water. You also want seclusion as you really don’t want to be getting any attention from walkers or land owners.
This time of year you won’t be getting much sleep, so decide if you want the evening or morning sun - I prefer the morning sun as it dries any dew off my kit. Looking at the map you should be able to plan a route and spot some quite nice spots if you think about the above. Only spend one night in a location.
I used to leave work early, drive down, get half a walk in, a night camp, finish the walk and be back to work for 9AM. One memorable morning was waking up on top of one of the Carnedds.
My preference was always to bivvi rather than tent as it was easier to carry and far easier to find a hidden spot. - The pleasure, as with most bivvying is generally retrospecive, but great fun. Pitch up at dusk and leave at first light, leave no trace bar some flattened grass and all is good. - Just make sure you pack enough calories and water.
The first wild camp I ever did was on the side of Tryfan in just my sleeping bag on a clump of heather. It would had been perfect if I hadn’t put my hand in goat muck earlier in the evening. - Took two days to wash the stink out.
We’re planning to make a little camp somewhere hiddin in a woodland hopefully, and do some walks from there, but not too much walking. Good point about the sleep… I had forgotten that.
Can’t access it now because the subreddit is private, but I remember that IVPN and AirVPN are recommended. I think ProtonVPN is too, but the port forwarding might be a bit of a hassle depending on your OS. CryptoStorm used to be recommended, but was removed because of “lack of recent activity”, whatever the hell that means.
What kind of stories did you submit? I spent way too much time on BestofRedditorUpdates and at least half of the time you spend realizing stories are fake. I’m wondering if I read any of yours
IF you ever wanna totally come clean, you should share which stories specifically you shared. I’m curious to see if people caught on they were fake or not and how
Oh jeez… there’s quite the list. I have a Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 15x HDD’s and 3 SSD’s… on that cluster I run some VM’s that in turn run a Docker swarm. All Ubuntu 22.04, all commodity hardware. Currently I’m running;
Portainer to help manage this beast
NGINX which proxies all my web facing services on multiple websites.
Wordpress for my personal site which sync my Instagram pictures to it as well
MariaDB Galera cluster
Nextcloud for file sharing but also provides lots of plugin services like a password manager, email client and so on
Photoprism for my photos… I use the Nextcloud client to automatically upload new pics from my phone to Nextcloud then Photoprism is attached to that same library
OnlyOffice as a plugin to Nextcloud to allow O365-like functionality
ElasticSearch plugged into Nextcloud for full-text searching
OpenProject for project management in my own businesses
Jellyfin and Plex both attached to the same media library
E-Mail using Docker-Mailserver… so Postfix with a bunch of ancillary tools for 3 domains
Droppy as a quick-and-dirty file repo for when I need to get files to people easily
FreePBX (Asterisk) with 4 extensions around the house
MeshCentral for managing my family’s PC’s and also doing remote tech support for family, friends and customers as necessary
FOGProject for imaging PC’s and VM’s as necessary
ReactiveResume
Docker Registry set up as a caching proxy
YoutubeDL-Material
Karaoke Eternal for those nights when you just get drunk enough to karaoke
Then there’s a whole host of ancillary services; BackupPC, Unifi controller container, piHole on a couple of Raspberry Pi’s, ts-dnsserver for internal DNS management… probably a dozen other containers and tools I’m forgetting.
No, that’s what I’m using. Thankfully it works fine and I don’t worry too much about security because I just leave it turned off until I need it. The “/droppy” url directs to it but if it’s off then it just throws an error back.
Script kiddies these days got really fast. Configured a new subdomain, started droppy, within a couple seconds, all types of requests were visible in the log.
Lidarr to dl and plex/plexamp for listening. No issues so far. Haven’t got to use sonic analysis yet but it’s interesting that you could choose 2 songs and it will use sonic analysis to make a Playlist bridging between the two.
I’m glad you’re coming clean. I kinda hope that you go back and delete the fake stories, or at least make clear they’re works of fiction.
Why?
Because people are stupid. They hear an urban legend about a psycopath putting razor blades in apples and all of a sudden no one can have anything but individually wrapped candy during halloween. People overemphasize anectodes to establish political views or actually make policy changes. Academics troll reddit for evidence to support theories. And “news” “reporters” pull stuff from Reddit and report it, often as fact. If it implicates criminal activity or child abuse, that might cause authorities to get involved needlessly.
Maybe your stories aren’t such that they would impact policies, or change political views, or impact lives. I’m sure some of it is just harmless fun (though, when I’d participate in forums like AITA with fake posts, it sure did annoyme), and to some extent, people should be smarter about responding to shitposts. “Throwaway because my friends know my main account” should be a big, red flag. And I’m glad you got to work on your writing skill and voice. I hope you can use it productively in the future, and I wish you the best of luck. (But think about deleting or editing your posts!)
I would rather waste a week setting something up to find I don’t like it, then paying some company to give me some ad riddled thing that phones home every few minutes and being stuck with it for a month, then the nonstop emails after I’ve cancelled and my information being sold to who knows who.
That’s pretty much exactly what I have done. I’ve hosted Plex, and Matrix in the past. Plex I will host in the future but Matrix was too much for me to host on my own, but the experience of setting it up myself was definitely worth it.
