I try things on the internet.

rarely, shit just works.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Ok, consider matrix which is federated e2e chat. There are a few instances but the “dominant one” is matrix.org, the public test instance setup by the matrix devs. You probably do not want to use this one unless you absolutely have to. The reason being is that the instance is so large that chats take a while to load and sync and there can be some downtime as the servers are overloaded lots.

You can instead run your own little instance with no sign ups, just you, and still chat to everyone on matrix.org as well as the other federated matrix instances. Bonus, when matrix.org goes down, you can still chat with users on your instance and other federated matrix instances instead of waiting for matrix.org, your chosen, “dominant” instance to come back online.

This is a mental trap folks get into. Centralized services suck and are antithetical to the web’s design.

Think of these federated instances like email and ask the same question: “which will be the dominant email service? Gmail? Fastmail? Aol? Protonmail?” The answer is you choose the one you want for the reasons you want, and don’t sweat it because it will likely communicate across the rest of the internet (unless blocked by spam filters).

Things to consider in an instance:

  • do I like the end result of my handle (e.g. [email protected] vs [email protected])?
  • does the instances values somewhat align with mine? I mean to say if you consider joining threads as your fediverse instance, you mind find less content or a worse interaction with content in general? If you join a right wing server as a leftist, you might find the only content you can access is content you don’t want to see, as other instances have blocked that instance…
  • think they will be around for a while? Think again! All of lemmy instances are run by volunteers. If you don’t mind instance hopping when one goes down, just pick one. Guessing which instance will have the resources to continue in years time isn’t something you’re going to get a good feel for years to come. Lemmy content isn’t going to easily monetized meaning likely most instances will need to rely on donations in some form to pay the datacenters who literally keep the lights on.

Sure… this was just said to simplify what is technically possible. Should you? No maybe not, for multiple reasons. Can you, technically? Yes absolutely. I don’t know what’s the limit but I know that if you have to ask here on lemmy, you might not be anywhere near that limit. Unless you are the go daddy.

Tl;dr: you can add millions of sites to a single IP if you want. Very common in commercial hosting as well.

Sure I guess my point is they fear the truth so much that they invented their own form of the truth.

+1 for nginx, although there has been some concern because nginx is developed by a group of russians though it is open source and appears to still be widely used. If this worries you, look into traefik.

Otherwise does your ProxMox setup run docker containers? If so you can use NginxProxyManager which has a web gui for configuring your virtual hosts.

At a high level what you need is this:

  • all domains routed to your host (or home if self hosting) IP.
  • that IP needs to have a reverse proxy server like traefik or nginx listening on port 80 and port 443 if you want ssl/tls.
  • your app servers which run lemmy, nextcloud, etc can be anywhere on your network where your reverse proxy can access. You’ll need to create vhosts for each. The server uses the Host header to determine which IP to reverse proxy to, eithe lemmy.moorefam.net or nextcloud.moorefam.net
  • the reverse proxy will get the content from lemmy or nextcloud and serve it via that IP and port.
  • ensure your home router is port forwarded on 80 (and 443 if you want ssl/tls) if you want to access these instances from the public internet but beware, you might want to add a firewall in-between if you aren’t confident in your router’s firewall.

The thing the right fears most is the truth.

Self promotion in order to be hired so that they can eat food and survive.

Edit: y’all don’t have jobs? I’m not saying it works, I am saying they do it to stay employed.

There can be many more than one, or are you forgetting about decentralization?

The browser stores the cookies, so if it is a system browser then the system browser stores the cookies even if embedded in the app. It also means that the app isn’t likely aware of those cookies as it’s part of a separate app.

Also, generally speaking, few developers want to build their own browser. It is far easier to just ask the OS to put a browser in a space provided by the app, than to build a browser that works well to be used on the greater internet and the actual app itself. I say this because “the browser stores the cookies” so if app xyz doesn’t use a system browser then app xyz is the browser. Like, any app can ask you for your reddit username and password, store that, make HTTP calls that login with your username and password, parse the HTML it gets from reddit, and report it back to you. This is essentially how lemmy apps work at a high level with one big difference: these apps and the server are both aware of each other, which is the same sort of situation where a company like google or reddit gives API access as a sort of contract between how the apps and servers with better security and full consent of all involved.

Basically if you see reddit apps pop up which don’t use the official API, you should be wary. Doubtful they would make it onto the app stores but it’s always possible. It doesn’t mean they are nefarious, just that they could be.

The good news is it’s pretty easy to tell what you are using.

Logged into example.com somewhere on your device, then you open a freshly installed app, click a link to example.com and you are already logged in? System browser.

Logged into example.com somewhere on your device, then you open a freshly installed app, click a link to example.com and you aren’t logged in? This could be another browser if you have more than one installed on your device. So the ask… does it look and function like shit? This isn’t a great test but again, building a browser that actually renders html css and js is difficult, so it’s likely to not work or look very well if it’s something built with the purpose of stealing data specifically.

Ok so if application xyz has a browser, assuming that browser isn’t just an embedded copy of a system browser (something that I am not sure is possible with android or ios development, i am just a web dev), it won’t know your reddit cookies unless you gave it. Or, more correctly, it may save your cookies for every site you visit, but that’s just normal browser behavior. If you visit reddit, your cookies are saved but if you didn’t login the cookies just identify you as a unique but otherwise unknown user. If you login, then your cookies are saved if you load up the in-app browser again and find that you are still logged into reddit.

The only time where you could expect to be logged into reddit already via an in-app browser which you didn’t log in with previously is if that in-app browser is just an embedded system web browser where you are logged in.

I don’t know but what I do know is without sending cookies, the server won’t know it’s you. If you login to reddit on the app, cookies are saved so you can login again the next time you load the app.
