Well...if you edit your post after someone has replied to it at least specify what's you've edited and don't pretend that the answer that somebody else has already given you wasn't about your non edited post!
If you (my mistake) wrote VPS instead of VPN, you can't pretend that I've answered about VPN!
If you can convince your family member and your friends to use a VPN to use your service, that's good for you, and I mean it!
But saying that it's quite impossible to do that, I think that I'm speaking for 99% of the self hoster (is this correct in English? Bah, you got me!)

If for whatever reason your firewall is down, there’s unrestricted access to your server…

I don't know what kind of firewall you use, but if my firewall is down there is NO traffic at all passing through!

And by the way, since I've replied to someone that don't want to use VPN because he doesn't want to give access to the whole network, I meant that he could use a VPN AND iptables to restrict the guest access to single services instead of the whole network.

Again, this is the reason VPS’ exist.

What? What's the difference between a VPS and your home server? You may say that's a good practice to separate things, so maybe have a a VM with public facing services and another with more private stuff reachable only with a VPN. But for something like Nextcloud, it needs to be public (if you're not the only one using it), but it contains personal stuff and then comes the OP request!

You're right! I've seen the offer and usually they're just for the first piece, but for that item there are no limits.

ChatGPT summary:
The podcast episode "Byebye Raspberry Pi" discusses the evolving role of Raspberry Pi devices in 2025. The host evaluates self-hosting options, the growing appeal of thin clients over Raspberry Pi due to cost and performance, and the use of containers for flexible testing environments. They also touch on repurposing older hardware and share personal experiences with self-hosting and audio editing. The episode covers modern alternatives to Raspberry Pi, such as x86 computers, and invites audience feedback on their use of devices for hosting services. The discussion includes tips on managing disk space and remote access with WireGuard.

Just out of curiosity, why do you disconnect from your home VPN?

For that, you can restrict access to a single service with iptables.

Well, the price is 16€. I don't know when the promotion apply

With Wireguard there's really no reason.

Well, that's kinda of a personal choice. If somebody needs to have services accessible by someone else besides him, that service can't be behind a VPN (let's face the truth: we know that we can't ask all out relatives and friends to use a VPN).

Oh, I really didn't know that. Thanks

No no, what I meant is that if I connect to your server without the certificate installed don't I just get the warning and I can still get through?

Beside the fact that you would like to understand if you've done everything properly (that's good, but I can't help you here), a VPN on a smartphone can be always active. Mine is always on and I've never noticed any battery problem. If you prefer something simpler there's Tailscale.

I don't know much about certificates, but doesn't that just alert the browser that the certificate is not trusted and you can decide if keep going or not?

I love ZigBee sensors basically because they can run years with a coin battery, and I don't dislike WiFi devices that are connected to the power, I just put them in a VLAN with no Internet access.

imho “free speach” is a typo, and one often made by people with the funny idea that free speech means any form of content moderation is a violation of their rights 😏

This says it all! Bye

I believe in free speech too, and I think moderated spaces for discussion help enable it. (Think about this…)

I don't see any misinformation on the deleted messages, if you can see in the ones that I've screenshotted, please tell me which one.

There are however unambiguously factually incorrect assertions in some of the offtopic messages I removed from that thread.

Again, please tell me what is offtopic. Is offtopic asking why FUTO is bad in a post where someone suggested a FUTO keyboard? If so, then a message like this one

you generally don’t need an AV on android, unless you do really shady downloads. only download from fdroid, google play, github, apkmirror, and maybe some mod apk websites, the more known ones

should be remove, and so this one:

Yeah jail everyone doing piracy too (they also might do that lmao) im reporting every republican I know using an illegal firestick,ill make california blue

But the world is not only black and white (every single message MUST have an open source software in it), but its a shades of all colors!

IMHO free speach speech is let people write what they think, moderate misinformation only when there already is no clarification from others so that it's clear to everyone that a message is misinformation.

But Arthur, you're a moderator of your server where you make the rules. I now understand what others were saying about your instance and I'll just leave it. All the best!

Edit: typo

Every time Futo comes up, someone will insist it is open source, others will correct them, and soon more than 50% of a thread that is supposed to be about open source is people arguing about them.

In the removed posts that you can see in the screenshots I don't see anything you say.

Probably more than that even; more than I want to count. The modlog is public.

When I wrote the post, there were no trace of those messages in the modlog (or I've missed them, I'm not that into Lemmy, I admit that)

The What’s the best open source keyboard for android? post where you commented has not been locked

My bad, I must have confused them, sorry.

I generally try to assume good faith but I’m pretty sure some Futo proponents are actually just trolling at this point.

As stated above, I don't see any trolling in the comments scrreenshotted (and deleted). But over that, I think that deleting those messages is censorship. I still believe in free speech and I can't see any hate or misinformation in those messages.

Note that while your comment was not advocating for futo per se, it was (successfully) encouraging others to continue the offtopic discussion. You could have answered your question by reading the modlog.

It was a chit chat, what's wrong with that? It feels like school were you had to just pay attention to what the professor was saying and woe betide anyone who turns their head.

The hope is that someday .world will finish what it started and defed from the last remaining on the Tankie Triad,

Well, maybe another instance. The more populated instance, the better. Federation is here to avoid centralization, no?

I didn't know, I'm mainly active on lemmy.world. How can that instance have so much traction?

I don't know, it's the first time that I see such a behavior.
