Why would i need my own server?

so you can larp as a sysadmin instead of saying that you're a neet

so you can serve yourself???

>>105784950
Ok, fair enough, and what can i do with this server? Host mail? A minecrap server?

>>105784942 (OP)
so you can host some cool service you made until your ISP finds out and then brings out the banhammer.

>>105784942 (OP)
i'm all for being jewish with your money but this is just too brown for me

>>105784979
pretty much

>>105786288
I would reply with fuck you I am changing ISPs

>>105784942 (OP)
>Why would i need my own server?
when you don't want to rely on other peoples'/companies' hosting services

>and what can i do with this server?
host a personal website or blog
host a file server (like "cloud storage" but you own the hardware your data is stored on)

>Host mail?
impractical, anything you send will get filtered by everyone elses' anti-spam filters

>A minecrap server?
or any other game that has a dedicated server mode

>>105784955
>masturbation

>>105784942 (OP)
To host for your friends and the public

>>105786934
Why not just spend a few bucks a month with a cloud platform for a basic compute instance? Shit, Oracle gives away free ARM instances.

>>105784942 (OP)
To own everything and be happy.

>>105784942 (OP)
just get google cloud nerd

>>105786288
LOL what 3rd world shithole is this in?

>>105787979
Australia

>>105784942 (OP)
To access your personal stuff when you're outside the house.

File sharing
Media center
Contacts
Calendar

Or host stuff for others, like a game server.
Or seed torrents.

>>105787986
Oh, I was expecting USA for some reason.

>>105788007
we are on a whole another level here

>>105786307

>ISP struggles to supply 1mbps upload
>they bitch at you for using that
Type of shit that makes me want to skin everyone alive involved in sustaining this non-sense in minecraft

It doesn't make sense

>>105788577
>in minecraft
wut

to host a jellyfin server and also setup a vpn on your router so you can access your own streaming service from anywhere, per instance

>>105788011
The thing that really fucking shits me about the internet here is that even when we got fiber it was asymmetrical for no fucking reason other than greed.

>>105788577
bro you gotta change games now, the jurys know what in minecraft means

>>105787002
>Oracle gives away free ARM instances.
Also randomly deletes it with no warning

>>105784942 (OP)
>what appears to be an er605 router
i had one for 3 years and eventually switched to a fortinet fortigate 60f. It can do crazy shit like act as a credential server and redirect inbound traffic to different internal resources based on the login credentials that were used

It's fun

>>105788007
American ISPs don't give a fuck how much you download and don't even send piracy emails anymore because they know you'll just switch to a competitor. I've been downloading & uploading TBs of illegal shit every month for 20 years at this point, never once got a bad email or letter from the ISP.

>>105793050
My service provider turned off my ability to make international phone calls, but they brought the signal back after a week or something.
Like with money, only risk things you can afford to lose.

>>105787002
>Shit, Oracle gives away free ARM instances.
because nobody is interested in ARM ?
> cloud
any VPS running whatever version of linux will do.

>>105784942 (OP)
to run services
I got tired of having to do everything manually
>>105784950
also this

>>105793235
>Sir, did you KNOW you have been speaking to foreigners in what are, to us incredible, amounts?
ah, die liebe Telekom. Bring back state monopolies.

What's so hard about hacking your neighbours routers and offloading some of the traffic through that?

>>105786274
you can tell it was made by someone in brazil

All my neighbors have the same ISP supplied Huawei modem/router combo I have. I know what the default passwords are like and it's reasonably secure against brute forcing. I tried cracking some of their WPA handshakes using a multi GPU setup I have access to just hoping to get lucky and I didn't even after waiting for days. When I lived in the US Spectrum was the only serious ISP there. Their modem/router combos default passwords could be easily broken with a dictionary attack. I sent the handshakes to friends that had GPUs and they broke them with hashcat in no more than 5 minutes. I then had some complicated setup using a raspberry pi to connect one of my neighbor's wifi to my home router to use it as my own home connection.

I’m learning a lot about networking making my own home server, although dealing with reverse proxies and SSL is making me want to seriously reconsider this project.

>>105795904
I've been doing it for years and it's easier than ever to be lazy about it. I know how to write my own nginx config but these days I just look for one tailored to the application I'm proxying then ask a LLM to rewrite it based on my needs. SSL is dead simple because of certbot. Just don't make retarded choices that expose things in an insecure way.

>>105784950
>if you write any code at home you larp as a programmer instead of being a neet therefore its bad
Retard

If you write any code at home instead of stealing it from the internet then you're fucking retarded

>>105796205
The days of the stackoverflow copy paste job are dead because of AI. I'll still make my own if I want it done right.

>>105786288
reminder that there's no "network resources" it's just them turning on and off your ability to access the net, there's no resource being drained or service being provided apart from issuing you an IP. If you're smart you can just connect directly to the line without using an ISP.

>>105796424
That's not entirely true. Not that I agree with ISPs trying to shake down heavy users. Like for instance my ISP uses GPON. This means there is 1 single gbit shared between all users connected to the same box on the same pole as me. My speed is 800mbit. I can basically cuck everyone else by downloading at max speeds 24/7. My ISP isn't going to stop me from doing this though. I also don't actually need to do that. I highly suspect most of my neighbors don't have a higher speed plan like I have. Beyond that there's the providers they source bandwidth from. They only get so much from them. It's always increasing as they grow but they're also taking on more customers further taxing those resources.

I've got an Intel NUC 12 i7, which I've been thinking about turning into a virtualisation node. Are there any cool home services I can run?

Right now all I have is my consumer router, plus two Raspberry Pis (one sharing an external HDD, the other on Pihole duty).

>>105793050
Same here in Portugal.
I've been pirating shit for 24 years and seeding torrents for 20 or so and never got a letter.
Some ISPs used to do it tho, but not mine.

>>105797792
At least in the US, the RIAA & MPAA used to go after people. They got embarrassed so many times, including going after an elderly woman who has never had a computer or the internet in her life, that they just stopped doing it. Sometimes public humiliation of epic proportions is the best way to get things changed.

>>105797895
This isn't true. They are legally required to send out the letters. See the Cox lawsuit.

>>105797970
Never gotten an email or letter before. Again, the MPAA did try to sue an elderly woman who didn't even own a computer, yet somehow magically pirated movies. This was before smartphones BTW.

>>105798015
When I lived in the US I never got any letters because I only used private trackers. One of my friends got one for downloading Phantasy Star Online.
