There's a lot of people who shouldn't be anywhere near a computer trying to run websites IMO. See FurAffinity, Gab, Parler, etc.

It's basically in the first line, use literally anything else. The problem is people keep ignoring this like how they set their passwords to 123456.

So here's a reminder to anyone on the fedi; DIRECT MESSAGES ARE NOT PRIVATE! Never, ever, use the fedi chat as a private secure chat.

It's been commonly talked about about how fedi DMs are insecure because some admin on a power trip can easily get the SQL database (on either instance, mind you) if he has a grudge against you and leak them. So many shitty fedi instance operators are notorious for petty grudges.

However recently something else happened; an entire instance (Chudbuds.lol) just got hacked with the database leaked and DMs and everything posted. Even worse, the site got hacked via the owner being utterly inept with computers, you know the classic "click an .exe file and run some nicephoto.jpg.exe" trick people used back in the 00s that somehow big corporations have issues with. Of course that instance was a high profile target, being next to the "dramasphere" on the fediverse.

Now here's the thing; even if you didn't have an account on said instance, any message you sent via DM to a user of this instance got leaked as well.

It's vastly more secure to do any sort of chats offline with people, maybe just use DMs to share messenger IDs. There's Matrix, XMPP, or even Telegram or Discord (still less leak prone than fedi DMs) that exist and can be used to talk about something off site, away from admins. This is especially true if you're on or talking to a user from a high profile or notorious instance where the owner/some users have attracted the attention of raging shut-ins who will stop at nothing to take said instance down.

Don't get me started on if the datacenter is raided and the server is raided. I'm actually seeing people talk about using the fedi as a decentralized communications platform in Ukraine, which is a bad idea if someone else were to take the servers and dump the DB, let alone hackers.

Tl;dr fedi DMs are not secure and don't use them as such.

An insider I know said it best; it's just moving the wealth and profits from ExxonMobil and BP to Tesla and battery companies like BYD.

I can go further: comments broke all the way back with the G+ fiasco, G+ removed the ability to downvote comments, and ever since YT detached from G+ the new dislike comment button is as useless as the door close button on elevators: it does nothing.

So they've been broken for at least a decade now seemingly, and because video bandwidth is expensive nobody corporate will try, peertube hosting is expensive IIRC, and if your singular monolithic video site gets big well look what happened to BitChute. I wonder how that site is doing now...oh wait.

this is evil and I think I'd be better off unironically learning dos gamedev since it'd do more for a slick job for me.

yes.
I know @arcanicanis has talked about this too (he does the same thing, basement hosting), but there's several methods of setting up what's called a "reverse proxy". You kinda want to as well considering how many spastics love to DDoS these days.

  Novell Netware 3.11j (NEC PC-9801) with Fujitsu FM-R/Towns, AX, Toshiba, DOS/V and PS/55 clients
  
  Novell Netware 3.11j for the NEC PC-9801. Includes floppies for installing DOS/V, PS/55, AX, FM-R/FM Towns, and Toshiba J3100 NetWare clients as well. I haven't gotten this to work in NP21w yet and it seems to want a SCSI disk as opposed to IDE. However I've found from the XA13/16 restore CD and some Novell patch some newer SCSI drivers and IDE/PCI nic (for the onboard Intel nic in that era of 9821) drivers, these are on the extra hdm file with the drivers. I know the IDE driver works in NP21w.

MacOS does this, Windows opens it as a folder (it used to also do LZH files before some "security flaw" in the Japanese version), and Linux it depends on what file manager/etc you're using.
