Do you mean Calibre?

Self hosting is fine, assuming you have sane policies in place. Policies like “don’t play in prod” and “don’t let the intern touch prod.” 🤪

It has interesting uses but I agree it’s more than a teeny bit dangerous. https://getamp.sh/ uses it to simplify the install command.

I mean… it’s not wrong.

The data does get pulled, but only if it is “old.” If you just pulled 0.5 seconds ago, you don’t even need to check.

While this works for most things, you will run into issues with certain software which automatically assume that no TLD means the provided address is incorrect.

*.internal.domain.name since ssl certs are easier to get when you’re using an owned domain name.

Is a Dynamic DNS not an option for you? Most residential plans keep their IP for months if not years, only really changing if the model drops for long periods of time.

It’s not as detectable as you think. One of the major things most VPS companies tout, is that the data is fully encrypted and private. So they aren’t scanning the files, or the running processes, or anything else about what is being done with the server.

So unless something external to the company is provided, which acts as proof, they won’t shut things down.

CP is the second reason the name is terrible. “Let me connect to your CP server” is going to get so many people onto so many lists, unless they specify CP == CrackPipe.

There are just some names and abbreviations you do not use. And this is both of those.

For god sakes, change the damn name.

If your data is replaceable, there’s not much point unless it’s a long wait or high cost to get it back. It’s why I don’t have many backups.

Second vote for AMP here!

Yes. Just keep in mind that will likely break licensing for virtually any game you’ve legally purchased.

Apart from the fact that Windows is still the number one gaming OS… sure.

Often, sure. But not guaranteed.

Haha, happened to my original account as well actually. lemme.ml must have had a rollback soon after I created my account last month, because it was gone when I tried to log in a week or so ago. So I get your point.

Unless I am mistaken, when the instance you sign up with dies, so does your account? Obviously your content and potentially profile will exist in some state, but you would no longer be able to authenticate, so for all intents and purposes your account is gone.

While that won’t matter for some, for others that means there is some importance in the decision of where you create your account. Since, once that instance decides to shut down (or if it happens to defederate,) your account goes with it.
