Was it Yahtzee? Sounds like something he would come up with.

testman@lemmy.mlMto Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•Most promising "self-hosting for the masses" projects?2·1 year agoOther comments already pointed to some very good software solutions.
But I would argue that absolutely the biggest barrier to entry for the masses is hardware.
Restoring an old PC or making some cable spaghetti with some SBC is currently too advanced for average person.
Self-hosting for the masses would require some new form of home servers.
Something modular, where adding new components would be as easy as playing with Lego bricks.

testman@lemmy.mlto Technology@beehaw.org•Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 202410·1 year agoProblem is that the whole concept of advertising is “telling other people what to do”.
- People use Google.
- Google tells people to use Chrome
- Chrome becomes most popular browser
- Chrome removes the " this site has RSS" icon from URL bar
- People forget that RSS is a thing
- People now rely on Google News and other biased sites to get information
- biased sites tell people what to do
RSS is freedom
go tell other people to use it
also Lemmy RSS community

testman@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Predirect: A manifest v3 web extension with minimal permissions to automatically redirect popular sites to privacy friendly frontendsEnglish12·2 years agoso this is similar to LibRedirect?
https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
https://libredirect.github.io/
check out this list of privacy frontends and see if you can implement any of them in PredirectAlso, I see that you only handle one instance for redirect. Either the default instance or custom instance.
Consider implementing multiple instances. Here is list of instances that LibRedirect uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libredirect/instances/main/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benbusby/farside/master/services-full.jsonBoth LibRedirect and Farside still have to deal with the rate-limiting problem with Youtube and Reddit and I assume other sites as well. Invidious instance or Teddit instance can be rate-limited, resulting in video not playing or post not showing up.
If your extension does not distribute user traffic across multiple instances, then I assume that your chosen instances will get hammered into ratelimit even faster than other instances.
So consider thinking about solution for this.
One of suggestions that I like is to allow user to provide an URL to a list of instances.
That way, someone or some automated system can periodically compose a list of instances and users can “subscribe” to that list.Also some useful links:

testman@lemmy.mlOPMto Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•Something like BOINC but for hosting1·2 years agoI am aware of those two, but those are just for file storage. I was thinking something more general. Like having a Virtual Private Server, that people can extend with their donated resources. VPS can be used for more than just file storage. It can do processing as well.
gotta fail fast
YUNOHost iso is basically just Debian, but the one-click-install for various self-hosted things is it’s primary purpose. All done through web interface.
