Yay - able to visit a website without someone "verifying" the "status" of my computer!
The alternative is raw-dogging the internet like in the good ole days.
I think the problem is the good ole days didn't have LLM bots ready to spread propaganda at every turn :/
Honestly i really wish i could host things without relying on another party but how viable is that really?
I would host a lemmy instance like that if it where possible but one, i would be exposing my public ip if i did, and two, i don't think i can get a certificate for https like that.
If you're feeling brave you could always put something like fail2ban or crowdsec in front of your self hosted stuff.
Not free but there's https://bunny.net/cdn
Plenty of cheap vps providers with ddos protection though, just route trough one of those. As for a cdn, That's available from a bunch of providers in the eu
Also no alternative for YouTube. Guess no more YouTube for me.
the humble french made peertube:
Thanks for the tip. I’ve seen this one, but unfortunately they don’t have a tv App. I mostly watch on my tv/Apple tv(I know).

Just found a potentially viable business plan, then.
Yeah, there is Myra but they are 10k+ a month.
