You could use an IPv6 tunnel broker service. I know Hurricane Electric offers a service free of charge. I use it and it's not bad. Hurricane Electric also has an IPv6 tutorial. See (https://www.he.net)

This is my thought. It's about time greater adoption of IPv6 happens. As much as I don't like corporations getting greedier, in this case however, Amazon is doing us a favor by spurring IPv6 adoption on.

Scrivener is a fantastic tool! It's a shame that it will likely not be open sourced but I will give the devil its due credit. Scrivener is brilliant for authorship.

Bookstack is an excellent tool. Was it originally conceived for authors? I've only used it as a knowledge management system. In fact, I stood up a Bookstack instance at work to document procedures for my fellow desktop support engineers.

I do the very thing that you are seeking to do. I have a free Oracle Cloud VM running nginx as a reverse proxy. Between the reverse proxy and my home server is a WireGuard tunnel. There are some benefits in that ports do not need to be opened on your home network's firewall so you don't have to do any port forwarding. If you want to go this route, the advice I have for you is to get a free Oracle cloud VPS, install NGINX Proxy Manager on it, and configure a WireGuard tunnel between it and the actual server that the service you want to provide resides on. NGINX Proxy Manager is actually not hard to get going and there are plenty of YouTube videos on it. In fact, for people new to self-hosting I really recommend NGINX Proxy Manager as I started out that way. NGINX Proxy Manager has a well designed GUI. In fact it is so well designed that most of the options are self-explanatory.

As I learned nginx and became better with it, I decided to decommission NPM in favor of a pure nginx environment because I am actually faster on the command line than a GUI. The hardest part for me was getting the WireGuard tunnel built between my home server and my cloud VM. That more pointed out to the fact that I didn't have a good grasp of how firewalld works and firewalld is used in Alma Linux which is on my cloud VM. That was the real challenge.

I get where she's coming from because burnout can be a real thing. I hope Alice gets rest and respite.

It seems they do. I just discovered this myself. Fuck all this goddamned hatred. I'm sick to hell of it.

I like Akkoma. It offers more features than Mastadon and its devs aren't tankies like Pleroma.

There is that issue as well! I forgot about bandwidth.

Yeah, I dont think it's a problem of lack of interest but one of resources. You literally need in the 100s of terabytes of storage space, especially for HD videos.

Ostensibly you subscribed to some technology communities. The fediverse tends to attract a lot of IT professionals and hobbyists of which I am both. We tend to want to keep abreast of the latest technologies and trends.
