Basically this. I'd just buy a used disk, swap them out and install Linux. That or use a USB.

When it comes time to return it, put the old hard drive in it and return it. I can't think of a way for them to tell you did this aside from the lack of logs they keep from trying to track you.

This is all you need. It'll return your IP in a curl/wget/browser

  location / {
    add_header Content-Type text/html;                             
    return 200 '$remote_addr';
  }

So what should I use instead? Nothing?

I guess maybe docker does isolation so I could run all my apps in there.

Yeah, app cache had to be cleared. We good

I don't mind the old kernel, packages, etc. However, one of my biggest problems with debain so far is that SELinux isn't installed by default..... I've installed and enabled it but it doesn't seem to let me SSH in. I'm still troubleshooting but its annoying to have to fight with it.

I'd love to continue to use Fedora but I have no faith in RedHat. They don't give a shit about their community anymore, including Fedora, so I believe its just a matter of time before that's dead too.

I hate this so much. Its super cool but MAN what the hell. I don't think I'm going to ever turn off my VPN anymore. I'm in a super small town and that image is correct.

It's cached somewhere because I can't get it to update. Maybe time for a new account too. Hmmmm

This was my thought exactly. Work is a RHEL shop and I had settled on Fedora after distro hopping. Ubuntu was for the new guys getting into Linux.

My self hosted services were all CentOS and more recently Rocky/Alma. After the shenanigans RH pulled to make their source harder to obtain, I'm working through my personal ansible scripts to get up on Debain. I'll never go back to RHEL or the forks.

This was basically me. Looked around for an app I liked, couldn't find one for Lemmy but there was an okay-ish open source one for reddit. Used that for awhile but kept an eye on Lemmy.

My only issue now is that i want to ignore an couple instances (lemmynsfw, and the like) but I can't.... Can I? There isn't enough content in "subscribed new" and find I'm going to "all new" but there's too much NSFW... Maybe I'm on here too much.

Try the VPN IP of your other box instead of the FQDN? I use tailscale+headscale to exit onto my home network from mobile.

I had no idea that two hosts using the same VPN provider would/could be on the same network... I share an account with like 4 other people and we each get one device. Now I have to go look.

You can also just self host this also by adding a line in your Nginx config to return the client IP var. I have ip.domain.ca and curl that. On mobile now but if anyone is interested I'll post my config later.

For me, Its the call forwarding option. My Cell provider has a special number in there for unanswered calls. If you forward that to a number that isn't real all unanswered (and blocked calls) will get a 'this number does not exist" message.

Be careful with this because real callers and people you know will get the message if you don't answer.
