Courant d'air 🍃

I think this question has been raised a few times here and I’m not aware of any “guide for dummies”.

Self-hosting is a wide topic and most of the knowledge is spread across the internet. I’d recommend going to communities like the one you just posted on, reading wikis and learning how to efficiently find information on the web. Most of the knowledge I accumulated over the years come from so many different places so I can’t think of a centralized knowledge base.

If you really want to have a handbook you can refer to you’ll have to write it yourself with your experience about your specific setup and environment.

Bothers me as well, time to contribute and open an issue! I’ve never installed WLED so I won’t be able to describe where this setting is and give more information but I invite you or OP to do it

Restaurants playing radio are the worst… Once you’re at your table and you realize you will hear ads the whole time it’s already too late

Good read, I think the practical example of enshittification makes it easier to understand.

I do run Piped locally for my family’s use, it seems that it works better than public instances but I haven’t really measured to what extent (except for ping, which is obviously excellent at 4ms).

I would say that the problem with self-hosting for private use is limited privacy, as the benefits of grouping multiple users behind the same proxy are lost. I try to mitigate this by routing all piped traffic through a VPN though.
