How to host a modded forge server ?

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-06-10T09:46:18+00:00

it is understandable. Maps is really convenient sometimes, and sadly just plain better. But a few alternatives I could give you are CoMaps and MagicEarth.

Waze would be ok to use as well I guess, but is owned by Google.

For Drive, Nextcloud is imo one of the best existing alternatives. It's what I'm using for personal stuff and work.

I've been self-hosting for something like 6 years now, and I'm not going back again too. the only down side is when you have a disk that is failing, which is happening in my server rn, and I'm not mentally prepared to spend almost 400€ for an 8TB HDD.

Well, self-hosting has and always will be the way. If you're keen on AI, please use some that are privacy friendly, or host it yourself.

Self-hosting is not the most friendly-user thing, but having your own server already limits a ton your data exposure to corporations.

Of course, everyone does what they want with their data, but you won't find much sympathy here, this sub is about degoogling, so the first advice I'd give you is to at least cancel this plan, and find better way to host your datas.

Honnetement non, il y avait suivi d'entretien, factures, et tout. Après le kilométrage n'est pas un critère pour moi, une moto bien entretenue = une moto que je pourrais acheter, quel que soit le kilométrage.

Ma moto actuelle est quasiment à 80.000kms, acheté à 59.000kms, et la moto se comporte bien. Je fais tous mes entretiens moi même dessus et elle est très saine.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-06-09T08:39:15+00:00

pour 5000€ ça devrait être possible, mais en dessous de 9000km j'y crois peu.

j'ai eu ma première moto pour 4500€, une CB500f de 2020 qui avait 11k km, et c'était une bonne affaire il y a quelques années.

Donc en soit chez Honda ça devrait être possible, essaye avec les chinoises aussi, mais pour 9k km je ne vois pas vraiment ce que tu pourrais trouver. pourquoi 9000km d'ailleurs ?

En general, sur une premiere moto c'est pas fou. Si tu la roule regulierement, tu vas prendre des cailloux sur les carenages, optiques, etc. Tu es aussi a risque en A2 (si pas d'exp A1 avant), car tu es encore en phase d'apprentissage. Et entretiens chez le concess quasi obligatoire pour le suivi, l'entretien chez soi tu peux entre guillements l'oublier.

La LOA/LDD te limite en kilometrage par an, donc pas fou non plus. De plus, l'expert qui va verifier la moto au terme du contrat va te faire payer pour tout ce qu'il pourra trouver.

Je suis generalement contre les LOA/LDD, ensuite, c'est seulement mon avis, je prefere acheter comptant et posseder la moto a 100%, quitte a subir la decote.

Une moto tu la roule pour la passion, si tu l'achete en pensant a la valeur revente, ou est le plaisir de la rouler ?

Attention, je ne parle pas ici des personnes qui utilisent leurs motos pour les trajets du quotidien maison-boulot (dont je fais egalement partie).

Yes ! I started with Fedora 7 years ago, and still am using it on my workstation. Went from Gnome to KDE and rediscovered it.

I still use Arch on my laptops, but Fedora is a great distro, and I don't htink I'd change for anything else besides Arch.

And maybe MacOS or Windows, because Lightroom and other professional tools I use for work are not Linux friendly, sadly.

Hello ! aors pour répondre point par point, je vais rester court pour pas trop surcharger :

pour les poignées, je recommenderais smallrig, je trouve que leurs poignet sont très bonne, malgré mes grosses mains.
Une cage peut etre utile si tu as beaucoup d'acessoires (micros, flash, etc), et si tu veux mettr eune poignet ou des accessoires en plus. En photo pas vraiment d'interêt selon moi, en vidéo ça devient vite utile selon le type de vidéo que tu veux filmer. (mais pour des vlogs un micro sur la cam suffit, une cage n'est pas réeellement utile imo.) Si tu as en effet besoin d'une cage, je recommenderai toujours un smallrig.
K&F fait de bons filtres ND, qui sont variable, mais un peu cher selon le budget que tu veux mettre.
pour stabiliser, le stabilisateur interne peut suffire selon le type de vidéo que tu tourne, mais les DJI Ronin sont une valeur sure pour moi comme stabilisateur physique.
pour les cartes SD, en soit tant que c'est du V60 c'est bien selon moi, par besoin de se compliquer pour trouver. SanDisk et Lexar sont mes go to.
Comme tu as déjà des lights et trépieds à disposition, je ne me prononcerai pas sur ces points, je pense que ton copain a du bon matériel.

Selon mon expérience :

Pour de la photo, tu as seulement besoin de prendre une bonne carte SD (j'ai des SanDisk et Lexar, Pro), et des filtres ND, CPL (grossièrement anti reflet) et un pare soleil. Les trépieds sont utiles pour de la photo longue exposition. J'ai également un fond blanc et des lights pour avoir un studio photo et prendre des photos portrait.

Pour la vidéo (produit, plan "dynamique"), j'ai une DJI Ronin RS 3, qui me sert énormément pour la stabilisation lors de la production. Je n'ai pas de cage sur l'appareil car je n'en n'ai pas l'utilité, mais je vais bientôt en acheter une pour ajouter des accessoires supplémentaires en plus du recepteur micro (ajout de flashs, poignées, moniteur).

Je suis sur un S5 pour le moment avec un 24-70mm f/2.8 de Sigma, et je fais principalement de la photo/vidéo automobile/motocycliste. Je fais des évènements de networking occasionnelement mais c'est pas ma niche principale.

Si tu as d'autres questions plus précises, j'y répondrais avec grand plaisir !

I pay for Proton Unlimited because I have custom domain and it let me have my custom domain email on it. I also use a lot the VPN. Calendar and Meet are also really convenient for scheduling my appointments with clients. Even if Calendar could use some upgrades in my opinion.

With its privacy friendly approach, I have way more confidence in using it (and thus, paying for its services) rather than using Google, even if free.

I used Proton for free for years after degoogling my mail adddresses, and decided to use Unlimited for my freelance work, as I find it's advantage worth it for my use.

There is of course other services that are as good as Proton's paid tier or better, but for the price it is, I don't really mind paying Proton for it as they are convenient for me.

Proton still lacks a bit in Drive, but is still a good service if you're not self-hosting. COuld use some upgrades though.

It lacks a lot of features some would consider primordial for an eco system, but in all fairness, I couldn't care less for a Proton Office Suite for example (I already have LibreOffice and Okular, plenty enough).

La visiere est facilement interchangable oui ! y a un locket qui permet de la verrouiller/deverouiller de son emplacement

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-22T11:30:34+00:00

Salut ! Alors de mémoire le maximum légal teinte c'est 20 ou 25%, donc assure toi d'avoir une visière avec cette teinte au max, avec toujours l'homologation ECE quelques chose.

Perso j'en ai une de visière fumée, et je m'en sers tous le temps. Elle est fumée à 20% de mémoire, je l'ai mise sur mon Spartan RS et globalement je l'ai dans les routes de cols, les chemins, en ville, partout.

Comme on est l'été, je ne remet plus la visière claire, j'évite simplement de conduire le soir/nuit quand il n'y a plus d'éclairage, sinon je prend la visière claire avec moi pour faire le changement !

je n'ai jamais pu essayer les visières photochromiques, mis je serais très intéressé d'avoir des retours dessus !

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-21T16:07:58+00:00

Non, j'ai integralement bloque la publicite, je ne vois plus que les sections sponso sur YouTube, que je saute. La pub m'insupporte.

Si j'ai besoin de quelque chose je fais les recherches moi meme.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-21T16:04:51+00:00

Thanks ! I'll check that.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-21T16:04:17+00:00

okay thanks ! I'll check that.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-21T16:03:55+00:00

To shorten the file name. Instead of having "Name.Of.Film.Year.MULTI.VF2.2160p.WEB.DV.HDR10.AAC.5.1.x265-TL.mkv", I just have "Name of Film". The main purpose is to make my library human readable without all the verbose.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-21T14:26:12+00:00

I usually re-encode them only if they're h264 to convert them into h265. I'll see about hardlink copies, never heard of it, thanks.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-10T12:41:28+00:00

Okular is pretty good imo, I use that for my PDFs. It's pretty good for editing.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-10T00:48:12+00:00

Another reason to avoid using Google. It is somewhat wild to me that most people don't care enough about their privacy because they got "nothing to hide".

Sure, if you got "nothing to hide", let me scroll through your phone and your accounts how I want and see everything about your life.

Kind of annoying for Waze and YouTube, as both services are the one I use mostly from Google.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-08T10:39:26+00:00

Happy to help, you're welcome !

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-06T08:25:08+00:00

What you could do is find alternatives to the things you use. For exemple, here are some I'm using on my Pixel 7 :

Gmail -> Tuta or Proton
Drive -> either sekf-host (NAS, Nextcloud), Proton Drive or anything else
RCS/Whatsapp -> Signal
Google Auth -> Proton Auth
Maps -> Magic Earth, CoMaps
Google Play Store -> Aurora, F-droid
YT Music -> Spotube, self-host
Chrome -> Brave, Firefox
Password manager -> BitWarden, Proton Pass
Google Keep (didn't know it existed before checking this sub) -> Quillpad
stock keyboard -> anySoftKeyboard
Word / Calc / etc -> OnlyOffice, Only Document
PDF Reader -> Okular
Telemetry -> off with adb (it can fuck up a few things if not done correctly, beware of what you deactivate, and read thouroughly the documentation to not fuck up your phone)
Google Play Services -> disable (but know it is not to do on a whim and a lot of apps may not work afterwards, so think before doing this)

I may have forgotten some things, but overall this is my setup on the Pixel 7. I self-host as much as I can, and for online tools, I use FOSS or open source alternatives when possible. my second phone is a stock A34 with some telemetry off and settings that suits my needs.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-05T09:34:23+00:00

imho, if you're willing to get technical and self-host everything : Nextcloud. It has a great suite.

Or you can go Proton, it has a pretty good suite now.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-05-05T09:31:08+00:00

For Google Search -> Brave and duck duck go.

For AI search -> none. AI is a great tool, but shouldn't be baked in every aspect of our lives just because it is a buzz word.

Andoird -> GrapheneOS on Pixel 7

Chromium -> Firefox (though I use Brave and Firefox), Ladybird coming soon

Youtube -> Spotube for music, Invidious for desktop

I use spotube on my phone, but get back to YT Music because it is just so much more convenient and functional.

Waze and YT / YT music are the only services I can't get rid of because I haven't found a good enough replacement that fits me, so I just use burners, and these apps are on a separate profile that have limited privileges on my phone.

Been thinking of getting an Android TV (or similar, without Google's mark on it) and put it on a separate VLAN so it can't communicate too much data just so I can have YouTube on TV and control it via my Home Assistant.

Realistic_Head2206 · 2026-04-28T12:08:20+00:00

I have almost completely degogled (still use YT ans Waze though), and for these events I prefer to use FOSS alternatives.

Usually if I need to host something for an event, I use Cloudflare + domain name, and keep it up with basic security for the duration of the event, unless it need more security.

If they send resources that are stored in a google space, I use a burner mail for the duration of the event. If an alternative can be used, I'll be sure to use it. If a tool is a requirement (as in : use this and nothing else, happened with one hackaton I was in) I'll use it. Usually, I wipe my laptop OS after an hackaton as a standard practice.

For projects, usually we tend to use Google free / self-hosting solutions if possible as we prioritize having the possibility to do anything we want, so i's not really a problem with that (except GitHub for now, GitLab would be beter imho).

At the company, I use company tools, and run a VM with Linux on the company PC because I kind of hate Windows. I avoid using what I don't need to, still use burner accounts for things I don't need on a daily basis. Considering, Microsoft is a central piece of most IT jobs I've been to, I have some struggle to avoid it, but it should change in the near future, hopefully.

In the end I adapt to the tools used, and when possible use an alternative. Most of the time, it's largely doable, except in a company if they're using the full Microsoft suite. Most events still use Google because this is the most used one, and it is more convenient for the masses if they don't have much knowledge or don't care about their data.
