News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yeah, I chose to ignore the VPS angle because I feel like it presents essentially the same problems as self-hosting – just on rented hardware. It didn't really serve the story. But I get that omitting this makes it confusing for more tech-savvy readers. I use a VPS with Dokploy for hosting apps, but I don't know if I'd use it to host my photo library haha

Also, I'm actually working on jailbreaking my Kindle and will probably write a future article about that! Thanks for reading and commenting!

Cool, enjoy jail breaking Kindle. I live for liberating my devices, mostly old android phones and laptops that somehow have the latest updates despite being long forgotten my the companies who made them.

I still remember the iPod my wife and I bought to take our music with us while travelling, only to be told we couldn't transfer the mp3's to our laptop. Hacked that thing and never looked back!
