Ep11 News and Updates
I’m back! Now with a redneck, tricked out Frankenputer latop. But its powered by KDENeon and backedup by Yunohost. It’s episode 11 and I got some news, opinions and updates for you right here, right now on The Self Hosted Podcast.
Housekeeping
My laptop broke. Thats why I’ve been silent. But I was able to jerry rig it enough that its usable. I’ll post pics or you can go see them on Mastodon. I’m using KDENeon and I am loving how easy it is on the ram. It really quick and light. Plus I’m on a newer kernel instead of using a low latency 4.xx on Ubuntu Studio. I may just keep this and be rid of US forever. But I do want to try Manjaro really bad. I used Arch once before but I borked it and decided it was not for me. But I hear nothing but good reviews for Manjaro for the last couple of years now. Plus its what Unfa uses. And if its good enough for Unfa to create the beautiful music he does with it why wouldn’t it be good for a podcaster? Some quick stats about you from Anchor. As you know these are only tracked if you are using an app on your mobile or listening to it on Anchors website. If you manually download from the show notes I have no idea who you are or where you are from. As of this recording 603 plays. And there is estimated to be at least 50 of you that listen to me every time I put out an episode. Thank you and I hope you are getting something out of this. 59% of you use Android while only 17% of you use iphone. 24% of you are listed as other so I am guessing that is on the web. I also know that 51% of you are in the US with UK, Germany, Australia and Canda rounding out the top 10. In total this podcast is being listened to in 26 countries around the world. I sincerly thank you and hope that I am inspireing you to get into hosting your own data and taking back control.
Yunohost App highlight
FreshRss A free, self hostable aggregator I have fallen in love with it. Its clean and easy to read and use. Looks and works good enough on mobile that you dont really need an app. Has two different api’s. Greader and Fever

How to avoid being banned by fail2ban forever!
So a user by the name of “Mad” over at the Yunohost forums has posted a pretty awesome tip.
To be honest I havent tried it out yet but I plan to as soon as I get my laptop situation straightened out. It’s a two part solution if I am understanding this. 1. Always allow ssh from another fixed ip address. What this is ssh into a vps and then through that vps you ssh into your Yunohost. So on your Yunohost you need to set fail2ban to always allow a connection from the other vps. Pretty simple and quite interesting concept. 2. But when your not in that specific vps and you need to access your Yunohost. So he has posted a script that uses dyndns so you can do the same thing from home. I’ll put it in the shownotes. Aleks noted in the thread that in Yunohost version 3.7 they are increasing the max retry to 10 on fail2ban to help aleviate the problem of there being only 5 attempts allowed currently.
