There’s a lot of options. There’s countless paid services that offer exactly that.

If you wanna build something yourself for free, you could probably set up a site accessible via HTTP on your server and create a script on your phone that pings it every 30 seconds or so. Afaik, termux has a termux-notification function that lets you send a notification.

Codewise, it would look somewhere like this I think:

#!/usr/bin/env bash  

# Config 
NOTIFY_TITLE="Server Alert"  
NOTIFY_MESSAGE="Server returned a non‑200 status."  

HOST="funnysite.com"  
PORT=8080  
PATH="/healtcheck"  

URL="http://${HOST}:${PORT}${PATH}"  
# Config  

HTTP_CODE=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "$URL")  

if [[ "$HTTP_CODE" != "200" ]]; then  
    termux-notification -t "$NOTIFY_TITLE" -c "$NOTIFY_MESSAGE $HOST:$PORT"  
fi  

exit 0  

Afaik, termux doesn’t ship the cron daemon, but you can install cronie or use an external task scheduler. There, just set to run the script every 60 seconds or so. Whatever you need.

I haven’t tested anything of this, but in my head, it sounds like it should work fine.

I wish people would just not buy products that shit on their rights as consumer.

Bro how the fuck is the law not enforceable if you’re a company in the US? You either comply or get sued. It’s just that simple. How is that so hard to understand?

Because some OS vendors based in the US might have to comply with the law, if you like it or not. System76 or RedHat will not have a choice unless the laws will get repelled.

If the functionality is already in the system then what is stopping more governments requiring it or expanding it.

Because having direct access to your system is something that would be incompatible with the constitution of most civilized countries and would therefore require massive legislative change. If a government is planning to do that, an additional field in systemd won’t be the change that tips the scales.

At least someone gets it.

It’s kinda crazy how many people here claim to use linux or even actually use linux, but apparently don’t know what the operating system does and what the system manager does.

Nobody has to patch it out. The OS just doesn’t have to use them.

As long as the OS doesn’t implement age verification, that field in systemd means nothing. Some OS will have to do that - especially commercial distros based in murica. So the change within systemd is largely inconsequential, but people are freaking out about it - most likely because they don’t understand systemd and what it does.

People are unnecessarily freaking out about that minor addition. It’s pretty cringe. Systemd has no way to enforce age verification by itself, that’ll be the OS job - as long as that doesn’t happen, there is no age verification.

Honestly, it’s kind of a big nothing burger. As long as the distro that you use doesn’t actively enforce the age verification, it’s just a field that is there and that is really inconsequential.

I am making bank fixing shitty vibecoded software. So yes, please more of it. One more year like this and I can buy a house without debt lmao.

I don’t think there’s any irony in people trying to make money with their work. And I’d much much MUCH rather have them insert multiple sponsors in a video that I can just skip over than worry about ads and their constant tracking.

Heimdall or Dashy are the first things that come to mind. However, what I would do in your case is using local URLs that you can resolve via a local DNS like pihole. That way, you don’t have to remember IPs and ports, but just services. If you need different ports, you might need a proxy in between, which is also set up fairly quickly with nginx.

wtf that is not even REMOTELY what he wants lmaoo. Grafana is a complete overkill, that’s like telling someone who wants to host a hello-world docker container to use kubernetes.

You’re still querying search engines with your IP

IP in itself might not be as much of a problem, unless you have a static IP, which most consumers don’t. And even if you do, you are also hiding a lot of baggage relating to user agents or other fingerprintable settings. IP alone is rarely used as a sole point to link your traffic to other datapoints. On top of that, you can still just decide to exclude google, bing etc from your search results and rely more “open” ones like DDG or ecosia.

Another huge upside of searxng is the aggregation of results. The search results of google are all up to, well, google. Same with bing, which is controlled by microsoft. If these companies now decide to “surpress” certain information, people using only those engines directly would no longer see those news. However, if you get your results from multiple search engines, you are not - or lets say less - affected by that kind of nonsense.

As always with news and information, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. And that’s where searxng helps out tremendously.

Imagine still watching LTT when he almost ruined a startup because he didn’t want to spend 400 bucks worth of employees time for testing the product properly.

Literally a fucking trash human that doesn’t give a single flying fuck about other people.

simply don’t have time

Sorry, but that is no reason. That’s a bit akin to having a dog and saying: “Nah I don’t have time to walk the dog now”. Selfhosting something that is publicly available (not as in “everyone can use it” but “everyone can access it”) bears some level of responsibility. You either make the time to properly set up and maintain it, or you shouldn’t selfhost stuff.

Lmao no. That guy is just a fucking nutjob. It’s nothing new really. The only thing compromised is his brain really.

I would add searxng - a bit finnicky to set up but very powerful and customizeable.

Adding certificates is a 5 step process: Settings -> Privacy and Security -> View Certificates -> Import -> Select file and confirm. That’s on firefox at least, idk about chrome, but probably not significantly more complex. With screenshots, a small guide would be fairly easy to follow.

Don’t get me wrong, I do get your point, but I don’t feel like making users add client certs to their browser storage is more work than helping them every 2 weeks because they forgot their password or shit like that lol. At least, that’s my experience. And the cool thing about client certs is they can’t really break it, unlike passwords which they can forget, or change them because they forgot, just to then forget they changed it. Once it runs, it runs.

The “average user” shouldn’t selfhost anything. Might sound mean or like gatekeeping, but it’s the truth. It can be dangerous. There’s a reason why I hire an electrician to do my house installation even tho I theoretically know how to do it myself - because I’m not amazingly well versed in it and might burn down my house, or worse, burn down other peoples houses.

People who are serious about selfhosting need to learn how to do it. Halfassing it will only lead to it getting breached, integrated into a botnet and being a burden on the rest of humanity.
