⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Unfortunately not as self hosting is really just an amalgamation of a number of different technologies, concepts, groups of best practices, and there are nine and a half viable ways to do any given thing you’ll want to do.

I think if you wanted a rough plan of what would be the most valuable things to learn in which order it would be
1. Docker, especially persisting your storage and also how its network works. Use containerized services only on your local network at first to get a feel for things, and give yourself the ability to screw things ip without putting yourself in any danger.
2. VPNs and how they work. You can start with a direct stupid simple VPN like WireGuard, or Tailscale if you want a mesh-VPN. This will allow you to reach your services remotely without having to worry too much about security and the micromanagement that can sometimes come with it.
3. Reverse proxies for things you’d like to expose to the public. At this point you want to learn as well about things like server hardening, have a system in place to automate software updates etc. there’s a common misconception that using a reverse proxy is innately much safer than port forwarding directly to your services. It can help by obscuring your home IP, and if you pair it with a WAF of some kind that’ll help you with much of the chaff attacks that get tossed your way, but at the end of the day in both cases you’re exposing the web services on your local network to the internet at large, so you have to understand the risk and reward of doing this.

I’m not sure what you’re on about and I don’t think anyone else does either.

I’m not sure what you mean by that

something so minor and inconsequential that it would gained .001% more votes

It’s actually closer to 16% and I would definitely not call it inconsequential given that Trump one this election with several million votes less than he got in 2020 when he lost.

This is just Material Design a set of design principles and components by Google for developers to use.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo's new music app is a clone of YouTube Music.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I am by no means a YTM Stan and I agree it’s not a great app, but at the same time I struggle to think of one that’s objectively better, besides the now defunct Google Play Music. And that was only really better because it was easier to navigate.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you have an iPhone, it’s a pain over Tailscale because Tailscale frequently likes to disconnect for various reasons and this isn’t something Tailscale can fix, it’s something with the way Apple manages background processes.

If you’d like an alternative, you can host your services directly to the internet via a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx, and then use mTLS to secure that access with a certificate you load only onto your devices.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any games using neural networks for better hard AI that doesn't cheat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Hard bots have actually been so much trouble, that literally the only way to make them hard at all is to make them cheat by allowing them to operate outside of the ruleset the player is bound by. It’s a humongous issue with every strategy game on the market.

Stop it man you’re just going to give them ideas
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you selfhost your own blog/website?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
There’s nothing wrong with just using a VPS for this. Despite what some mouth-frothing hobbyists will tell you, it’s still well within the realm of self hosting. There’s just no reason or difference for hosting a blog on your UnRAID server vs a VPS.

If you really want to be some kind of purist and only use your own hardware, then you could configure a web server that can reverse proxy on your UnRAID server and forward port 443 in your router to your UnRAID box, but you’d have to change your UnRAID access port to something else. You’d want to keep this web server docker container up to date, and preferably see if you can implement some kind of WAF with it or in front of it. You’d then forward the requests from this web server to your ghost container.

A better idea would be to use a different piece of hardware for this web server reverse proxy, like a raspberry pi or something, and put it on a different subnet in your house. Forward 443 to that, then proxy the connection back to UnRAID, in whatever port you bind the ghost container to. Then you can tighten access that raspberry pi has.

No he’s objectively right. No Mans Sky has made improvements but they just made puddle wider. It’s no deeper than it was at release.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I think they absolutely know how willing their employees are to quit. It’s been demonstrated over and over again in the tech industry for the last couple years. It is is far more likely that they’re counting on it, than are somehow all being blindsided by it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Realistically there’s AWS and Azure, and with Azure being run by Microsoft it’s not like it’s going to be better in anyone’s minds. Google’s is a VERY distant third with no real shot to take over, and everything else is a rounding error.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media is becoming infested with climate change denial and misinformation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Oh I fully understand it, which evidently you don’t or you’d understand why that has nothing to do with the absence of climate change. You could try educating yourself but… you won’t. If you did that, you’d lose your what in your mind is an anti-climate change silver bullet and then you’d have to spend even more energy finding another one.

What I have is t an opinion it’s just an object fact, bend yourself.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

You fundamentally do not understand how big tech companies operate if you think they can afford to hemmorage engineering talent without impacting their bottom line in a multitude of ways.

Evidently Amazon doesn’t either then since, you know, they’re literally doing it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
That’s assuming the real talent wasn’t secretly given exception to this. And in any case, what’s important isn’t having the best talent, it’s making the numbers look better for end of year.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
To literally no one’s surprised, least of all the leadership at Amazon. No unemployment when you quit.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media is becoming infested with climate change denial and misinformation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
El Niño / La Ninya are terms that the uneducated just learned about but pretend has always been common knowledge only because it’s something to desperately grasp into to “explain away” climate change.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI to remove non-profit control and give Sam Altman equity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, with the money he’d earn off the money he borrowed. This is why taxing unrealized gains is a national conversation. “It’s not money until you sell it” but you can borrow it like it’s money and make actual other money with it likes it’s money.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
What it really comes down to is that this type of “safe” game design where you rehash the same game over and over again for 20 years thing used to make a shitload of money, and now it doesn’t. Or at least, they’re discovering that there’s a mathematical maximum amount of times you can rehash something without innovating. And not doing that is too huge a pivot for a huge lumbering company like Ubsioft to make on a reasonable timescale.

This is what’s supposed to happen though. When not enough people buy games to make them profitable, the games have to change, or Ubisoft goes under. Either is fine.

Well it is, it just doesn’t go out and do all the caching for you ahead of time, instead it’s on demand. You are right that as far as pre populated alternatives go, it’s just archive.org now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Cache Is Now Fully Dead.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
If you’re looking for a replacement, there are a lot of similar apps out there you can host yourself (And therefore can’t be killed) or pay a fee to have hosted for you.

linkwarden.app Is the one I use.
