I believe you are correct.
I was imagining “into the future” though, where everyone has a device that meshes with like devices, creating a internet of connect devices to transport data over large distances. All decentralized, if one node goes down traffic routes a different way in the mesh.
Think Cellphone Towers for examples, but the idea is everyone would have their own device at home (or on them) that instead creates the mesh and simultaneously access the mesh.

Same decentralized mesh networks would be the equivalent of a federated social network.
No one person owning the infrastructure.

Thank you, your comment here helped me sort my issue out.
For anyone if you want to access this without the built-in proxy/caddy server set your ports in your docker compose like so.
3010:3000 3443:443 (this is the caddy port inside the container)
- Comment on Has Canada's government done anything concrete to reduce dependence on the US since Trump took office? Maybe even since the first term? 6 days ago:
I don’t agree with much that the Ford Government says in Ontario here, but bringing in a Chinese EV manufacturing plant into the province would a net positive.
Canada could become a clean energy powerhouse if it wanted TBH

You can try things like vics or nasal sprayers
Also putting your head over a warm kettle of water and breathing in the warm vapor helps
Other things would be nasal saltwater drains. Though make sure to use distilled water and not tapwater for example

This is the answer, it does sound Polish
- Comment on Mixarr – a music discovery companion for Lidarr/Plex 1 week ago:
Understood, though it’s still kicking my but TBH. Exposing port 3010:3010 from docker seems to get me a connection refused.
But I can still connect to port 443 when going through 3443. Both ports are set to TCP
Guess I’m just exhausted, will play around with it more tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
- Comment on Mixarr – a music discovery companion for Lidarr/Plex 1 week ago:
I am running in docker, I got 443 pointed at 3443.
I saw the 3010 setting in the docs, i just can’t figure out if 3010 is pointed at 80?

I am trying to put this behind Haproxy but not having much luck, I keep getting client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.
Anyone have a clue how to resolve this?
I understand this image has its own caddy reverse proxy, not sure how to bypass that at the moment.
- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 1 week ago:
Gone are they days were people get things repaired, especially the “simple things” like getting a good leather shoes sole replaced, or getting a couch redone. Though planned obsolescence plays a role in this as well.
It also means these services are more expensive as a result.

Faster Whisper could be a option, there is various GUI options available as well.
github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper
And if you are looking for something that you can “just install”, I recommend balabolka. The voices are natural and you can use some of the windows built in voices to make it more natural.

- Comment on EU investigates Google over AI-generated summaries in search results 5 weeks ago:
Remember when companies like Google and Facebook got slapped with fines and fees from various countries for sumerizing news in news feeds on their sites.
News outlets were complaining about loss of ad revenue as a result of reduced traffic to their website directly.
Facebook even in some cases blocked news links in some countries from not showing on users feeds, so as to be compliant and not pay fees.
Guess AI summarising news is somehow completely different.

Does Denmark still have mail delivery for “other items” like small are large packages?
I would presume one could still send a envelope with a letter inside it located inside a bigger box or bubble envelope? One could even use the service to ship a fully encrypted USB or HHD if one wanted too.

Similar like Christmas, Halloween is not celebrated in the same commercialized way in parts of Europe for example. It focuses more on the remembering and honouring of the dead, commonly done with heading to evening mass and then lighting a candel at the cemetery.
Halloween as we know it evolved from two main sources: the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter, and the Christian observances of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. The night before All Saints’ Day, November 1, became known as “All Hallows’ Eve,” which was later shortened to Halloween.
Celtic festival of Samhain
Purpose: To celebrate the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark, cold winter.
Beliefs: Celts believed that on the night of Samhain (around November 1), the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth.
Traditions: To ward off evil spirits, people would light large bonfires and wear costumes or disguises.
Timing: Held around November 1, the time of the new year for the ancient Celts.
Christian influence
All Saints Day: In the 8th century, the Roman Catholic Church moved the feast day of All Saints to November 1, likely to absorb or replace the pagan traditions of Samhain.
All Hallows’ Eve: The night before the feast of All Saints became known as “All Hallows’ Eve,” or “the eve of all the hallowed (or holy) ones”. Over time, this name was shortened to “Hallowe’en”.
Merged traditions: Many pagan traditions from Samhain merged with Christian observances, such as the “souling” tradition in which people went door-to-door asking for food in exchange for prayers for the dead. This is a precursor to modern trick-or-treating.
