Yes. The proxy will have 80 and 443 forwarded from the router. Everything else gets proxied through your reverse so you can set basic auth on anything likely to be a security risk. Generally, you don’t want regular login pages exposed directly, they should be behind basic auth.
- Comment on New to selfhosting 1 day ago:
Don’t expose things to the internet with port forwards. Anything you want to do like that can be done with a reverse proxy or preferably a VPN.
That is all.

Mastodon is a pain in the ass to get signed up for anyone under room temperature IQ, so, like, most of Twitter’s users, even the ones smart enough to leave.

Good review, it reminds me of a Project Farm video. That guy reviews things very much from a practical use standpoint.

Why would they even make a 40 min long ad for Redbull?

Consider setting up a monthly or annual automatic donation. They do great work and need your support.

- Comment on Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users 2 weeks ago:
I was on there for 15 and modded/started a pile of communities. I go back now for research and it’s all bots and deleted comments. Maybe the default subs are full of real people but I doubt it. The very, very niche subs still seem to have people in them, but are nowhere as active as they used to be.
I’m sure Reddit is gaming the investors. You can’t trust lying Pigboy farther than you can kick him.

This might be what you’re looking for: Zola
Single binary that lets you keep your markdown/config in git and just build it from the git clone folder you’re in at the time.
I know some people that have moved off of Hugo to this, and Alex from the Selfhosted podcast recently talked about it on their show.

- Comment on Russia finds way to buy sanctioned Nvidia AI chips: through Asian countries. 2 weeks ago:
In the end, it makes it much more expensive for supplies, reducing the amount they can spend on other fuckery. Yah, they’ll still get them, but when inflation is rampant and you have highly reduced foreign trade reducing available foreign reserves, it makes its mark. Look at Cuba.

- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 3 weeks ago:
1Q84: never ran across it, but from the wikipedia article:
novel’s excessive repetition, clichéd writing, clumsy styling and unyielding plot.
Which is pretty much where I was with TBP, so I can’t imagine I’ll rush out to read this.
Regarding translation: www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/…/izxm5l2/
I’ve read other chinese authors translated by the likes of Ken Liu and I see nothing like that, enjoy them well enough, before and after reading TBP. So the usual “your closed western mind can’t conceive of the Chinese style” argument kinda pisses me off when I get it back in discussions of these books. But I’m used to that reaction, so I don’t take it personally anymore.
Yah, I was thinking of the attenuation issue there, and not to mention that eventually the powerful transmissions go away in order to use low-power, high-bandwidth satellite bouncing instead of blaring away at 1kW to communicate. I imagine we’re already much quieter than we were 20 years ago.
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 3 weeks ago:
We’re going to have to disagree on those books. I found the first one amateurish and hand-wavy SF with terrible character development, and the second one was just a ridiculous deus-ex-machina plot point that invalidated all the rest of the previous and possible future plot pivot points, with continued terrible character development. I wouldn’t know about the third, by this point I was done giving him any more of my money.
I’m surprised about Brin’s article there, because all his work has been pretty upbeat about galactic species generally getting along, though with its rough points.
Personally, I chalk up the great silence to very short species lifespans after achieving spaceflight. Maybe they all go post-singularity and become undetectable, or run out of resources and go primitive again. Or just die off/suicide, which seems like where we’re headed. If we have a century of relatively powerful transmissions, what’s the chance of anyone being close enough in that short period of time to detect us?
- Comment on I'll share a troubling fact with you if you share one with me 3 weeks ago:
This theory was around long before Lee Cuixin and done much better. Saberhagen’s Berserker series is a much better example, and has the added bonus of believable character development in his books.
Hell, Battlestar Galactica was the same thing done 5 years before TBP came out, and way more interestingly.
- Comment on Help Identify This Connector 3 weeks ago:
Not sure what the connector is, but those look like Metri-Pack pins. They release by sliding a thin flat tool or a small jewelers screwdriver in the slot at the bottom of the housing of each pin, lifting a bit to release the pin, and pulling them out the back. Then you can replace that seal, but you’ll have to pull all the wires (keep them in order and marked).

Get hit with one ransom ware attack and that shit’ll pivot 180.
- Comment on Trump cosplaying 3 weeks ago:
Plus, consider how much plastic waste that comes to. I’ve seen people describe them changing gloves several times an hour to comply with food safety laws. We don’t have outbreaks of this shit because people wash their hands and don’t rely on gloves.
- Comment on Trump cosplaying 3 weeks ago:
Same here, but I don’t think the workers tend to wear diapers either.
- Comment on xkcd #3001: Temperature Scales 3 weeks ago:
I think a degree F was 1/10,000 of the volume of mercury he happened to use in his first thermometer. The 180 was probably a coincidence because bimetal spring thermometers came along later.

Since it’s Reddit, I would guess copyright sockpuppets are steering the narrative to help damage them further.
- Comment on A decline in arable land 3 weeks ago:
That’s always been the way of it. Cities start where people settle, and people settle on the best land they can find. Then the city expands into the farmland surrounding it. This happened in Europe, and then NA. This isn’t a Canada Bad thing.
