- Comment on Using Tailscale As A Traditional VPN 12 hours ago:
It’s pretty much a complete feature. There’s nothing really else to consider. The only consideration is that this exit node will now have the traffic of all of your other devices. The only privacy consideration is the ISP of the exit node will have all of the traffic from all of your devices. Other than that, it’s basically it.

Not a doctor here, but sounds like classic symptoms of a few different conditions, from hormonal, to neurological, to dietary.
This is not something you should just accept, go see a doctor, ideally get basic blood test, hormone tests and an evaluation from a psychiatrist. But if you are not sure or are feeling overwhelmed, just start with one simple visit to the doctor, share with them your experience.
Don’t worry, I’m sure you will be fine and figure it all out ❤️
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 days ago:
Depends on what you are after. Plenty of people are just looking to game, without anything specific in mind. Also plenty of people might see the real difference, want both, but only have the money for one. In these cases I would say that they are competitors as the buyer is contemplating which of the two to buy.
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 4 days ago:
Yeah but I think this is still the same, just not a single language. It might think in some mix of languages (which you can actuaysee sometimes if you push certain LLMs to their limit and they start producing mixed language responses.)
But it still has limitations because of the structure in language. This is actually a thing that humans have as well, the limiting of abstract thought through internal monologue thinking

That has always been the case. Even basic programs need debugging sometimes, so we developed debuggers.

On a highway you would usually go 80-120 kmh.
No easy way to imagine that kind of speed in a car for most people.
Here are some things and their speeds in kmh:
- human falling at terminal velocity belly down: 200 kmh
- plane right before touchdown: 250 kmh
- f1 racer: 320 kmh
- cannon ball being fired: 3000 kmh
- fastest baseball pitch: 170 kmh
Anyway, he probably has only a few more times of that before he crashes and instantly dies (and probably kills a bunch of people)

- Comment on What steps do you take to secure your server and your selfhosted services? 6 days ago:
in the context of the comment you referenced:
Definitely have the server on its own VLAN. It shouldn’t have any access to other devices that are not related to the services and I would also add some sort of security software.
If you have a public service that you expect to have multiple users on you definitely should have some level of monitoring whether it is just the application logs from the forum that you want to host or further have some sort of EDR on the server.
Things I would do if I was hosting a public forum:
- Reverse proxy
- fail2ban
- dedicated server that does not have any personal data or other services that are sensitive
- complete network isolation with VLAN
- send application logs to ELK
- clamAV
And if the user base grows I would also add:
- EDR such as velociraptor
- an external firewall / ips
- possibly move from docker to VM for further isolation (not likely)
- Comment on What steps do you take to secure your server and your selfhosted services? 1 week ago:
Just tailscale really.
My services are only exposed to the tailscale network, so I don’t have to worry about otger devices on my LAN.
A good VPN with MFA is all you really need if you are the only user.

- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 1 week ago:
If for example the server is actually a computer in the LAN and maybe it’s also his media server and his backup server then potentially any compromise could lead to his personal information leaked and or other computers in the LAN compromised.
So what could actually happen? His personal photos and passwords and accounts can be leaked or taken over. He could be spied on by accessing his webcam. A lot of things could go wrong.
You are right. Learning by doing is awesome. Just be sure to do it in a safe way. Get a VPC. Do it there. No personal information, no access to other services. Just this service, just for this purpose. Worst case scenario, if it’s taken over, the only thing that’s harmed is the forum itself. Which is not the end of the world, I’m guessing.

Especially if this is from a computer that has access/information beyond just the public service.
- Comment on Risks of self-hosting a public-facing forum? 1 week ago:
Don’t do it.
Hosting a public service with no real knowledge of security can only end badly.
Get a vpc, do it there, learn from mistakes.
It’s more than just HTTPS, you also need proper authentication, regular updates, emergency updates for critical vulnerabilities, ideally some sort of monitoring to detect potential misuse of the service or any escalations from the service to the OS.
Ask yourself this: If this was your first time driving a car, would you rather do it in an empty parking lot where at worst you will damage the car. Or would you rather do it in a busy street where at worst you can kill someone?

I think we need to agree to disagree because I feel like we both said what we had to say. I still think you are missing the point and you still think I’m over analyzing.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
I know a few people who are genuinely smart but got so deep into the AI fad that they are now using it almost exclusively.
They seem to be performing well, which is kind of scary, but sometimes they feel like MLM people with how pushy they are about using AI.

Yeah but that’s just semantics. I wouldn’t phrase it that way but in the context of the comment I don’t think this is an attempt at reducing the issue
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 1 week ago:
If you are white, go call a black person a removed in a friendly way (like black people do to eachother sometimes) and see how well that goes. History matters, the origin of a word matters. Sure, maybe in a 100 years the meaning will change, but currently it is still widely recognized as a homophobic slur.
And even if you were gay, that does not make you immune to internelized homophobia. Just like there are plenty of black people who disagree with the usage of the word removed even if spoken by a black person, because it is still rooted in racism.
