Just an A record, you just need the domain query to resolve to your IP.

“Both sides”
“Vote third party!”
Wtf seriously this isn’t the same thing remotely but the arguments used are.

Seriously we did this in 1998, why this again??

I fired up my copy of Ocarina a couple months ago. To my surprise, all 3 save files were intact and not corrupted! Could not believe it.
- Comment on Backing-up Single Board Computer 10 months ago:
You keep the user-changeable files on a separate filesystem. Whether that’s just a separate partition, or an external disk. Keep the system itself read only, and write-heavy directories like logs and caches in RAM.

Go for a vintage correct OS for a challenge, try Haiku!
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro tipped for late Jan/early Feb release 10 months ago:
It’s astounding. The same reason why the Steamdeck is better than the Asus and Lenovo imitation handhelds is why people will want the Apple Vision Pro compared to building your own headset and PC. Yet just because it’s Apple, all the edgelords are out in force refusing to see why a product combining existing technologies for you is better for the masses than one you cobble together yourself.
- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 11 months ago:
Polish.
It useless to be first if that product isn’t reliable, sustainable, practical. Apple adds polish to other concepts to make them usable by the vast majority of people.
Laptops existed……with weird keyboard layouts and mice that were afterthoughts. PowerBook pioneered the keyboard forward design that every laptop now has.
Smartphones existed……incredibly limited, weird UI, awkward input, targeted at businesses instead of regular people. iPhone changed everything so much that every other design died.
Collecting different innovations and figuring how to combine them in a way that is practical and sellable is their continuous innovation.
- Comment on Cloud storage for encrypted backups recommendations 11 months ago:
Wow. Thank you for that incredibly detailed explanation!!
It does sound like though that it is POTENTIALLY cheaper than something like B2, but also much easier to misconfigure and end up in a more expensive tier.
Seems to me unless you have a reason to use Amazon storage or already have something using it, using it for backup isn’t the best idea.
- Comment on Cloud storage for encrypted backups recommendations 11 months ago:
How much is their cheapest glacier tier? Seems complicated to calculate, seems there’s some relation to s3 storage or I’m just missing something? Haven’t looked that closely.

You could also pull all out through cloudflare and then it should be completely free

Sunshine and Moonlight are what you want instead.
- Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests 1 year ago:
Ok but……who the hell runs blender and FFP in 8GB?
The vast majority of users are NOT running pro apps like that.
It’s just a name. If you’re actually running pro stuff, you’d be an idiot to run that on 8Gb no matter what machine.
Apple’s argument that it’s the same as 16gb is dumb, but anyone actually using pro apps on 8Gb is dumber. The majority of browser(with sane numbers of tabs)/iPhoto/office users really are probably not gonna notice.

My 701 with 2gb ram and extended battery still works. I used to go wardriving with that thing!

So I’m SUPPOSED to run a miner to keep mine from being overly idle??
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 1 year ago:
I have 2 Pi 4s in operation. One is a Moonlight/USBoverIP stream gaming portal. It automatically turns on and connects to a VM running Sunshine on my Proxmox host, passes any USB controllers/bluetooth etc to the VM so the big loud gaming box is in the basement and the tiny Pi is next to the TV. 1080p60 works great, minimal lag.
The other acts mostly as a quorum server for the proxmox servers, I have two proxmox hosts and use the second Pi to ensure the cluster doesn’t get split brain. It also acts as a USBoverIP host for my home automation Zigbee and Zwave usb sticks, so that either proxmox host can connect to the USB sticks and the home automation VMs aren’t locked to a physical host.
- Comment on Forward IP headers in HAProxy to get the real IP of the client 1 year ago:
If you’re forwarding between haproxy instances, use proxy-protocol instead of forwardfor header forwarding.
- Comment on Let's talk about the curious and ingenious DriveSpace, an MS-DOS program promising to double the available disk space. 1 year ago:
Indeed. It really was the end of an era when they went to shit.
- Comment on Let's talk about the curious and ingenious DriveSpace, an MS-DOS program promising to double the available disk space. 1 year ago:
DOS has always? had chkdsk, but ndd had a knack for being able to recover data from minor corruptions way better than chkdsk did.
Between ndd, Spinrite, and I can’t remember the name of the undelete tools, I saved a lot of homework assignments.
- Comment on Let's talk about the curious and ingenious DriveSpace, an MS-DOS program promising to double the available disk space. 1 year ago:
Different tools. Speed disk was a disk defragmenter, DriveSpace was whole disk compression. The Norton tool you’d have used a lot if you used DriveSpace was Norton Disk Doctor.
- Comment on Let's talk about the curious and ingenious DriveSpace, an MS-DOS program promising to double the available disk space. 1 year ago:
Stacker, then MS ripped off Stacker and made Doublespace, got sued and changed the compression algorithm and renamed it DriveSpace.
Couldn’t use DoubleSpace or Stacker with Windows 3.X, there was no 32bit driver so disk access was horrendously slow. Windows95 was needed to use DriveSpace with full driver support, but it was still slow and by that time hard drives had caught up with the growing size of the OS and applications somewhat and live disk compression lost popularity, particularly with the way DriveSpace did it. Storing your entire drive as a single giant file backed by FAT32 was a terrible idea and prone to corruption.
When NTFS came around and introduced transparent file compression, that pretty much ended DriveSpace style compression. All modern FS now include some kind of compression, NTFS, APFS, BTRFS, ZFS. Even HFS+ had some ability to compress similar to APFS, but wasn’t very well known.
- Comment on How to make setup more resilient? Proxmox mini-PC \w iSCSI to TrueNAS 1 year ago:
I’m sure you’ve heard plenty through the forums, but Truenas virtualized is perfectly fine so long as you’re passing through an HBA directly. It doesn’t affect reliability any, but it doesn’t add any features either.
“Can I virtualized Truenas” is probably the second most popular question after “do I really need ECC ram”

I remember travelling and going to Internet cafes at each city to upload pictures back to my server at home. Was like a modern phone booth for a short period.
