This question is still valid from a marketing standpoint. If you’re selling honey, are you able to advertise it as vegan?

- Comment on Do you selfhost your own blog/website? 1 month ago:
So many suggestions here but I thought I’d chime in because I have a setup very similar to what to suggested and I find a very easy way of hosting it securely. I am using Unraid on a system in my house. I have my web service running in a docker container. I exposed it using a cloudflare tunnel. There is an Unraid plugin for cloudflare tunnels that takes out a lot of the configuration work involved in getting it running locally. You just have to also set up a corresponding endpoint on Cloudflare’s website and have a domain name registered with them for you to link to it.
The way it works then is when someone requests your domain (or subdomain) in their browser, Cloudflare gets the request and redirects the traffic to the cloudflare tunnel client app that you set up in your computer. That app on your machine then redirects the traffic to your other container that is hosting your web service and established bidirectional communication that way.
The benefits to this system are:
- Relatively easy setup, especially if you want to expose more services in the future (you’ll need to run a separate cloudflare container for each service exposed though)
- No need to open ports in your router or firewall on your home network. Cloudflare just know how to communicate between it’s server and its client app on your computer (I think you have to set up an access token so it is secure).
- None of your users ever learn your home IP address because once they connect at Cloudflare’s server, they don’t get any more knowledge than that about what’s on the other side.
- It’s free (not including the cost of registering your domain)
Downsides:
- You have to trust that Cloudflare is not scraping all the traffic going through the tunnel.
- Some people have a moral issue with giving Cloudflare more responsibility for hosting “the Internet”. We already rely on their infrastructure heavily for large sections of the Internet. If they ever become malicious, there is a lot to lose as a society.
I believe you can use Wireguard and a rented VPS to recreate this setup without Cloudflare but it will require a lot more knowledge in order to set it up with more points of failure. And it would cost more because even though Wireguard is FOSS, a VPS will cost you a monthly fee of at least a few bucks per month.
I currently have 2 services exposed using Cloudflare tunnels on my Unraid system at home. They’ve been running for over a year now with 0 interruption.

- Comment on Police guarding grocery stores in the wake of Helene 1 month ago:
Your analogy is get accurate. It’s more like: commercial fisherman murders hundreds of innocent fish. Those fish usually go toward feeding whales. Why do the fishermen hate whales?
The real crime here is too many people, these cops included, use “just following orders” as justification to hand-wave away the side effects as not their problem. The intent is important here, and the headline for this article misconstrues the intent and cause of the resulting suffering. For that matter, it doesn’t even go into detail about the actual suffering, just a hypothetical one.

Maybe a 10 if they also regularly do all that at sex parties and masturbate in the bathroom at work

My point is the cops were not on a crusade against baby formula purchasers like the headline implies.

So they were just denying everyone entry to the grocery store and this really has nothing to do with baby formula?

I feel like it’s hyped just enough. It does have the potential to revolutionize computing but we have no practical applications for it at the current point in its development. There’s only so much you can hype something that can’t even act as a simple calculator better than a handheld calculator can.

I believe that store is for individual assets rather than whole levels with the assets already arranged… But I’m not certain because I haven’t used it.
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws Is A Crappy Masterpiece 2 months ago:
It would be cool if some of the large level designs in some of these games were made more widely available to other developers. They could sell it, doesn’t have to be free. Seems like it could be a decent business model.
