- Comment on Why ActivityPub over Nostr? - function only 4 days ago:
See Wikipedia:
The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym “fiatjaf” as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.
Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.
In 2024, in an article reporting on the project’s funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.
Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, “Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me” and some AI bullshit.

No, I use a second reverse proxy for my local network. For example, I can resolve navidrome either via my VPS using
navidrome.mydomain.netor directly in my local network with the addressnavidrome.local.mydomain.net. I also configured the local caddy reverse proxy with a DNS provider module to get LetsEncrypt certificates for my local addresses. - Comment on Solutions for remote access? 1 week ago:
I use a wireguard tunnel that connects to a cheap VPS and then configured a caddy reverse proxy on that VPS that makes my services available on the internet.

I tried it a couple of years ago with the steam controller and the action camera. It works surprisingly well.

Here is more information.
guildwars2.com/…/announcing-guild-wars-reforged/
Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.
And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!
This sounds promising.
- Comment on Guild Wars Reforged Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.
I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.

I recently bought one and I am quite happy with it.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 1 month ago:
Gothic one and two are really good. In the first game you are dropped into a prison colony and very soon a guard will try to extract protection money from you. In any other game the guard would just kill you, instead you will meet another guy asking you for help. He then lures you to a secluded space reveals that he was sent by the corrupt guard and beats you unconscious to steal your money.
Another game I will never stop recommending because of its worldbuilding is the excellent Enderal: Forgotten Stories. I really like how it depicts the theocratic society of the continent the story plays out in. The story about what initially seems like a standard fantasy thieves guild but is actually a cult that shuns emotion and try to transcend the physical body, is also really good and ties in with the overarching plot of the game.
- Comment on ‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS 1 month ago:
I would not recommend it. Session is a signal fork that deliberately removes forward secrecy from the protocol and uses weaker keys. The removal of forward security means that if your private key is ever exposed all your past messages could be decrypted.

- Comment on What's your favourite menu music in a game? 2 months ago:
I always really liked the menu music from Guild Wars Eye of the North because it is an actual overture.
- Comment on What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation? 2 months ago:
Honestly, I would go with a managed Nextcloud solution like Hetzner Storage Share or another reputable provider. No hassle of updating and securing the server, no data stored at Google or Microsoft, and easy to administrate by people who aren’t expert system administrators in case you are no longer available.

I don’t need to be a three star Michelin chef to realize that the plate of shit I have just been served is in fact a plate of shit. Similarly, I also don’t need to be a game developer to see that the buggy mess of a game gearbox just released is not worth my time.

There is an official linux like package manager for windows called winget but its targeted at system administrators and not at the typical enduser.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 months ago:
As for the listenbrainz/last.fm that is kind of a solution, but it takes a very long time to train up your profile to actually be useful.
This isn’t a huge issue, listenbrainz supports importing your spotify history. - Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 2 months ago:
There no need to choose on over the other. I host all my podman containers in a Proxmox VM.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 3 months ago:
You can connect navidrome and many other music players to listenbrainz.org. Like Spotify it creates an end of the year report and it also does recommendations like the weekly spotify playlist.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Pretty cool as a learning exercise. As a follow up scenario maybe try moving this infrastructure to another cloud provider because AWS deleted your account without warning or try a multi-cloud deployment.
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 4 months ago:
Regarding Lets Encrypt you don’t your server doesn’t need to be accessible from the internet if you use the DNS-01 challenge. Caddy with the caddy-dns plugin for your provider can do that automatically for you.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 4 months ago:
Either use the
sftpcommand it also supports the-Joption or use SSH tunneling. For example here I bind the port 4533 to my local port 8080.$ ssh -L 8080:vpn-homelab-ip:4533 user@vps-ip (user@vps) $
I can now open a new shell and run:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/ <a href="/app/">Found</a>.
You could also do it this way:
$ ssh -L 8080:localhost:4533 user@vpn-homelab-ip -J leonhardt@vps-ip (user@homelab) $
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 4 months ago:
According to the Pangolin docs it supports raw TCP and UDP connections.
For SSH you can also try to use the VPS as a jump host like this:
$ ssh user@vpn-homelab-ip -J user@vps-ip - Comment on Fear of 'being cringe' blamed for lack of dancing on nightclub dance floors 5 months ago:
You can keep your smartphone but they have you put stickers over the cameras before you are let in. If you remove them you might have a one-on-one session with Sven.
