-Webbrowsers: Am I a joke to you?_

But yeah, that was my exact “malicious compliance” interpretation, too

My current setup for this:

I own a domain - say homelab.com - and use it exclusively in my internal network.

The public DNS records do only resolve to 127.0.0.1 (as my domain holster doesn’t want me to have no A record).

In my home network I have a pihole running that resolves this domain and it’s subdomains locally (say pihole.homelab.com, proxmox.homelab.com and so on).

For HTTPs: As this server is not publicly reachable, I use the DNS API of my domain host to get a let’s encrypt certificate with the DNS-01 challenge. That way, the internal systems do not need to be exposed to the internet.

Back when Nebula offered a lifetime subscription for a few days, I was debating myself if it’d be worth it. So far, I still have paid more in advance for it than if I had just subscribed monthly/yearly, but I absolutely don’t regret getting it.

They basically used runes in a newsletter for a promotion of a game that “rendered unfavorably on some devices”. Whether it’s a QA error or if it was intentional with “plausible deniability” was debated everywhere a few weeks ago.

I don’t have an 8bitdo controller but I experienced many games being quite picky on Windows, too.

Oh, you accidentally had the sound set to your speakers instead of the head set? Too bad, well ignore that you switched the sound output. Oh, you connected/woke the controller after starting the game? Too bad. Won’t work. Etc.

I experienced way less of this shit since I switched to Linux…

Where do I sign up?

Yes and…no?

A server often refers a piece of (virtual) hardware, that has some software running that serves content or services to you, usually over the network/internet. It also often means that it’s running and accessible 24/7.

It can also refer to a piece of software that serves those services/content that you can install anywhere. A game server e.g. might be provided by the game publisher for online play, but you could also be able to connect to a private server that’s ran by you or your friend (e.g. Minecraft allows that) or that only runs on your PC for local network play. Webserver fall into this meaning - they are just a piece of software that speak the protocols use on the internet and serve you webpages. In theory you can run them anywhere.

Tip:

For my cloud vps with Caddy and several containers I just pointed Caddy at a simple Caddyfile /opt/caddy/Caddyfile that globally sets up some basic things (like tls config for Let’s encrypt with email address and such) followed by import sites-enabled/*

So every container gets a Caddyfile in /opt/caddy/sites-available/app.caddyfile (or wherever) and that one gets just linked to /opt/caddy/sites-enabled/.

Now it’s easy to change the config of an app and only that one app.
