- Comment on Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address? 1 day ago:
No.
Let’s Encrypt checks if you have control over the server the name eventually leads to, usually by providing you with a token that you put on your server for retrieval. The way there, including the IP, is irrelevant.

These people have no clue how to get around these DNS filters.
But not thanks to the virtue of some effective blocking but just a lack of knowledge of the average user…
I have used several of those cheap routers over the years. And they simply can’t block you from using encrypted DNS (unless they want to create giant blocklists and want to play wack-a-mole with DNS servers…).
So all they usually do is very low tech like ignoring the DNS you set in the router configuration and reroute it (or not providing such configuration in the first place). But they can effectively ony do so with unencrypted DNS.
With encrypted DNS they could at best try to block the default port used by DNSoverTLS but that still leaves DoH. And they can’t block that because it’s just regular encrypted HTTPS traffic (with the DNS quesry inside).
Iirc even Windows nowdays allows easy configuration of DoH nowadays (and for much longer if you were ready to edit the registry) where you can simply chose between unencrypted, DoH only or encryption preferred if available.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 3 days ago:
The only thing they can realistically harcode is the DNS server their router’s DHCP provides.
Just configure devices to not use that setting, also use DoH or DoT (which you should do anyway, not just to circumvent your router’s settings).
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 3 days ago:
make sure all of your devices are secure using encrypted DNS and encrypted traffic
Which is so easy it really should be the default nowadays yet sadly isn’t.
- Comment on What is Radicale and how do I use it? 1 week ago:
Take a look at the config file (
/etc/radicale/config). It’s extensively commented. Although you barely need to change any defaults for regular use.Just create an htpasswd file (with htpsswd, apache-tools or just an online generator) and edit tow lines und [auth] to read
type = htpasswdandhtpasswd_filename = <the location and file you created>.The webinterface to login will be available (by default settings) under localhost:5232.
All you have to do then is change the config so Radicale listens on the server’s IP instead so it’s available in in your network. (Plus the usual stuff of making it available from the outside if you need that like for any other sevice)
And any calendar/contact software will bring a wizard that guides you through the process of sync’ing, usually just asking for an address to reach your server, as well as user and password.
- Comment on What is Radicale and how do I use it? 1 week ago:
With radicale, do I need to install some other somewhere in order to use it?
No, you just need to install Radicale. That’s it. calDAV and cardDAV are widely used formats available as an option with basically any calendar.
Can a self hosted calendar still send and receive invites to other calendars?
Oh, I see your problem. You don’t host your calendar. You host a service that is used to synchronise all the regular calendars you already use over different devices.

Same as the ergonomic mouse. Natural poses are less stressful.
Which means palms facing each other instead of facing down in one case, and hands should-wide apart with relaxed shoulders instead hunching in the other.

It should be +/-∞
Minus or plus depending on the side from which you approach the limes.

Half of those setups make zero practical sense and are only there because someone thought symmetry would look cool.

- Comment on Reproducible alternatives to nextcloud? 1 month ago:
Being lazy and having update-related issues with nextcloud too often for my taste I went back to the basics (as that’s all I actually use 99% of the time) with Syncthing for file syncing and Radicale for caldav/carddav.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly #152: Wrapped 2 months ago:
“Users will stop suggesting Linux as a realistic alternative to Windows for non-technical users”
Then their the users will be wrong.
Non-technical users don’t have any problems with Linux as an alternative. They don’t know nor care what is running on their PC as long as they can click on icons opening the handful of basic programs they actually use.
It’s the pseudo-technical users that think their constant MS indoctrination means they are the pinacle of PC users that are the problem.

- Comment on Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing? 3 months ago:
I really love all my various Pis but at the moment there are so many refurbished servers available (thank Windows 11) as well as several small form factor x86 PCs that a Raspberry Pi 5 sadly is on the lower end of performance/cost.
- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 3 months ago:
Will we need to log in every morning and expect to refresh every damn site cert we connect to soon?
Certbots by default checks twice a day if it’s old enough to be be due for a renewal… So a change from 90 to 1 day will in practice make no difference already…

- Comment on Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud 3 months ago:
Nectcloud has always been incredible slow for me. (And that’s beside other issues like updates failing more often than succeeding…)
And as I was using it mostly for basic filesharing between my machines and as a CalDAV/CardDAV server I replaced it with Syncthing and Radicale now.

Unless you use modern artillery. Then you want to aim ever higher because at those ranges/heights it’s beneficial to reach less dense air layers quickly.

I just saw that bind now comes with tls support (for quite some time actually…), which was the reason I originally went with unbound instead. So I guess I have an excuse to look at it again… 😀

So one in five doesn’t do proper backups. That’s much better than expected… 😅
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 6 months ago:
Isn’t that the whole point of containerised solutions? Having some pre-setup, auto-updating solution with very little requirement to dive into the details like what your database is and which dependencies you need to manage…
- Comment on Le Penguini 7 months ago:
But the bear referenced there is not the animal but the constellation…
Arctic = towards the bear, so north
Antarctic = the opposite (=ant[i]) direction
- Comment on Le Penguini 7 months ago:
“Arktos” is greek for bear.
The arctis is the region towards the bear, meaning the constellation so north… while the antarctis is the opposite direction (ant(i) = opposite).

- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 year ago:
130% production on average, with excess being stored, minus losses in conversions, transport and storage = 100% demand covered all the time.
Or the longer version: For a stable grid I need to cover 100% of the demand in next to real-time. This can be achieved with enough long- and short-term storage, plus some overproduction to account for storage losses. The 115% to 130% production (compared to actual demand) are based on studies for Germany and vary by scenario, with the higher number for the worst case (people strongly resisting all changes to better balance consumption and south Germany keeping up there resistence to diversify by only building solar while blocking wind power).
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 year ago:
Why is nuclear+short term storage not an option
Because cold winter days exist. Yes you can only build nuclear capacities for the average day and then short-term storage to match the demand pattern. But you would need to do so for the day(s) of the year with the highest energy demand, a cold winter day. What do you do with those capacities the remaining year as throttling nuclear down is not really saving much costs (most lie in construction and deconstruction)?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 year ago:
How much renewable production, and bess, does one need to achieve 90% grid uptime? Or 99% grid uptime?
About 115% to 130%. Depending on diversification of renewable sources and locations. The remains are losses in storage and transport obviously.
But shouldn’t you actual question be: How much storage is needed?
For a quick summary of those questions you can look [here](file:///tmp/mozilla_daniel0/Fraunhofer-ISE-Study-Paths-to-a-Climate-Neutral-Energy-System-1.pdf) for example…
