Yeah, it’s not at all an optimal waffle. It’s more a cool math meme waffle. ;3

- Comment on What us the best way to add remote access to my servers? 7 hours ago:
The moment you get a TLS cert, it’ll show up in Certificate Transparency logs and apparently the attack bots scan that for targets.
- Comment on Using VPS for remote access of my server - some questions 20 hours ago:
You can totally do that yeah!
We have our stuff set up so inbound VPS traffic (for HTTPS) comes in on port 4430, while LAN traffic is on 443. It’s not done for firewall reasons, it’s so we can pass the client’s IP through with Nginx’s proxy_protocol feature, but you could just make your local-only services not listen on 4430. Boom, done.
Fail2Ban on the VPS is probably good. On the home server, it might just lock out the VPS (since everything comes from there).
Anyway yeah, I’ve got a whole guide on this sort of setup! …brightfur.net/…/selfhosting-with-a-bounce-vps-pa…

- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 21 hours ago:
Look, between the “let’s not do anything at all” party and the “wants us, specifically, dead” party, I’ll take the “let’s not do anything at all” party.
You don’t have to 100% like everything a given party is doing to recognize that they’re the least bad option. Sure, they aren’t really actively good, but a vote for them is a vote against the people who want to kill us. (And voting third party is just tossing your vote in the garbage, unfortunately.)

- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 22 hours ago:
Honestly, IMO it’s by definition real because we’re all here and experiencing it.
Even if it is a simulation (I personally don’t think it is, but wouldn’t really mind if it were) that doesn’t make it less real. It’s still our reality, after all.
I can’t prove to you that I exist, of course. But like, who cares about “actual existence” anyway? I’m clearly here and talking to you. Even if I were a simulation NPC or “just in your head”, I’m no less real. Probably the more important thing is that I can’t prove I’m not an unthinking NPC just following a program.
Then again, Occam’s Razor. It’d be weird if you were the only one who was actually thinking and everyone else was just mindless NPCs. It’s way more likely that we all exist and think independently (whether that be in a simulation or otherwise, doesn’t really matter).

- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 1 day ago:
Man, it’s so weird to think about misogynistic/degrading/abusive porn existing. I’m used to furry porn which, generally, is much more positive “yay let’s do [insert rule 34 of literally anything you could possibly think of] and have a great time!” type stuff.
