- Comment on NixOS and/or TrueNAS - What are your experiences? 1 day ago:
I haven’t tried TrueNAS, but I use NixOS for my NAS and my other servers. It’s perfect for servers imo since it’s essentially a Linux system builder that you can customize to add whatever you want to your system.
The downside is that you’ll have to learn a weird functional programming language, especially when you get into writing service modules yourself (for services that don’t have an upstream module). And it’ll take some time to get familiar with it and learn how to effectively write your configuration.

- Comment on Cloudflare wants Google to change its AI search crawling. Google likely won’t. 1 week ago:
Google’s bot is fine in my book, their crawler doesn’t absolutely blast your server with web requests like other AI crawlers do. (Speaking of, I need to update my list of netblocks and UAs to get iocaine-holed.)
That said, two evil megacorps potentially fighting? I hope they kill each other.

This is why Youtube Music lasted a total of one day of me testing it a while ago (this was when I had Premium for a while and figured might as well test it). Insane to have a scroll view that expands as you scroll down instead of a fixed-size list.

- Comment on Study: US kids who said their social media, phone, or video game use was “addictive” were 2x-3x more likely to have thoughts of suicide or self-harm by age 14 4 weeks ago:
Oh gee I wonder why depressed kids are increasingly online where they are more free to express themselves, in a society where mental health problems are very stigmatized and confiding in someone that you want to kill yourself can get you imprisoned.
Also, related post on the general concept of internet addiction and
gamblingsocial media addiction.going to bat for the concept of internet addiction as someone under 80 is spectacularly funny
damn people are spending a lot of time on the combination newspaper/public square/vast searchable library of incomprehensible amounts of information/storefront/private communications/some people’s actual job technology. presumably there is some nefarious Scary Pathological Aspect to this,
Imagine if you called gambling addiction “addiction to going outside” and doomed the discourse to constantly bounce between “ok SOME outside activities are bad, you need to have a good relationship with how you interact” and “theres nothing wrong with going outside dumbass”
“gambling addiction” is an invention of the gambling industry leveraged to pathologise the human misery inflicted on purpose as part of their business model and divert discussions of that misery and suffering away from regulatory and political interventions that could prevent that harm and towards biomedicalized management of those experiencing that (again–foreseeable, inevitable, industry-working-as-intended) harm

It’s a thing in Bavaria as well. I’m trying to erase it from my vocabulary because I hate it too.

- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Hm, okay, that does sound like the real client IP will get lost and every connection will appear to come from the proxy then. It would be good if that were passed somehow. My current setup adds the X-Forwarded-For header for example.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Oh interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Is this with that “proxy protocol” I’ve seen mentioned? If not, does this preserve it pass through the client socket address?
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Tbf, technically data is still decrypted at the reverse proxy and then re-encrypted. So if someone manages to reconfigure the proxy or read its memory somehow they could read traffic in plain text.
However then since they have to control the VPS, they could also get a new cert for that domain (at least the way I’ve configured it) even if it was passed as is to the real host via a tunnel and read the plaintext data that way, so I don’t think a tunnel protects against anything.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
If someone manages to get root (!) access on this VPS it’s over either way.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 1 month ago:
Yes, you can just use a reverse proxy for IPv4 only and point it to the IPv6 upstream. That is what I do, with a separate DNS record which then combines the two. See the DNS records for id.knifepoint.net (CNAME), http.vineta.knifepoint.net (AAAA, A) and vineta.knifepoint.net (AAAA).

I’ve started doing this recently. It’s fun, I’m also scanning the album covers and manually typing in the lyrics from the booklet in the CD in addition to all the other track metadata haha
- Comment on What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? 1 month ago:
Two different rDNS names, for stuff that uses it. For example if you want to run mail and an IRC bouncer under different domain names.

- Comment on Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ... 1 month ago:
Tbh I haven’t had too many problems with Postfix – however it is certainly a footgun and it would be nice to have fewer parts to connect together, and better defaults. I might try it out, it looks interesting.
- Comment on Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ... 1 month ago:
From its web page it sounds like it is both a MTA and MDA, has a built-in spam filter, plus has calendar, contacts and file storage. Do you know how it compares to my current setup of Postfix, Dovecot, and rspamd (and Nextcloud for the others)?
- Comment on After a lengthy legal battle and billion-dollar loss, 'Fortnite' is back on iOS 1 month ago:
But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they’re going to be happy without the apple experience?
The Apple experience = locked down devices? If people (and Apple) stopped fearmongering about “security” or whatever, yeah they would, or at worst they wouldn’t care. I’d certainly welcome being able to publish apps on my terms, and being able to install what I want.
Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.
That’s exactly the point. You don’t have to use the parts of a theoretical more open ecosystem if you don’t want to, you can keep using exclusively the official Apple stuff. But it creates more choice for the user if it exists.
