If you’re behind a CG NAT (carrier grade NAT), you’ll be doubly in trouble as it will be essentially impossible to get a forwarded port since your “IP” is essentially a LAN address within your ISP’s CG NAT, if that makes sense.

For some reason I just got a flashback to that football kid who tried to steal crab legs by putting them down his pants. I’m just imagining these thieves walking out with 40 tons of beef overflowing from their pants.

Apple seeks search partner, must have $20 billion

If this penalty sticks, Apple could be looking for a new suitor. Something has to be the default search provider in Safari and other Apple products.

Does something really have to replace it? Why not a menu of options? Make the user choose something. If they choose Google, great! If they choose DDG, fantastic! Whatever it is, make it a choice.

I can’t remember the original version of the comic, what does each one of them say?

Direct from the Cloudflare blog

This was part of the 2.24.0 update that was put out 2025-02-02.

The functionality was replaced with the share button, which has had improved functionality added (sharing on the user’s home instance, sharing on the OP’s home instance, or sharing on the community’s home instance). To open in the browser, you can share and then open in your browser.

Yeah it could be argued that Fastmail is less private than alternatives, but they make a damn good service. Plus email shouldn’t be used for secure communication anyways.

These can be turned off. Not great that they’re on by default, but you gotta pay the bills somehow right?

There is no Eragon movie ಥ_ಥ

I’m an idiot and never linked the link

1. I got started with a guide from these guys back in 2020. I still use traefik as my reverse proxy and Authelia for authentication and it has worked great all this time. As someone else said, everything is in containers on the one host and it is super easy this way. It all runs on a single box using containers for separation. I should probably look into a secondary server as a live backup, but that’s a lot of work / expense. I have a Cloudflare dynamic DNS container running for that.
2. I would definitely advocate for owning your own domain, for the added use case of owning your own email addresses. I can now switch email providers and don’t have to worry about losing anything. This would also lean towards a more memorable domain, or at least a second domain that is memorable. Stay away from the country TLDs or “cute” generic TLDs and stay with a tried and true .com or .net (which may take some searching).
3. I don’t bother with this, I just run my server behind Cloudflare, and let them protect my server. Some might disagree, but it’s easy for me and I like that.
4. Containers, containers, containers! Probably Docker since it’s easy, but Podman if you really want to get fancy / extra secure. Also, make sure you have a git repo for your compose files, and a solid backup strategy from the start (so much easier than going back and doing it later). I use Backblaze for my backups and it’s $2/month for some peace of mind.
5. Do it!!!

We got one of these hoodies for our dog, and I think he might actually like wearing it, and he hates most clothes

I’m sure there is more than one mom and pop outfit using them who thought they were just “new quick books”. I would certainly feel sorry for people who are swindled by con men, and this feels the same to me.

A Ford F-150. Where I live it just makes sense for every family to have one truck, so I have the truck while my wife has the more sensible / fuel efficient Honda.

I have a Glorious custom keyboard and it’s pretty nice. Heavy, types well, and “luxurious” feeling. All that being said, most days I just use my Logitech MX Mechanical Mini (basically a 65% with some Logitech-proprietary low-profile brown switches), and enjoy it immensely. I would recommend that if you just want something zero frills and will be a great keyboard for years to come.

Yep we’ve got a large utensil drawer

Scenario 5: put it all in one big long docker-compose.yml and cross your fingers that docker isolation does its job.

E: definitely not what I do, no siree

Which is only possible because of this magic technology to let you see and talk in near real time to anyone, anywhere. Used to be that if your sibling / parent / other family member wasn’t in town, you couldn’t see them in real time at any time, usually just a single / couple times a year at holidays.

Sure calling was a thing, but it’s just different when you can see someone.
