Have you tried emptying your lungs? It sounds crazy, but you actually don’t have to completely fill your lungs with air, just enough so that you can last a good while underwater and so that you’re no longer buoyant. It takes some practice, and you might panic a little bit at first, but once you get used to that, it just becomes second nature.

The only times I hold as much air as possible are when I’m trying apneas (holding my breath as long as possible), but I stay near the surface for that and I remain inmobile. (Also, make sure there’s more people with you and that you’re signing that you’re fine)

I’d say UTC-6. Mostly because that’s where I and most of the people I know live. However, It’s a bit limiting, only 3 big countries and some pacific Islands.

My second choice would be UTC 0, because I think it covers a lot of land

Why precisely would you seek such a thing my friend?

I believe this quest of yours is doomed to failure. May I advice you against following this path, for it will lead to a magnific waste of thy precious time.

Let us hope that you’ll find a better way to quench your troubles, and may thy attitude towards your fellow neighbour change, for what you seek to do is rather vicious.

I go camping with my girlfriend during winter solstice. We started going a couple of years ago and kept doing it, now it’s something of a tradition.

Heck yeah!

Me too! Sometimes I forget that I can participate in the discussion and even post cool stuff I’m doing. After all, that’s the whole point of this kind of community.

Asking for a friend?

I can read to, but the text changes each time I read it.

Nah

I was already on Mastodon when the API price increase thing happened on reddit and my favourite client (infinity) became useless. I wasn’t going to use the bloat-fest that is the reddit app, so I switched to Lemmy in “protest”. Now I’m using eternity (a fork of infinity) and I have found a place in this community where I’m incredibly happy. I’m never going back to that shithole and I don’t miss anything from there. There’s a lot of karma-farming and every single person there reads exactly the same. There’s no real discourse. The only times I use it (and through a web browser) is when I’m looking for solutions to some tech-related issue, and that is, if I haven’t found the solution here already.

Please do! Good luck!

How to drown with your own blood. Whomever came up with that one definitely knew and was just pulling a prank or something

I also have my domain with cloudflare, try checking the DNS menu there and create an A level record pointing to your server’s public ip address

Definitely!

You get to learn a lot, and most importantly, you become self suficient and free. No need to depend on corporations to manage your services, because you can do that yourself.

Want your own cloud? Just run and configure nextcloud on your server :D

Want your own personal blog? Make it yourself!

It’s so fun!

I’d love to see your website btw!

Yeah! That’s cool, I haven’t had any issues so far.

Everyday I get a bunch of logs of bots trying to access files and folders that don’t exist. It seems that they are targeting wordpress sites because all the files start with ‘wp-’ for example, some tried to access ‘wp-admin/credentials’, but since my site isn’t wordpress I’m not worried. Besides, I’m pretty sure that I could implement some rules on the firewall or even on nginx to block access to said directories by (for example) redirecting them to a different page.

I’m learning docker now. I found a whole video about the reverse proxy capabilities of nginx and docker, so I’ll be checking that out.

My goal is to have my own homelab and expose some services to the internet, or maybe even set up my own vpn so that I may access and configure things on my network from somewhere else.

I’m still struggling with the port forward thingie, and while Cloudflare tunnels are a nice thing to have, they protect me too much. I want a public IP address that I can use and register on a DNS, or ssh directly into my network from anywhere in the world. As I mentioned, I want to be able to shoot myself in the foot without actually doing so, (hopefully).

Yeah, it was kinda scary. I had never hosted anything online, and all of the sudden I get bombarded with scans and attacks from everywhere.

But I know I can’t lose anything important, and that this is expected on the internet.

It was just, uh… You know the feeling when someone tells you something is heavy, then they give it to you, and it’s a bit heavier than you expected? And they go: “I told you it was heavy”. And it’s not a big deal, because in the end you just adjust your strenght to match that weight. But there’s that one second of realisation where you go “ooop! What’s this?”. Yeah, it was kinda that.

Thanks! I’ll keep all of that in mind. I knew there were a lot of bots and scripts running rampant on the internet, but I was really surprised when I put my website online and suddendly became a target.

It’s good to know I’m not really at risk and that this is expected. I’ll try to learn more about cybersecurity
