Reverse proxies can be useful for hiding your IP if you do something like host it in a VPS and tunnel the traffic back to your self hosted service. There’s also a lot of documentation on attaching things like fail2ban or crowd sec which can be helpful in reducing the threat from attacks. if you’re running lots of services it can reduce the risk of two apps using the same ports as ultimately everything will go through ports 80 and 443 on the public facing side. Finally again if you’re hosting several services having a central place to manage and deal with cert from can save a lot of time rather than having to wrangle it per service/ server.

Yeah it’s still here.

This is incredible. They’ve finally made an AI as good at chess as me.

You don’t have to get a rackmount server or even purpose built server at all. My lab at the moment consists of a stack of old HP desktops that I stuffed a bunch of memory and drives in. Regardless my recommendation would be to get a separate box to run things on as it makes things easier to deal with in the long run I find.

Main things you’ll want from the box is memory and storage. CPU is not as important in a single user environment.

Under delivering yet again Sean. I want my deaf children!

Some say that to this day the weasel is still there being accelerated ever closer to the speed of light.

It just won’t be the same without Raul Julia giving the most hammy performance of his career.

I’ll take off them off your hands Elon. $20 for the lot.

Sure but no one is going to come in to my home and take my physical books away in the same way that can happen with online digital services.

I’m still not convinced the BIMI is all that useful as email security. Feels more like a marketing exercise to me but I am in an exclusively B2B org so it probaly doesn’t matter as much.

I reckon doing what Norway does and just tax them by the weight of the vehicle to to discourage people buying them while alps making those that do pay for the extra wear and tear in the roads they cause.

The folding at home folks have been going for a very long time now and that’s contributed a lot to various fields of medicine over the years.

Can you mount SMB shares in unprivliged containers? I thought that was blocked.

Can the host itself write to the file share? You can check this by trying to create a file in it via the host’s shell. If it can’t write to it the container won’t be able to either.

Yup I’ve got a box in my mum’s house that all my off site backups go to and it’s a damn site cheaper just to give her some money for the electricity cost of it each month than pay for any cloud service.

You can pry my gen8 hp microserver from my cold, dead hands.

No I think the UK beat them by a few years but they had them in planes earlier.

Broadly no but there are some tlds that are controlled entirely by certain entities that don’t allow use by people other than them, governments being most if not all of these. Also some countries will only allow residents/citizens to use that nation’s tld.

Honestly I think the trick for valve there would just be to release a build of steam OS people can install themselves into desktops (if they don’t already) and just have folks building their own machine for TV pc use.

Either ignore like I do or add a self signed cert to trusted root and use that for your services. Will work fine unless you’re letting external folks access your self hosted stuff.
