I just said what works best for me. Use the command line and compose files if you want.

Yep, Debian and then add Portainer - for me this is the easiest setup to manage.

One of the few things that accursed software actually got right!

I just got my email 2 minutes ago!

I’m sorry, but that is an instance of separating the art from the artist, I really don’t care.

Don’t you tell me what I am isn’t

Vivaldi isn’t entirely open source, if that matters to you.

Brave would be my recommendation, I just disable the crypto stuff.

Please submit a third copy of that letter, but replace Windows with iOS, PC with iPhone, Microsoft with Apple, and Edge with Safari.

The miracle of creation

FOR THE COMMONWEALTH

Get a cheap VPS on digital ocean, and make a wireguard tunnel from there to your server. Then you don’t need any open ports on your home network

A laser would work better. Over vast distances, a giant mirror would eventually scatter the light, not to mention would be super inaccurate.

Speaking of inaccurate, even if we could shine a mirror or a laser, it could be millions of years until that light reaches any other civilization, then they would have to travel millions of lightyears to reach the point of origin of the “smoke signal”.

I say “point of origin” and not “Earth”, because our galaxy would have also travelled far from the spot we were in when we fired our laser. The Milky Way travels at over 2 million km/h, so even in a measly million years, that puts us over 2 trillion km from where we started. (see edit)

You can probably see where this is going.

I’m of the mind that we are undoubtedly not alone in the universe - the sheer scale and endlessness of it tells us that there are an infinite number of possibilities. There most likely are other worlds that formed and evolved in the exact same manner as ours, maybe even under conditions so perfect as to cause them to follow the exact same path as us.

Though the unfortunate truth is, we probably will never encounter another species. There could be an infinite number of ourselves, but we are forever separated by the ever expanding breadth of space and time.

EDIT:

My math was totally wrong, just realized that I was basing my estimates on how far our galaxy travels in an hour, not a year. The distance we travel in a million years would be closer to seventeen quadrillion five hundred twenty trillion kilometres.

It’s like getting mad at the highway department because drug smugglers use their roads.

It’s pretty easy to do, I set it up using this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlcVx-k-02E

They reduced the free option from 5 nodes to 3 a while back. Looks like only the people who had the 5 node license received that email.

Why are you manually running backups? Script it and run as a cron job

Yes, I use subdomains.

I pay for one domain name in Cloudflare (e.g. awesomedomain.com), and have a single “A” record pointing to the public IP of my server, and a single “CNAME” record with a value of * that points to awesomedomain.com.

That way, any subdomain gets directed to the server, and then you setup Nginx Proxy Manager to listen for certain subdomains and where to proxy them. No need to manage any further DNS records in Cloudflare, and any changes made on the proxy don’t need any wait time for DNS records to propagate.

Nginx Proxy Manager also handles automatic SSL certs through Let’s Encrypt - I really can’t recommend it enough.

Sounds like you don’t have port forwarding setup.

I highly recommend setting up Nginx Proxy Manager and using it as a reverse proxy.

I have lots of services, but using a reverse proxy means I only have to expose 2 ports (80 & 443) and then I can serve whatever I want, like Plex, over https without a relay.

Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you’re stuck using it if you want to play those titles.
