Ok, so, do you agree with it? Or do you think that Notepad++ has demonstrated a good commitment to doing the right thing that means it’s still just as worthy of recommendation as it was last month?

Not my choice. But higher ups.

Ok, but your comment pretty clearly expressed an implied agreement with that choice.

Perhaps, but I’m describing something slightly different. Your description is basically “one platform supporting two protocols that basically do the same thing”. I’m talking more about “one app that has two separate-but-related bits of functionality, each using the more appropriate protocol for that job”.

I really like the idea of donating to a broader consortium, like the NLNet that’s suggested already, specifically because they give donations to less consumer-facing elements that might be less likely to attract direct funding.

Other than that though, I’d say donate to the things that (a) you already use a lot, and which (b) seem most in need of funding. If it’s big and famous and fairly stable without significant ongoing costs, it’s probably not as important to donate to. If it’s niche, needs a lot of development to add useful features or polish, or has significant ongoing costs (e.g. servers), that would be a higher priority. Evaluate based on whatever balance of those factors you choose.

Exactly. Conservatism is not really very strongly correlated with age, controlled for other factors. But it is correlated with various things that are themselves correlated with age. Like wealth. And family status.

Got my bike serviced on Tuesday. It desperately needed it. Turned out the seatpost was literally collapsing! Cost me a pretty penny, but it’s so nice having a bike back in good condition.

Have also just started sorting the logistics to play Jet Lag: Hide + Seek (a city-wide hide & seek game played using public transport—see !nebula@lemmy.world for more) in late April. Am very excited.

Sounds like you need to upgrade your toaster, noob.

I mean, there’s nothing technically stopping one app supporting both protocols natively, especially since Lemmy already includes a field for people’s profiles to link their Matrix ID. Though to my knowledge none do it yet.

Fair enough! It’s your meal, and even if it were completely uncontroversial that beans need to be in chilli, if you don’t like beans you don’t include them!

What, why not beans? I know beans was a meme on Lemmy a while back, but it’s a legit part of a chilli recipe.

Serious question.

Huh?

Personally I think if LW wants to ban a certain kind of content, more power to them. But they should be transparent about it.

If they’ve said they’ll unban pirate content, then pirate content should be allowed. If they want it banned, fine, but make a statement clarifying that that is the case.

OP is doing good work by pointing this out.

Your 142.x.x.x will be your public IP address. All devices on your network share that public IP. They all have a unique private IP address too, accessible only on your network. It probably starts with 192.168.x.x, but it could be 10.x.x.x or even less likely 172.16–31.x.x.

If you want to operate a web server that users can go to by typing https://youdomain.com/, you’ll need to forward from ports 80 and 443 through to the internal IP address of your server, using the “port forwarding” settings on your router. What port on the internal IP you route to depends on how your server is configured. But a basic default configuration is fairly likely to be 80 and 443, too.

Since you have a reverse proxy, all traffic from your router should go to that. Then you use that to send the appropriate traffic to the appropriate server based on whatever rules you want to apply. (e.g. siteone.mydomain.com goes to server 1, sitetwo.mydomain.com goes to server 2, or mydomain.com/siteone goes to server 1, etc.).

I also would love to know what the subculture was.

But IMO no, you’re not immature. I think it’s only natural.

Personally, I get sad just hearing stories like this. About subcultures, or communities, or groups, or websites, or games, that people used to love and get joy out of no longer being around because they died or faded away over time. That sense of loss makes me sad even when I had nothing to do with the community.

Oh good tip!

That’s a pretty righteous set up OP.

Lol not me. I’m not the author. Just saw the article and thought it was an interesting conversation starter.

or a recipe for an insecure mess that could become difficult to maintain

The concept, or the specific setup the author of that article has? If you mean the latter, I’m not going to argue. But the concept? It shouldn’t have any effect either way on security, but the whole advantage of it is that it’s less of a mess. The same way that running a whole bunch of services on bare metal can quickly become a mess compared to VMs or Docker/LX containers, declared state helps give a single source of truth for what all the services you might be running are. It lets you make changes in repeatable and clearly documented ways, so you can never be left wondering “how did I do that before?” if you need to do it again.

If everything you run is a Docker container, there’s a good chance Terraform is overkill; a Kubernetes config will probably do the job. But depending on your setup there are a whole bunch of different tools that might be useful.

What’s your preferred approach to defined state in your home servers?

Oh, I used HA to mean high availability. I was not aware people also abbreviated Home Assistant.

Sorry for the late reply. I’m just disorganised and have way too many unread notifications.

LXC containers sound really interesting, especially on a machine that’s hosting a lot of services. But how available are they? One advantage of Docker is its ubiquity, with a lot of useful tools already built as Docker images. Does LXC have a similarly broad supply of images? Or else is it easy to create one yourself?

Re VM vs LXC, have I got this right? You generally use VMs only for things that are intermittently spun up, rather than services you keep running all the time, with a couple of exceptions like HomeAssistant? What’s the reason they’re an exception?

Possibly related: your examples are all that VMs get access to the discrete GPU, containers use the integrated GPU. Is there a particular reason for that distribution?

I’m really curious about the cluster thing too. How simple is that? Is it something where you could start out just using an old spare laptop, then later add a dedicated server and have it transparently expand the power of your server? Or is the advantage just around HA? Or something else?
