  • How often do you update your apps?

    Jump

  • My Linux laptop is set to check for updates daily, which I then apply manually when I notice the tray icon. I sometimes procrastinate when it comes to reboots though.

    My Android phone is on auto-update, which seems to mean whenever it's being charging for a few hours (so typically when charging overnight). Because the battery is still pretty good and I don't need to charge daily, that comes down to once every 2-3 nights or so.

    My personal Linux servers (which run my self-hosted apps) are configured to automatically apply all updates (and reboot if necessary afterwards) at the time of day I'm most likely to be awake and available to manually fix stuff if anything goes wrong. The Docker-containers that run on them mostly get auto-updated to the latest version every 6 hours by Watchtower. A few containers have more cautious policies though, ranging from pinning a major version (but auto-upgrading to new minor versions within that) to pinning a specific version and at most sending a notification if there's an update. The latter is limited to stuff that has broken before and/or where newer releases are known to be buggy or incompatible.

    When it comes to major updates (i.e. new distro releases) of my Linux machines, I typically wait about a month before upgrading because I've been bitten by release-day bugs before.

  • I know this isn't exactly self-hosted, but does anyone have experience with this?

  • No idea about the Lemmy hosting bit, but I highly doubt that .com you got will renew at $1 going forward. Judging by this list it'll most likely be $9+ after the first year.

    At $1/year, the registrar you used is taking a loss because they pay more than that to the registry for it. They might be fine with that for the first year to get you in the door, but they'd presumably prefer to be profitable in the long term.

  • The solution is to post about your campaign to Lemmy so internet randos can meme about it

  • Clearly he's actually the BBEG lich in disguise. Time for a phylactery hunt! ;)

  • Have you also enabled Bot Fight Mode? (There's a setting to "Block AI bots" that seems useful in your situation)

  • Republicans ask Supreme Court to block 40,000 Arizonans from voting in November

    Jump

  • In Europe I get a voting pass sent in the mail for every election. To vote I have to show both this pass and a valid ID.

    In the Netherlands it doesn't even have to be a valid ID. If it hasn't been expired for more than 5 years it's fine for voting purposes.

  • What is the worst IT setup you have seen at a company?

    Jump

  • You don't actually have to set all the modification dates to now, you can pick any other timestamp you want. So to preserve the order of the files, you could just have the script sort the list of files by date, then update the modification date of the oldest file to some fixed time ago, the second-oldest to a bit later, and so on.

    You could even exclude recently-edited files because the real modification dates are probably more relevant for those. For example, if you only process files older than 3 months, and update those starting from "6 months old"1, that just leaves remembering to run that script at least once a year or so. Just pick a date and put a recurring reminder in your calendar.

    1: I picked 6 months there to leave some slack, in case you procrastinate your next run or it's otherwise delayed because you're out sick or on vacation or something.

  • Forgot to pay my domain for a year and now I have to spend £2200 ($3000) if I want to get it back

    Jump

  • If you don't mind using a gibberish .xyz domain, why not an 1.111B class? (6-9 digits.xyz for $0.99/year)

  • Docker network internet access

    Jump

  • Any chance you've defined the new networks as "internal"? (using docker network create --internal on the CLI or internal: true in your docker-compose.yaml).

    Because the symptoms you're describing (no connectivity to stuff outside the new network, including the wider Internet) sound exactly like you did, but didn't realize what that option does...

  • Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.

    Jump

  • It also means that ALL traffic incoming on a specific port of that VPS can only go to exactly ONE private wireguard peer. You could avoid both of these issues by having the reverse proxy on the VPS (which is why cloudflare works the way it does), but I prefer my https endpoint to be on my own trusted hardware.

    For TLS-based protocols like HTTPS you can run a reverse proxy on the VPS that only looks at the SNI (server name indication) which does not require the private key to be present on the VPS. That way you can run all your HTTPS endpoints on the same port without issue even if the backend server depends on the host name.

    This StackOverflow thread shows how to set that up for a few different reverse proxies.

  • Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall

    Jump

  • And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

    The numeric value of the '1' character (the ASCII code / Unicode code point representing the digit) is 49. Add 2 to it and you get 51.

    C (and several related languages) will do the same if you evaluate '1' + 2.

  • Of course

    Jump

  • Fun fact: apparently on x86 just MOV all by itself is Turing-complete, without even using it to produce self-modifying code (paper, C compiler).

  • Do you find anything remarkable?

    Jump

  • It's the right-most one, partially hiding behind the T in HEIMAT.

  • Just how secure are the various reverse proxy options?

    Jump

  • If there happens to be some mental TLS handshake RCE that comes up, chances are they are all using the same underlying TLS library so all will be susceptible…

    Among common reverse proxies, I know of at least two underlying TLS stacks being used:

    • Nginx uses OpenSSL.
      • This is probably the one you thought everyone was using, as it's essentially considered to be the "default" TLS stack.
    • Caddy uses crypto/tls from the Go standard library (which has its own implementation, it's not just a wrapper around OpenSSL).
      • This is in all likelihood also the case for Traefik (and any other Go-based reverse proxies), though I did not check.

  • No standard abbreviation exists for nautical miles but definitely don’t use nm because newton metres

    Since as you mentioned Newtons are N not n, Newton meters are Nm. nm means nanometer.

  • Which one do you prefer? htop, btop or top?

  • Have you considered putting alias htop=btop (or equivalent) in your shell profile?

  • It's nice in theory, but I've had very little luck using it for the last few days.

    I wouldn't be surprised if whatever instances it picks to send people to are soon afterwards rate limited because demand is too high relative to supply.

  • The (short) story of how the SSH port became 22.

    Jump

  • If this is something you run into often, it's likely still only for a limited number of servers? ssh and scp both respect .ssh/config, and I suspect (but haven't tested) that sftp does too. If you add something like this to that file:

     
        
Host host1 host2
  Port 8080

    then SSH connections to hosts named in that first line will use port 8080 by default and you can leave off the -p/-P when contacting those hosts. You can add multiple such sections if you have other hosts that require different ports, of course.

  • Aurora is no longer maintained, but it still works just fine. It's a Windows app, so not web-accessible or anything, but it's free. It only contains the SRD content by default (probably for legal reasons), but there's at least one publicly-accessible elements repository for it that you can find using your favorite search engine.
