I’m looking into Technitium, which doesn’t get a ton of attention here. It looks to be much more feature packed than PiHole (DNS over HTTPS, for example), and similar to AdGuard Home.

Um, what does that even mean?

Edit: Looks like it runs a VM. So some overhead, but still cool.

How is it set up? What are you running it on?

My Nextcloud instance doesn’t use a ton of resources. But I’m on a somewhat beefy machine (16GB RAM, 8-core CPU), so YMMV.

I’m playing with it now. So far so good, after a rocky setup.

Wouldn’t that just screw over insurance companies?

Why nationalize it? Surely treating Starlink like a utility and putting it under an independent org would be better, no? Keep politics out of it and let ISPs pay for access like how MVNOs like Mint Mobile work, except prevent the entity that owns it from providing service directly.

Yup. As always, do backups for anything important. Semver is certainly helpful in communicating scope of changes.

Probably Microsoft.

Don’t trust Semantic Versioning claims, devs can and so screw it up. That said, if they claim to follow semver, it’ll probably work, but I’ve had patch versions break my code before.

Hmm, what does localhost.local do if you use mdns?

Also, your router must be a bit confusing:

• localhost - 192.168.1.2
• localhost - 192.168.1.3
• …

If they’re using Linux, they should be fine. Most desktops don’t use a ton of RAM, and there are light desktops if that’s their issue.

If they’re running vanilla Minecraft with a handful of friends, just hosting the server should be fine. Mods are where things get ridiculous.

Yeah, I’m calling BS on this. I searched for “anal sex” and got a few links to common porn sites. Doesn’t seem to have safe search enabled.

Yeah, it’s a cool toy, but when I was picking a messenger to sell my SO on, Simplex failed my basic requirements:

• works on phone, desktop and laptop (messages arrive everywhere reliably)

Signal passed, so we went with that.

Simplex is still rad though, and I want to try building something on top of the protocol. I’m working on a P2P Reddit/Lemmy, and Simplex could be rad for DMs or something.

SimpleX is pretty rad.

Why? Matrix sucks as an instant messenger app, it’s better as a Slack/Discord alternative.

Awesome, thanks!

In terms of architecture, which is preferred:

• separate pod per “app” (e.g. NextCloud), but all one network
• separate pod and network per app
• everything in one pod

I’d like to have one gateway, Caddy, so my cert renewal and proxying are all in one place, and I’d like those proxy configs to look like http://<container>

I’d prefer my containers not be able to talk to each other unless I specifically allow it. The second option would get me that, but I think it would force me to expose ports for each app to the system.

TL; DR - Can I have a “Caddy” pod that can see exposed ports from other pods, but hide those ports from regular system users? If not, I’ll probably do the first option. I also want to be able to expose ports to the host on a per app basis if needed.

I was with Namecheap for years, and they’re totally fine. I am now with Cloudflare because they’re a bit cheaper and their API is well supported in various tools, and they also seem fine.

Or if you have reliable home internet, just get/reuse a small PC and host at home.

But if you don’t have a ton of users, you can host on a pretty cheap VPS.

I use Collabora CODE, which is an online version of LibreOffice. I don’t know a ton about the technical details, but I’m pretty sure it does server side rendering.

Here’s a guide to configure it with Nextcloud.
