Huh TIL. Thought it was cock.

UK is a paper tiger on this.

Filled in the survey. A few notes:

• Some of my answers make no sense on the surface - like the “experiment with new technology” block (4 questions). I’ve answered “Agree” to all of them, because I have taken time into account, which is not represented on the questions. Long story short - I do love experimenting with new tech, I’m almost always the first one to try something among my peers, but at the same I never blindly jump in (I’m hesitant) as most of the “new technology” is just
  • Someone repackaging foss and relabeling it
  • Some LLM bullshit
  • An inferior product to what already exists

There are also scenarios where I have already found something that’s the best solution for my case, so I won’t even bother looking at something new, even if it might be the best thing since sliced bread for someone else.

• TIme and effort setting up/maintaining (4 questions). It doesn’t take much time nor effort to set anything up now, but it did when I was starting out initially. I knew very little and a bunch of concepts hadn’t clicked, yet, so it took me days to set up Nextcloud and about half a year (on and off. Probably a week or so if it were all squeezed together) for email.

• The performance and intent to use in the future questions are weird - they feel like the same question, just leveling off in intensity. I’ve selected the same answer for all of them. They probably should’ve been a single question with agree/disagree options swapped for intensity levels.

Good luck with your PhD!

Point taken :D Coffee must kick in at some point.

I, personally, like a language being rich. Nothing wrong with not knowing all the ins and outs, but calling for simplification on what is already an very simple language is odd.

Mostly agree. Audiobooks are not my thing, but of it were - I’d look for a way to resume where I left off, maybe some recommendation on what to listen to next.

In general - once you’re into hosting stuff and past the initial barrier of setting everything up - adding another service is dead simple.

Can I be unreasonable? I’m gonna be unreasonable.

Gentoo.

Glad to hear! Not that you’d want to send email from a residential IP anyway - if not for your ISP, every email service wouls bounce it anyway.

Normally firewall is on the router. Sensitive environments usually run one on the client as well.

It’s not v6 itself, it’s rather lack of layers of nat that prevent forwarding a v4 for most folks.

Fair enough, I guess. Still, I was dumbstruck by lack of ability to open up a port.

It doesn’t fix it, per se, rather removes the need for layers of hacks such as nat and cg-nat. Every device gets a globally routable IP - no need to forward anything, just open the port you want.

IPv6. My stupid ISP actually shipped their router with all inbound ipv6 blocked with no way to unblock it, so I set up opnsense. Works like a charm!

.dev domains are required to only be reachable via https. You’ve not mentioned that in the post, so I’m guessing port 443 is not serving or even listening.

I’d delete the screenshot with your IP visible. You never know…

It’s much more efficient space wise.

I guess it’s similar to cooking in cast iron - it’s effective, just not a be-all-end-all solution.

Will try to squeeze in a 1v4 game of aoe4 against easy bots. Assuming kid goes to sleep early enough :)

Would love to get better to increase the difficulty, but a few matches a week just isn’t enough 😮‍💨

How is this bloody test thread popping up in someone’s feed yearly? 😱

Majority of openrc/hardened/selinux binhost setup is done, need to figure out the small things.

Lemmy was also giving a bit of a headache, fiddled with limits some more.

I’m fairly certain there’s been an attempt to play with some opnsense config, but there was only time to install the updates. Or maybe this was last week 🤔

Whole path has to be accessible, not just the file itself. All dirs above the file need to have the executable bit set that affects the user accessing the file.
