Would only be worth it if you created a system for easily deploying applications on an already set up subnet with routing preconfigured.

Like set up a single server kubernetes distribution like microk8s or minikube on the server with metalLB and ingress already preconfigured on the server and router. You could also give instructions on how to install a GUI like Lens and how to use it to deploy a few things. Probably using workstation applications would be better than a web UI like Portainer to keep the server lighter, but either might work.

Right, trade deals, not genocide deals.

My Facebook and Instagram are now >3/4 stuff that I didn’t follow. Not all are explicitly advertisements, but they aren’t things I wanted to see. That’s why I’m moving to federated services. Just wish I could convince more of my friends and family to move over. I use Lemmy as a replacement for Reddit so it’s more widely social, but the other stuff I only really used for friends, family, or special interest groups.

It’s also why tablets never really took off. Sure a lot of people use them, but mostly as a big screen phone in portrait orientation. But they could be so much more if designers actually designed apps to adapt to changing sizes. Even something simple like displaying two screens of a normal phone app side by side in landscape mode rather than having to switch back and forth. But ultimately, cost makes developing for multiple screen sizes a “low priority feature”, and those kinds of things never get funding. Instead they would rather put a feature that looks cool to investors and executives the product managers are trying to get to fund the project and on marketing materials to get sales people on-board, but is ultimately useless to the end user. Which comes back to the main problem in late-capitalism. The end user is no longer the customer, the corporate overlords and their investors are.

I mean arms dealers need to sell weapons, but better if it doesn’t draw them in themselves, so genocides are better than two sided wars. And the primary export of the US is weapons, so…

Unfortunately, the US is now fully reliant on SpaceX for access to space now that they decided to rely on corporate spacecraft rather than building our own and Boeing has proven themselves unreliable since that change was made, and now that they finally have a craft they ended up stranding astronauts on the space station until SpaceX can rescue them due to defects. Plus we can’t use Russia like we did after the shuttle program ended but corporate space travel wasn’t there yet. And SpaceX isn’t publicly traded to where it might be possible that enough investors could pressure Musk to cave.

So I doubt anything will come of it. Brazil will rattle their sabers. Musk will stand his ground, and the US will stay on Musk’s side while pretending as much as possible to be staying out of it.

Too much soap. Especially if it’s a high efficiency washer.

Because the primary export of the US, in terms of percentage of GDP at least, is weapons.

Debian tends to require a lot of tweaking to get it to work well with more modern things. I’ve never gotten video and audio hardware to work out of the box to my satisfaction, for example. Ubuntu is definitely easier to use out of the box. But I also don’t like the way Canonical has been taking it lately. And since I’ve been using CENTOS for servers for many, many years and more recently Rocky Linux, I decided to give Fedora another try after a failed attempt like a decade ago (I think the version at the time was Verne).

Combined with Plasma as a front end, Fedora is awesome. Some things aren’t there that I’d prefer and flatpacks and snaps always have minor, annoying issues, but for the most part it does everything I need and even supports my fairly new laptop with a touchscreen and pretty modern hardware without any tweaking.

Yeah, you definitely should run it on a separate machine. A home NAS itself probably shouldn’t be doing anything beyond serving files and basic maintenance. Using them for too much will reduce their ability to serve data fast enough. Just be sure the media server and NAS have appropriate network cards, preferably gigabit, though even 100Mbit probably is enough for most of your network isn’t already too busy, and ideally are connected to the same switch (again preferably gigabit) with good quality network cables.

If you can develop a system that can defeat oauth security you can do way more than falsify Reddit API traffic. You could steal all kinds of information.

If their leaders say that someone else was going to do something to them, then it makes it acceptable when those leaders do those things to the people they said were going to do the thing to them. Easy way to make atrocities seem reasonable. Same thing they do with labeling people “terrorists”. If you think someone is trying to horribly murder you, then when your leaders torture them, it seems ok.

Yeah political messages aren’t covered under antispam laws, so definitely don’t send a stop message. You’ll immediately get messages from a bunch of other sources now that they have you.

Use Drive or if it’s more than 15GB or whatever the max is these days. Pay for storage for one month for a couple of dollars on one of the supported platforms and download from there.

Nah, the people in charge want the people gone so they can build settlements and get rich not really because of ethnic cleansing, that’s just how they get the people to look the other way. So they wouldn’t do anything to make the land unusable. But if there was a weapon that could kill everyone without making the rubble radioactive they would totally do it.

Vance is there so Trump can scapegoat him for handing Putin everything he wants, that’s about it.

It’s reasonably priced. I was in the same boat with the Google domains shutdown. As long as you aren’t a heavy user, it has lots of cool features. But if you get their attention they’ve been known to fleece the crap out of small businesses that were using their free services. Most of my stuff is self hosted applications to move myself off of Google services, so my traffic is minimal.

That was something the current administration cracked down on. Plus with the war, there isn’t a lot of loose money floating around, but there’s lots being spent on military and infrastructure, so they’re making enough in legit business to not need to use corrupt means to get it. And a lot of the Russian oligarchy has left which was part of why they didn’t want them.

I agree that it’s the wrong way, but not because of any of this other than the first half of the first sentence.

It’s the hard/wrong way because it means you are having to be responsible for securing the root cert private keys and because most people will do it wrong and set up a root cert with the ability to sign not just tls certs, and that’s where the problems can occur if the keys are compromised and you’ve set up all of your machines to trust it.

But it’s also not true that you shouldn’t use HTTPS or that you should trust your own network, not because of the router, but because of the devices. People don’t control their devices anymore. Many home automation devices, nanny cams, security devices, water leak detectors, etc., contain firmware that is poorly configured and can easily expose your network traffic if it’s not encrypted. Not to mention a lot of apps these days on smartphones are Trojans for spyware, Temu, WeChat, etc.

And as for cost, you can get a domain name for a few dollars per year or as mentioned, a subdomain from something like a DDNS service, so it definitely can be totally free to do it the right way.

I guess it depends on what OP meant by “immediately”. If they meant the same day, maybe. If they meant within seconds or a few minutes, which is what I interpreted it as, then probably not. It takes time to transfer data out of a secure network, unless they gave the company direct access to a feed from the website, which would be really risky for a bank to give any organization a direct, real-time feed of any kind that is on the same network as financial data. I mean unless the bank also owned the spamming company, but that seems risky for reputation.
