Another option if you need public access without something like tailscale would be to use ddns and a AAAA record. Something like https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient would help do that.

That way if the IP changes, you’d pick up on the change for your vanity url within a few minutes… and can get https certs for that url as well.

Edit: I reread the OP. This doesn’t help if clients need direct ipv4. Sorry about that.

The UI goes in circles. I wish we stopped changing things when they aren’t broken.

I actually like the ability for a local AI to help with this in theory. I don’t think it’s an excuse for unintuitive UIs though.

If ya want to not be plugged into the internet, or use new external media, ya can probably run it safely forever.

Bad eh security advice: use an alternative ssh port. Lots of actors try port 22 and other common alternatives. Much fewer will do a full port scan looking for an ssh server then try brute forcing.

I have both but just use pihole as a local DNS server/forwarder. I bump into too many random times where sites or redirects don’t work properly since they get blocked.

Consider using containers. I used to think this way, though now my goal is to get down to almost all containers since it’s nice to be able to spin up and down just what the one ‘thing’ needs.

I’ve never had a case where running that fixed anything. I get it makes sense to verify system integrity but I’m guessing the OS already does that on its own once in a while.

If this is your fear, why not just have a will or something that specifically describes what to do and where to go?

My cat is good and eats only what she needs. She always has a bowl full of her regular food. We’ve been like this for almost 10 years now.

It all kind of depends on the cat and how they handle the buffet always being open.

How is signal considered part of the fediverse?

I’d be down for a smart watch with like a week of battery life, with a backlight on lift, and I guess NFC for paying.

I know I won’t get that combo, but I can dream.

How does a doddle compare to a jiffie?

Makes me think that platforms banning Trump after Jan 6 were just kissing up to Biden coming in. Maybe there is just a cycle of capitalist sucking up.

You’re right, but also have been proven wrong. This is politics, and apparently the most effective version at that is lying and saying things that more people than we would think believe… and vote for.

You’d be surprised to hear that most software devs i talk to think the benefits of ai are overrated. The problem is the bubble keeps growing and growing.

… also leads to worse for all in the meantime.

We’re getting it shoved down our throats too. We get asked to use ai to enhance things… that no one wanted fixed with ai.

The fact that they changed the name to Azure Linux still upsets me. I get upset easily.

We use it at work. Seems mostly fine and similar enough to old CentOS and RHEL.

+1.

I wish we had type c but all cables were labeled with clear functionality from the start. I don’t like data/power only cables.

Warning: talking out of my butt a bit so take with a grain of salt.

I wonder if you could look at micropython. You could implement a unix like world on top of micropython then use micropython as the layer where a normal os would be.

It would be miserable and likely impossible to be fully unix compliant but could be a fun thing to play with. I would be amazed if it ever somehow could run native unix binaries.

I’m guessing this is a cost thing. You don’t need to pay for fact checking anymore.

… still obnoxious and pushing us towards a dead echo chamber internet. Get ready for AI personalities voting on community notes.
