I was excited for IPv6 in the 90s.

Nice way to chain unrelated features together to make something more than it was before. I’m bookmarking this video in case I’m ever asked “what is hacking.”

I am being a judgemental asshole toward myself because I ended up on Reddit per that flowchart.

I’ve ended up with a pretty decent vinyl collection doing this. A lot of artists sell record releases on their merch store.

Lemmy isn’t big enough for much that’s niche yet. At ~50k MAUs (not all of whom post) there just aren’t enough posters to fuel many narrow interest communities.

First set up your certificate in the SSL tab of NPM. You can either upload a traditional certificate or set up LetsEncrypt. Be aware that starting next spring the maximum length of a certificate will drop to 9 months and continue to decrease over the next few years until its 47 days.

I have mine set up so LetsEncrypt gets a wildcard cert for my domain (via DNS challenge). Some people go with per subdomain certs.

Once you have the cert, go you each of your hosts and switch to its SSL tab. Then select your cert. Then I usually turn on “Force SSL”

Every single story about windows 11 makes me hope I can convince IT to let me migrate my work laptop to linux before October.

I use Nginx Proxy Manager running as a docker container. Its a gui that makes administration more straight forward. It points at all my services (docker and otherwise) and handles the SSL for me. Because I don’t want to have any ports open I use DNS challenge ACME and NPM has built in support for a number APIs from large public DNS providers to automate that.

This is why I didn’t buy a wireless android auto adapter when I bought a different car. I figured Gemini was going to get stuffed down our throats there.

For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

I can’t set my dryer to medium heat unless I do so with an app over the internet even though the controls exist to do it on the unit. I bought a window AC unit and the only remote control is an app - thankfully I was able to put that on a subnet with no internet gateway and it still works.

Coming soon (if not already): TVs with utility cellular connections or corpo network (like Amazon sidewalk) access that your neighbor may have not opted out of.
