I use it as a last resort backup for things that are worth the recall price if I lose them

Disk vs disc I believe is down to the type of medium, magnetic disk vs optical disc

Docker still makes sense on your own hardware. Especially if you're the type of person to try out different programs often

Cloudflare Alternative

What do you guys use to expose private IP addresses to the web? I was using the npm proxy manager with Cloudflare CDN. However, it stopped working after I changed my router (I keep getting error 521). Looking for an alternative to Cloudflare cdn so I can access my media server/self-hosted services away from LAN....

Zerotier, although it's similar to tailscale so you might have issues with it too

Yeah. To keep up with friends/family

I've done it with docker swarm and it was awful, the connection latency would break the cluster constantly

Some people have to jump through a lot of moral hoops to justify piracy instead of accepting there could be any possible bad points about it

There's a lot of people in the world and a lot of different opinions. Most men aren't lonely, and most married men don't view their wife as an annoying burden. The joke isn't really that funny either to most people, it's a pretty stupid joke even if most people will get it.

Yeah, there's companies out there literally destroying the planet or causing deaths and consumers don't care. They're not gonna stop using their shiny rectangle over this

As far as I'm aware you don't need a seperate VPS if you're using tailscale, or you don't need tailscale of you use a reverse proxy via a vps. You can just host it in the same place you're hosting the games and apps.

peter ,
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

You still need a reverse proxy just doesn't need to be on a seperate server. If you want to do it without people having to install something, you may be able to use cf tunnels for the web pages but game servers definitely don't work through that and you'd have to have some sort of external forwarding. Keep in mind though that will introduce possibly an unacceptable amount of lag to the server.

about to fly, online check-in and downloading the qr code and boarding pass to my phone

This post is going to sound very similar to my last one, but now I only want to make sure I can check-in online from my desktop, download both the qr code and boarding pass as a pdf file to my phone and then either board the plane showing my phone with the pdf boarding pass to the agent or use my phone and the pdf qr code with...

Why pay for hosting a static site at all when github, cloudflare etc offer free hosting

peter ,
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Does netlify not let you set a spend limit?

peter ,
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

But can you set a limit to stop it going above the free tier

peter ,
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

I think social media, particularly Twitter, has bred this. Twitter is designed in a way that makes it impossible to have an actual structured debate and instead encourages short and unambiguous statements which cannot possibly accurately encapsulate an issue

What's a simple logging service?

Hiya, I'm looking to keep track of my different services in hosting via Unraid. Right now I'm hosting roughly 12 different services, but would be nice to have the logs of all my services in one place, preferably with a nice GUI. Are there any such services that could easily connect to the different docker containers I have...

Install promtail on the system where you want to get the logs from, then configure it with the paths to the log files and the address of the loki server

Even if they don't do that I think they'll go bankrupt, recreating the pub is probably far more expensive than they can afford

Dont you think it is horrible how people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives

Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is "a blow against US / NATO imperialism" completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by...

But at what point does it actually become a baby and not just a collection of cells? Is an unfertilised egg a baby? Is it a baby as soon as sperm touches it?

Why then?

But it isn't able to sustain itsself outside of the body, so why is it alive on its own?

Yes they can, and regularly do? Obviously they can't feed themselves but I think you know the difference between that and not being viable to live

The truth is that for something like Facebook groups the biggest feature is that everyone is already there, and by that metric there is no alternative

PoE Single Board/Micro/Mini Computer/Server

I have an 8gb Raspberry Pi 4 that has been a workhorse for years. I keep it for my not intense but essential networking purposes, NetBoot.xyz, Homepage, etc., because I can run it over PoE (edit: Power over Ethernet), so it is always on as long as my network is up....

I think googling poe or poe computing will give you it

Apart from the obvious issues with this, local platforms is more appealing to me. I'm sure every non-US citizen is annoyed by platforms made by people in the US that clearly don't understand how things work in your country, plus the fact that all these platforms do is make US billionaires richer.

What do you mean "LLM training prompt"

peter ,
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

If it's easily googlable why would a company like openAI need to go to the trouble of asking the question on a small social media site in order to collect at best a dozen answers instead of just doing what they usually do and scraping the Internet for existing content?

Another good reason to filter characters is based on what people expect. You don't want people to be making accounts like OfficialSiteSupport'

London? Or somewhere close?

peter ,
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Its all relative really, because we don't experience extreme temperatures the smaller variations in temperature make a bigger difference to us. It might get up to 25 degrees on a typical summer day and as cold as -10 in winter, but the difference between a day for shorts and a day for a jumper could be only 3 or so degrees

Social media absolutely needs regulating though. I think it should be subject to the same regulation as gambling
