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.

Cloudflare except I think they’re in the US.

Privacy is free. Domains are at cost. DNS is updatable via the webui and API as well.

Makes me wish they further prioritize the ability to move accounts from instance to instance. Things need to be thought of as best effort and not exactly a sure thing.

I have mostly random videos with things I’ve been interested in over the years. I’ve been doing a short a day for over a year now. The shorts are pretty random but surround things that happen on my life.

I love video and live production. I haven’t been able to really do it since college and don’t have time (or equipment) to do consistent long form content; but shorts are easy and fun enough to come up with.

Also a bunch of the shorts involve my cat.

Ask how many 'r’s in the word ‘strawberry’

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

I’ve had great service from goggles4u.com. It’s been years though since I got LASIK.

People are generally nice. Though honestly my wife is a 10 and I’m like a -3. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder.

Streamline

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.

You won’t believe what this person thinks of our headlines

For something end-user facing: I could understand this argument.

In this case they were more or less just calling a C function that had an unsigned long long as the parameter they were setting negative.

The whole ‘bug’ was that the other side of the function call was seeing a positive number no matter what.

The real situation was a bit more complicated, but that’s the gist.

I once had a QA engineer file a bug saying they couldn’t do negative testing since negative numbers were converted to positive.

The function took an unsigned integer. Took a lot of explaining to get them to understand that negative testing isn’t necessarily negative numbers.

Dead internet theory… except it’s basically dead world theory.

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.

Also money. If it was all free to get the paper online, who would pay to get it in person?

For some reason a collective of cats sounds like some sort of organized crime group that wears suits.

My cat doesn’t wear a suit, though probably partakes in organized crime. 🤔
