Thanks, I like it. The downside is that the VPS can see the content of my services, so it’s no good if you don’t trust the VPS provider, or if the content is too sensitive to allow that. I think it’s a good trade-off for my usage though. Performs well. One of the services I proxy is a rpi serving images downloaded from weather satellites. Connecting directly to the pi is super slow, but the proxy caching makes it 100% faster.
I’ve noticed that more and more, interesting new projects have nix, appimg, pkg, and docker releases. So on Debian, I need to rely on non-native packages or compiling more frequently than before. Not a big issue, but it’s a new awkwardness I wasn’t used to.
I use a $2 VPS in Quebec that proxies my home stuff over Tailscale. It uses Caddy and does the TLS encryption and caching. It has the providers DDOS protection, plus I have configured the firewall to have some further protection.
It could also just directly forward TLS packets over any sort of VPN if you didn’t trust the VPS provider or wanted to reduce cpu load.
Make a big flat pancake of batter and use a cookie-cutter?
The VPS is a $2 instance and very under powered, however it has a dedicated static IP and some Ddos protection. The basement computer is powerfully and capable of providing various services, but I don’t want any trouble with my home IP address. Tailscale let’s the VPS see the home computer securely.
Don’t worry, the vast majority of every generation are shit with computers. Tech-ies just think their generation is better because their friends (also in tech) are better than the people they randomly run into from other generations. It’s just selection bias. Most millennials I know don’t even know the keyboard shortcut to save in word.
Looking at the keyboard and rapid poking works fine for chatting, but it does kinda suck for writing or editing anything complex. Honestly, this is how most millennials are - fast 2-finger typists who developed their skill with ICQ or MSN messenger or whatever. Really sucks when you try to show them VIM.
This one I don’t mind. Typing is a highly specific skill that was hugely important for a particular generation of tech. I am basically never limited by typing speed at this point - both programming and writing don’t require really fast typing, and data entry is relegated to history. Now the lack of understanding how computers work, fundamental principles and skills, that’s a serious problem.
I never blame kids for the young adults they become. When zoomers don’t understand tech, it’s because the adults have a) dumbed down all the tech in their lives to the point of designing and selling purely passive consumption machines, and b) sucked all the inquisitiveness out of kids ability to learn. If you put real computers around kids, and share genuine excitement at learning things and making stuff, they absorb it like a sponge.
I use both. Caddy on a VPS that reaches into my Tailscale network and proxies services hosted on a computer in my basement.
When a Canadian pays for anything from a Canadian app maker on their iPhone, a third of the money goes to California. And it’s illegal for anyone to circumvent Apples App Store because we agreed to America’s anti-circumvention rules in trade negotiations that they no longer respect.
Seems like a weird contrast between the tone of the article and then mentioning the $175 million over 5 years being invested. What the heck does 35 million a year buy for an international sea port and arctic railway? A fresh coat of paint for a few of the warehouse buildings? Reporters should always put numbers like that in some sort of context. That’s their job.
Either DMZ on the first router, or bridge mode on the second.
There’s a difference between a wake word and general purpose speech recognition. A simple wake word can be done in simple hardware on the device, while general purpose speech processing either requires heavy, relatively constant CPU usage, or heavy network traffic to pipe the audio to a server for processing.
The canned answer is standard-fare in politics because the media has been so happy to play clips of any mis-spoken comment on a loop starting in maybe the 90s?
The problem here is that he should have a goddamned canned response ready for such a soft-ball question. “We don’t tolerate that, I’ve told them if they are not for Canada, they are out!” (crowd cheers, he wins the election, yada yada). He can’t even manage that low bar.
Okay, but I hate the reaction guy’s reaction video even more than pp’s response.
Your opinion is a hard-learned lesson here. I only recently figured that out. The Nextcloud “app store” is just too tempting.
I use both as well. They server different purposes. When my wife wants to take a quick scan of a paper document and archive it instantly, or have pictures auto-upload, or open and edit a document we worked on a year ago, all on her IPhone, the Nextcloud client works great and really has no competition in the iOS world. When I want to keep the files in my home directory, including some big, regularly changing files, instantly synced between computers and hosted VMs, Syncthing is amazing. I also add Syncthing shares as an external source in Nextcloud, so I can open those files via the web. As others have said, Nextcloud works fine, provided you don’t start installing all sorts of “apps” you don’t need -stick to the basics.
I say this toung-in-cheek, but we all know nothing about Toronto is anything except the center (of the universe).
As a thought experiment: what would have happened if instead of a public health regulation approach, we dealt with restaurant safety by providing a few safe places and advocating everyone go there if they don’t want salmonella or e-coli poisoning. We’d have people ignorant going to the dangerous places, others misinformed or in denial, and a flood of misinformation that food poisoning is either “fine” or there’s no avoiding it anyway so best not to worry.
