- Comment on Do I need https on everything 3 days ago:
if you’re accessing over the internet, always use TLS/HTTPS.
if you’re accessing over LAN, you should still use TLS/HTTPS.
just because you’re hosting the app locally doesn’t mean the JS embedded in the page is safe. HTTPS will ensure that all your traffic is encrypted so only you and the server knows what it contains.

you can also run them in the same container with a multi-stage build and some finesse with S6.

simplex
- Comment on For users with public facing services: How does the current explosion of AI-discovered vulnerabilities affect your threat model and willingness to be public facing? 2 weeks ago:
exposure is unchanged. automated patching and upgrades are working. rollbacks, etc are working. minimal attack surface exposed and properly blocking traffic by geography. rotation of keys/passwords as well as short lived rotated TLS certs.
not one of those things alone is a solution, but together can make a solid dent in securing your infrastructure.
- Comment on ISP won't set up static IP - Services keep going down 3 weeks ago:
here’s the neat thing. terraform won’t push anything if nothing has changed.
so no. no recurring unconditional pushes.
- Comment on Is anyone self-hosting their own AI? 3 weeks ago:
- 96gb ddr5
- intel i7 12th gen
- RTX 3060
it also doubles as my media ripper. I initially built it specifically for that before AI was even a thing.
- Comment on ISP won't set up static IP - Services keep going down 3 weeks ago:
I use a terraform script that pushes my IP up to route 53 every hour. been good enough for me for the last six years.
- Comment on What is your self hosted power draw? 4 weeks ago:
last I checked it was at 2.5kwh so now it’s probably around 3.5kwh
- Comment on What's your weirdest or most unique self-hosted use case and solution? 4 weeks ago:
I have wireless wyze cameras in my house that are connected to a private network segmented away from internet access.
because of that, it’s impossible for them to retrieve updates. So I wrote a proxy in crystal-lang that can proxy web requests over my private network to the public internet.
this allowed me to pull the new hacked firmware and installed them from github while maintaining network privacy.
a year or so later I began selfhosting gitlab and now I just have a job that pulls a clone there and all the cameras pull from within my networks.

PSA: don’t buy any from eBay. fuck scalpers.
if you don’t buy it they won’t sell it. if they don’t sell it, they won’t buy more.
- Comment on Rocknix now adds official Steam support to Android handhelds, turning them into mini Steam Decks (Linux + Proton games) 6 months ago:
been using my RP5 since launch as a steam handheld just on android alone.
as long as you have a strong WiFi connection it’s baller.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 8 months ago:
how many people live in your home with the same birthday?
it’s a form of identification.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 8 months ago:
multiple states and now countries have bills and/or laws that will be enforced soon that require the age and/or identity of the user. you’re lying to yourself if you believe steam won’t be directly impacted by that and will be forced to comply.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 8 months ago:
they’re trying to beat the age verification laws to market because they know afterwards will be a shit show.
they know customers won’t be spending money on hardware that is ID nerfed.
if valve gets the hardware to market now, along with the software it’s more likely that people will buy the hardware later and flash older firmware later that doesn’t require ID verification.
- Comment on DuckStation dev dropping support for Linux 1 year ago:
ITT: entitled users who believe that FOSS devs deserve to work themselves to death so they can continue to illegally pirate games while simultaneously complain about licensing law.
it’s disgusting. doesn’t matter if he’s not a nice guy. he’s still right to set limits on what he is willing to support and it’s not Arch(and now all of Linux).
don’t like it? fork it and maintain a new version of it, call it “corkscrew” for the weird shape of ducks pebis.
- Comment on Pebble is officially Pebble again 1 year ago:
that’s the whole point.
instead of doing an unlimited amount of things shittily, it will do a handful of things exceptionally well.
don’t buy a Ferrari to be your grocery car. don’t buy a Sebring to street race.
