Maybe a bit off-topic, but genuine curiosity - why would anyone go for OpenVPN these days, when there is Wireguard available? It makes sense if UDP is blocked, but in this case OP is clearly using UDP for OpenVPN.

If you go for passkeys, start putting them in your own provider from the start? Vaultwarden is a nice option.

Backrest is great. It makes it very easy to configure restic backups and do the restores.

Here is a fun story: years ago I avoided using CAPTCHAs on my sites by simply adding a hidden file upload field (hidden by js) and a hidden field that was expected to be empty. Lots of spam bots did not run JS back then and tried posting va

Yes, I signed up for DUNS as I was creating a developer account for Apple. If I remember correctly, a year ago it did not cost anything when going through apple systems. And I think it was before the step where you have to pay the Apple dev

Or go with Wireguard. It uses UDP, it has a silent protocol, no one from the outside can see it. (unless they can MITM you)

I set up Fedora for family but I still use Arch myself, because there is no good alternative to AUR on Fedora and there are more packages that I need for software development. Sometimes Arch saves so much time, that even the infrequent nece

Been using MacOS for 12 years as well and I still dislike it. On my Arch development machine I have about 30 Gnome extensions that play nicely together. I have also developed extensions on Gnome and I can certainly do much more extending th

Would be great if there was a short video/asciinema/charts or some other short form guide on how you are supposed to use it. It was not clear from the home page what exactly it is and how it works, and I don't really want to

I would say that it seems like Apple has somewhat abandoned MacOS and is instead fully focusing on iOS. For me personally Gnome UI and UX is cleaner and simpler than MacOS. At the same time there are awesome community extensions that can fi

Look at the official screenshots, it looks great: https://release.gnome.org/46/ Font rendering on Linux has been fixed for >10 years but the OP has obviously forgot to update his font configuration or has turned off

You need only CAT5e for gigabit. And ISP's are giving out gen5 and gen6 Wi-Fi devices.

by Jnr 2y ago
In Europe we have had gigabit at home for 8+ years (and it is cheap - 15$/month), and gigabit routers are provided by the ISP, why wouldn't it be the same everywhere else. It is not like gigabit is state of the art anymore, we are

It does not matter - all the ports are closed.

You are slightly wrong. TLS is not mandatory in all cases, but if you want to use it, it is not an issue having a certificate. Certificate itself has nothing to do with DNS beyond the verification step. And even then you do not have to open

No, the example is - you go to friends, join their Wifi, have the same external IP, send the knock from your phone/laptop to open 443 to that IP, and then you can connect from TV or their computers.

My router (with Wireguard) can't handle more than 45Mbit/s through Wireguard because the CPU starts throttling. I suspect that RaspberryPi or old Intel NUC also would not be able to handle speeds anywhere near gigabit.

It is much simpler to open access to the same network using port knocking than setting up VPN apps and profiles on TV.

OP's example was a great one. For example, let's say you visit your friends and you want to watch some content together that is accessible on your server. Using this approach you can open access to that without setting up Wireguar

Wireguard doesn't require much, since it is part of Linux kernel. But your use-case with http server is a good one. For similar cases I have used custom forward-auth service, but that still requires to have the web server accessible, w

IMHO Wireguard + SSH is a better (more robust, widely supported and more secure) approach. Maybe the OP simply hasn't yet heard about or used Wireguard.
173.
by Jnr 2y ago
You don't really have to do that. Wireguard is very silent protocol. Even when you bring up the interface, unless you are sending anything to that interface, it will not redo the handshake. So you can keep it up all the time. This is w

Not a business here, though using certain self hosted tools has paid off in work as well. So as a hobbyist, when you have a handful of services you are self hosting, adding another one makes more sense. And running 5+ different services is

It is great for casual users also. I set up Fedora for my wife on older Macbook Air that stopped receiving MacOS updates and she has no issues using it.

It is not an argument and it doesn't "answer" anything. It simply suggests that they should have said no, without going in to details what that would entail. At the end of the day, does it really matter? DRM extension is exte

Yes, being a browser used by small minority surely gives them major bargaining powers to rid the web of DRM. Or it would simply make Spotify, Netflix and other similar sites not function on Firefox and reduce their market share even more. W

I have seen Cloudflare free plans moving terabytes of data each month, so I don't exactly see a problem.

That looks like a static site to me, should be OK with the free plan at Vercel/Cloudflare/other?

Based on the fact that you own that thing and you can do whatever you want with it. The issue until now has been the availability of documentation (schematics, instructions, etc.). For example, in USA you can purchase Volvo service manual a
