I treat it like a junior dev, it gets the gist but may make mistakes and I work it into something usable.

I also like it to save keystrokes, like when I'm building an object, it knows the structure of that object, so it ends up being tab/enter/tab/enter/... Same process for creating converters between types.

I don't expect much from it, but it does save time and keystrokes

Every fucking time! I just know that whenever I see this guy on a post, this comment will be the first one I see. "He dOseN'T DeseRVe a MemE teMPlaTe" like it's some big fucking honor for your picture to be posted on Lemmy with some random fucking text. Nobody fucking cares!

This exposé is a bit suspect, or at least this part is which makes me question the integrity as a whole:

He was forced to walk 21 miles daily, one way, to his job

Average human walks 3mph. This dude apparently never sleeps.

The whole thing reads like a corporate "uNioNS BaD" article

What's stopping you from using Ecosia? Your searches could plant trees! ( www.ecosia.org )

Ecosia is a search engine that aggregates search results from multiple other search engines. The ad revenue from our searches funds the planting of trees worldwide. With over 200 million trees planted so far, Ecosia have learned to be fully transparent about their projects, and financials which are available right on that...

Don't have children

A+ my friend. Solve this one, and you solve most of the others.

However, eating animals isn't inherently bad on its own. It's the SCALE at which we do it. Animals have been eating animals since there were animals, and as long as there is a natural balance, this can be a good thing. Factory-farming for billions of humans is where it all falls apart (much earlier than that, actually)

You either care about the future of humanity and their place on Earth, or you don't.

I couldn't give less of a fuck of humans make it or not, but the Earth and its other inhabitants don't need to go down with the shitty ship humans built.

I agree with your overall point, though, but I think the main solution to the problem is simply to use a condom. Most of the rest will sort itself out or be much easier to solve after there are less of us.

shiftymccool OP ,

I'm not using self-signed anymore, I'm getting them from Cloudflare via DNS challenge

shiftymccool OP ,

If I use the Cloudflare origin server certs, the browser shows insecure and the message is "certificate not trusted" which is the same message as self-signed, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure what other details are relevant as I'm still new-ish to the networking portion of this home server thing. I'm happy to answer any questions if you suspect something.

shiftymccool OP ,

Barring any Traefik tricks that allows me to accomplish what I'm after, I was thinking of going with your "third" option of just letting it use Cloudflare for everything but, I had to check with the experts first before just doing it.

I have some apps that complain or, in one case, flat out doesn't work if the cert is invalid. I've been working around it (sort of) but it would be nice to have it set up "correctly" for once. If routing all traffic through Cloudflare is the answer, so be it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

shiftymccool OP ,

You're right, I'm using the cloudflare DNS challenge to get let's encrypt certs. I'm definitely hitting traefik. I'm testing by turning the Wi-Fi on my phone off/on and opening the page after. I get the same cert every time but it's not trusted when on Wi-Fi. This makes sense since it's the origin server cert which is meant to encrypt traffic between my server and cloudflare. To add more certainty, when Wi-Fi is on, a traceroute shows only one hop to my server and shows a bunch of hops when it's off.

shiftymccool OP ,

That's what I'm settling on. However, it's not just about trust, some of the services I'm exposing deal with moving files and I'm mostly interested in higher speeds associated with local transfers as well as not using up my internet data cap.

shiftymccool OP ,

When I turn off Wi-Fi, I'm not on the same network as my server, it's my carrier network so all the internet hops are expected.

The way it's working now is I have a domain (example.com) that is set up on cloudflare DNS. I added a tunnel in cloudflare zero trust, which generates certificates you add to your server to encrypt traffic from your server to cloudflare. I have added these to traefik to be served with my service url (service.example.com). Then, I added a route in cloudflare for service.example.com.

This works fine. But, what I've also done is add a local DNS entry for service.example.com so when I'm on my LAN, I access it without going out to the internet and back (seems like a waste). However, this is serving the origin server certs from cloudflare, which causes trust issues

I'm using docker for everything: traefik, cloudflared tunnel, and my services on the same hardware. The tunnel just runs, and it's configured on cloudflare zero trust to talk directly to the container:port over the docker network.

My guess is they're referring to these release posts with zero detail.

"KelmRigger new release!" means nothing to anybody that's never heard of it. At least add a sentence to say what it is rather than make everyone go look it up.

How do you handle your passwords?

I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from… a spreadsheet…) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I’m not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files’ local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or...

shiftymccool ,

Also built in TOTP / 2fa is pretty great.

I can’t wrap my head around how this is a good idea. Isn’t the idea of mfa to protect against password theft? If your second factor is stored with your password, how does that help anything? Honest question, I see this everywhere but can’t figure out why it’s acceptable with security-minded folks

which launcher would you suggest and why?

so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I’m looking for a launcher that isn’t too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know…...

If you’re from the US, you’re going to talk about the US. You want people from other parts of the world to speak for you? No? Then shut up

These aren’t even racial terms, they were used for unionized vs. ununionized workers. Maybe we should be working on not calling people by color names. Not being able to use colors to describe things in the world because it is racially-adjacent is getting a bit difficult

shiftymccool ,

So, we’re destined to make new words for colors because all the color words we have now are taboo?

Blackmail was used in England and Scotland to describe money paid by tenant farmers to a chieftan: history.com/…/where-did-the-word-blackmail-come-f…

Black sheep literally comes from black sheep. That one is really obvious… www.etymonline.com/word/black sheep

Black market was more associated with anarchists that used black as their color than actual black people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_market

The goal here shouldn’t be changing peoples’ view on the concepts of white/black. We need to stop people from using those words to describe people. People (outside rare cases) are not BLACK or WHITE or YELLOW or RED, or… how about we use actual people names for people?

White and black as colors and concepts are too important to have to tippy-toe around. If something is black, I should be able to say so without getting internet-spanked. Etymology means something regardless of what anybody thinks. You can’t just make something racist because it has a color word in it.

Can everybody just stop looking for things to be mad about for a hot minute?

Keep changes small, we use git patch stack github.com/uptech/git-ps

shiftymccool ,

The only way I see that is a dependency update is if you’re versioning your node_modules or <insert-folder-here> which is generally a no-no

shiftymccool ,

I needed something dead-simple to keep homelab documentation. If it’s not simple, I probably wouldn’t keep up with changes. I landed on An Otter Wiki github.com/redimp/otterwiki
