Yes. Absolutely. There’s a fuck ton of things you shouldn’t tip for. This is not one of them.

Agreed on word fence.

I didn’t say to specify a port in the DNS. I just said that it is a way that we can resolve a resource.

In the case of ports we’d configure it through whatever webserver (Apache, nginx, traefik, whatever) configs necessary on that machine. The DNS in this scenario would only be for the machines IP where our webserver then routes traffic to different ports.

I was accounting for both valid setups.

That suggested, it could be done with ports, or it could be done with separate servers.

Domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4

www.domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4:443

app.domain.com resolves to 1.2.3.4:5555

Games.domain.com resolves to 1.2.5.6

Mail.domaim.com resolves to 1.2.7.8

Portal.domain.com resolves to 1.2.9.10

Etc, etc.

The end of daylight savings.

Fuckhead almost did it.

I dont know I think the crowds have been mostly siloed away from each other.

Try going on truth social, if you dare.

But who knows how much of that is bot traffic and LLMs.

🤷‍♂️

Fascism.

No you’re right it’s called extinction.

If there is another jan 6th it will be a tragedy.

There will be many more casualties.

The incumbent office won’t hesitate to act like Trump did, tactfully. It will be a massacre.

That’s all I know.

If you’re into developing and stuff, GitLab

Plex server

Jellyfin server

ELK stack or security onion

Get steam working, connect via steam link.

Everyone is gonna learn best differently. There’s no best place to start.

Id start with solving a problem. For me, this was not wanting to make a backup to transfer my data from my old machine to my new one. So I built a little Ubuntu Server, setup a rudimentary samba share, setup users/groups, and figured out how to access that data from my network.

Docker is easy, you’ll learn it by mistake. It’ll haunt you like it’s some complicated thing until you realize you’re doing it and it’s literally incredibly straightforward.

From there, Id maybe say go to WordPress and follow instructions about setting up a WordPress site in a docker container. Oops, you just learned docker.

Id hold off on hosting email. I mean it’s a noble goal but it’s a fucking headache. But that’s just me! Like I said, everyone’s different.

Piece of advice, before you go hosting a monero server, dig into cybersecurity. Particularly server hardening. I recommend Hack The Box. There’s tons of platforms, though.

If I block someone, I want to see [blocked] instead of what they are saying. I want to receive no notifications for this. I should be able to view what other people in that comment thread are saying. I should be able to toggle the ability to read these people’s replies, but not reply unless I unblock.

They can still see my shit. That’s fine. Just stop making me see theirs in my inbox. And stop blocking the rest of the conversation where other good folks are continuing to discuss something I was interested in.

Crosses?! No, those are lowercase it’s, for “Time to leave.”

It is not the best adblocking by far, that is not accurate.

It is better than the free AdBlock extension, yes. It is not better than AdBlock premium. No more cookies popups, no more floating video players on news sites, no more mailing list popups. These are three things that you do not get with ublock origin. I know because I use both.

I already use adgaurds DNS, which is free.

Lastly, I’m more than happy to pay $15/yr to a company fighting a fight I believe in. Now, I wouldn’t pay $40/yr, but if all I need to do is change my VPN from New Jersey to Montreal to get more than 50% off that price, it’s a no brainier.

My only complaint is they don’t have a Firefox mobile extension, so when I’m on my phone I’m stuck with janky-ass ublock origin and nothing better.

I am using mullvad vpn as well.

I am saying that AdBlock premium has a different cost based on your location, which you can switch with your VPN.

Adblock premium cost is wildly different based on location.

Using a VPN I have found everything from $15/yr to $40/yr

You can get arrested, you could be detained under a reasonable articulable suspicion of having committed a crime.

As to whether or not that would ultimately lead to trouble? No. Could it still cost you money, time, etc? Yes.

Yes. And if you interview for an 8 to 5 job, you tell them that it sounds like a crock of shit and you don’t want the job.

So sick of that shit. Fuck any employer who pulls this shit.

Nope.

If you got your social Security number before 2011, your first three digits represent the geographical location you were born in. You share those three digits with each of your siblings who were born in the same geographical location before in 2011. Go ahead and ask them.

If memory serves, and all we would really need to do is check a Wikipedia article, the middle two digits were done in some weird sequence, and then the last four were pseudo-random.

So basically, any people receiving their social security number any multiple of 100 people apart from another (prior to 2011) in the same geographic location have a 1 in 10,000 chance of having identical social security numbers.

Basically, if you live in a large city, you definitely have a few twinsies out there.

This was changed in 2011, because of this, but it is still not a unique identifier. It’s just more random.

Social Security numbers are not unique identifiers.
