Have you ever stepped food into China? I have. And I can tell you from personal experience they’re living in the future.

They have their own fair share of problems. But the investments they’re making into infrastructure are very easily going to catapult them to the head of the class here very shortly…

I’m really tired of being told how distopian China is from people who’ve never even been there.

Update came through this morning. 7.2.2-72806 Update 3.

The one thing I’ll never recommend anyone selfhost is email. It’s just plain not worth it.

You can do literally everything right and still get cucked by spam filters because you’re not a recognized email provider.

If you’re dealing with this much storage, it’s time to upgrade to a rack. Don’t deal with having to shove 10 drives into a packed full-size.

Start scouring 2nd hand auction sites and buy one used. They’re pretty cheap as far as solutions go if you can grab them used. Something like this would be ideal: https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM22-312/

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

Unless you start an encrypted chat, Telegram chats are not E2E.

I’m also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

Host your own Matrix node, and then you don’t have to worry about prying eyes. Realistically, instead of worrying about the protocol, worry about the content of the text. Use PGP to encrypt your own text and send it over clearnet. Who cares at that point.

It will be in 10 years when a majority of their country has access to it. Industrialization in China is on a different level.

In less than 25 years they will take the top spot for global economy, and likely everything else.

Median property value in DC is $705,000.

She’s likely living paycheck to paycheck as a sitting member of Congress. I like it.

It’s pretty great. The only thing you have to remember is that the caddy instance and the container you’re proxifying have to be within the same docker network. So you’ll definitely want to use the caddy2 container if this is the setup you want to pursue.

If not then you can just use IP addresses inside or outside of a container it doesn’t matter.

Then I found out my services would work better with Caddy

Exceptional idea. Cloudflare is nice, but Caddy will always win IMO. Additionally, considering you were able to get Caddy working, that simply drives home that unfortunately your reverse_proxy didn’t work because it was somehow misconfigured. Caddy is also a reverse_proxy.

My comment is pretty much what I said. You have an extremely complex environment that you’re not fully making use of. For example, you’re having issues with a reverse_proxy, but you had Tailscale presumably the whole time. Why not just use your VPN to reverse_proxy your requests if you were having issues?

Also using Caddy + Cloudflare is fine if you want to use cloudflare for DNS, however, Caddy handles all certificates itself. So you have Caddy, which can handle all the SSL certs itself, but you put Cloudflare on top of it to manage SSL certs. It’s just convoluted.

It’s a good environment, but a little overkill.

As someone who’s set up and managed critical business applications I would say that it’s perfectly fine to host your own provided you have decent hardware that’s capable of doing what you need and as a dedicated business line to provide connection.

If you try to run mission critical business applications on a home internet connection you’re going to have a really bad fucking time. But hosting business critical applications on appropriate hardware and a 1Gb/s business connection with an SLA is going to meet 95-98%% of all business applications.

If something like that sounds expensive or too difficult to do then it’s too expensive or too difficult for you to host yourself. Just go with a provider and sidestep self-host.

Debian, baby.

Chest freezers are exceptionally energy efficient. It’s not a very good comparison.

I really love home labs but this sounds incredibly over engineered for its purpose… I would expect a set up like this for an enterprise environment…

I very highly recommend that you take the time and just switch. Caddy is simply fabulous. It’s designed to work (assuming it’s compiled with the module) with containers and use docker networks for routing. It makes it easy to spin up containers and directly reference the container names instead of remembering IP addresses and particularly comes in handy when your entire environment is containerized.

You can pull the caddy image and run it in docker and as long as your environment is configured correctly you can simply reverse_proxy @container and you’re done. Caddy pulls all the relevant port information directly from the container API.

I get such a nerd boner thinking about it.

If the government scrubs my devices for evidence they’re going to find a hell of a lot more than some fabricated antifa PDF. Lol

It’s all perfectly legal to have but still. They would have absolutely no problem framing me with terrorism. Lol

Rethink DNS, DNS Warden, and ControlD with Hagezi blocklists via DoH/3. I highly recommend the ‘+ TIF’ as they are threat intelligence feeds which are up to date lists of bad actors/malware.

Every single action that he does even if it only takes a day to undo took decades to get implemented. Will probably take just as long to get it back.

Imagine working for NOAA tracking weather patterns across the ocean or some crazy shit and a 23 old fucking virgin loser comes up to you and tells you you’re about to lose your job. Lol

No actual professional company or job of value is not going to check your curriculum or your work history… So like sure you may get that job at quality inn as a night manager making $12 an hour because they didn’t fucking bother to check your resume…

But you’re not getting some CS job making $120,000 a year because they didn’t check your previous employer. Lol
