Recommendations to replace AWS DNS?

There are plenty of good options out there! Many use Cloudflare, though they are another giant. I've been happy with dsec and freedns, and would recommend both.

Ive used freedns for over a decade; it's simple and straightforward. Their free tier is plentiful, and their subscription costs are reasonable.

I recently moved my self-hosted services to dsec so I could better automate SSL certs. It's been nice and easy too!

How'd you get into programming?

It's honestly funny because I learned the concepts in the math classes a lot better as a result of this - it took a very thorough understanding of how to use a concept to write a program to solve it for you.

My experience almost exactly. I built the interest by making/hacking TI-83 games, then made math class programs which i never really used because i had learned the material. It was fun, eye opening, and paved a path to my career!

Local homeserver suddenly not responsive to SSH but can be pinged

I had similar behavior caused by file corruption, and what I believe was a faulty SD card. Also on an RPi. Thankfully I had most of my services and configs backed up and on another disk.

I was also digging through system journals and log files, tracking down what the heck was failing. Eventually I found some system files which were corrupted, and re flashed the SD. Ended up happening a couple times before I replaced it.

Comfort games?

Tunic was epic! I loved the quiet vibe, and the natural self-paced exploration. One of the few games where I've pulled out a notepad to help track or figure out puzzles!
