Thanks for sharing! Not all people are aware of the possible dangers and I believe we tend to assume things are safe nowadays.

Honest question: why not use nginx?

I have run it in so many different scenarios, both professionally and personally, its crazy. Nginx has never failed me, literally. My homeserver is quite limited but nginx has a very small footprint, it performs beautifully well and it satisfies all my hosting, proxying, redirecting and streaming needs.

It works for modern and legacy applications, custom code, webhosting, supports all the modern features and its configuration is very easy with literal thousandsof examples available online.

Apache probably can do all that but I hate how unintuitive its configuration is to me personally. HAproxy cant do half the stuff nginx does.

As for caddy Ive heard of it but never really used it. What does it offer that nginx doesnt?

I really liked it. It looks very clean and friendly. I can identify the ui elements with a glance. I know it is not modern and sleek and it doesnt look "gamer" at all, but function wise I think this is great.

Have you played around with Grafana? It really is quite simple if you have prometheus already working.

For a home lab environment you dont even need to use prometheus-alertmanager. Grafana can handle alerts as well.

Grafana also has hundreds of pre-made dashboards you can import. Node monitoring is quite straightforward.

Assuming you have prometheus good to go, all you need to do is go to Grafana - Datasources, create a new datasource, point to your prometheus instance.

Then you can import the dashboards you want.

Now you can setup your alerts - you can use SMTP, telegram, slack among others for your notifications.

Thats amazing! Ive seen some stone soaps but I had no idea thats how it was done, thanks for sharing and beautiful work!

Not a very recognizable meme, so I hope you guys at least find out what it is.

Thanks for the rant, loved reading through it.

It is an interesting thought to think that a poor person is given desire but those ultra rich seem to have converted all of theirs into "more, more, more". Almost like a dragon hiding in their cave hoarding all their treasures.

I am sorry that happened to you

Thanks for sharing your story, though. I have a few domains, two of them being very important for me (one I use for all my emails, and the other one for all my self hosted stuff). So I'll be paying close attention to their renewal

I hope you can find another domain that you like and that you can transfer your stuff to it.

While I think Obsidian is pretty awesome I was disappointed with the outer worlds. Pentiment had a really interesting story though.

Been there, done that lol, my ISP doesnt change my IP half as much as I should like, and I renew my certs half as often as they deserve.

Seriously though, I had certs expire twice until I finally decided to get this setup properly.

That was a great answer, thank you so much!

Yes I didnt even notice the family photos and docs dont need to be on that same server. Initially I just put them there to act as a local file share. But you are absolutely right, moving them from the public server is the best thing I can do to protect them.

I will look into setting up a second server for the private stuff that is not publicluly accessible

I don't personally mind microtransactions as long as they are cosmetic only. What I do mind is how matchmaking got terribly bad.

I am sorry for your loss. I know he was deeply loved and so did he. I am happy you could give that little boy so much love! And I am sure all the love he gave back will live on within you and your partner.

Does this harm twitter in any way?

I mean, if they are still reachable and usable in Brazil, they can still serve ads to those users and so it seems their business doesnt change much?

But there must have been some advantage for twitter in having an office there, otherwise they wouldnt have opened it in the first place.

Because its fun even if the input method isnt perfect. Specially so for casual gamers. Both ports for age of empires play really well on console and I suppose age of mythology will be just as great.

I'm with you on that one. Currently paying for tuta (1$) and addy (1$) and forwardemail (3$). Forwardemail is actually more expensive

But neither proton nor tuta support IMAP, SMTP, at least not without the bridge thing.

IMHO blizzard creates some of the best cinematics, so yeah, I hope they have good work conditions to keep doing that amazing job.

I don't know that character

But it was supposed to be an old skyrim meme:

I don't care for that new cosmetic drive thing. But the changes to respawn system could be interesting. Overwatch really needs to be played as a team and spamming "group up" can only do so much.

Thanks for your reply!

Suggestion 1 definetely does make a lot of sense and I will be doing exactly that asap. Its something I didnt think through before but that would make me much more in peace.

Suggestions 2-4 sound very reasonable, I have indeed searched for a way to self host a waf but didnt find much info. My only only concern with your points is... Cloudflare. From my understanding that would indeed add a lot of security to the whole setup but they would then be able to see everything going through my network, is that right?
