Starting to self host

A lot of people recommend Docker, but I will go further and say to specifically use Docker compose.

That way all the configuration is in a file that you can backup/restore. Updating is really easy, and you will never forget one of the random flags you need to set.

  • PiHole - you can use the custom DNS to route domain names to you npm
  • npm (Nginx proxy manager) - allows easy access to all your services hosted on one box

Password length requirement

Reply in thread

It doesn't matter the input size, it hashes down to the same length. It does increase the CPU time, but not the storage space. If the hashing is done on the client side (pre-transmission), then the server has no extra cost.

For example, the hash of a Linux ISO isn't 10 pages long. If you SHA-256 something, it always results in 256 bits of output.

On the other hand, base 64-ing something does get longer as the input grows.

GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled

Reply in thread

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

  1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn't have Wayland yet
  2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn't work
  3. I don't change my setups that much, so I haven't tried it since
  4. I don't need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
  5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

Goodnight, RIF

I am still baffled that Reddit didn't have options like, ads in API calls for 3rd party apps, or paying Reddit users can use 3rd party apps. It feels like Google blocking me for using Firefox even though I am a Google One subscriber, on a Pixel, browsing over Google Fiber.
