How exactly does that prevent spam, vs just using other existing established verification methods like email validation? If the only goal is preventing spam, its overkill, and other web sites who also have to contend with spam don’t use it.

It’s trivial to create new accounts and emails to verify those accounts. It is not trivial to get a new phone number since virtual numbers are blocked by the verification process.

Neither have sauce in them, they are more akin to a calzone

That’s not what the definition said, realise is just the British spelling. If you re-read the definition in your screenshot, it says both realizes and realises are 3rd person present

I believe the developer is in complete control of the pricing on steam, so it would be the developer being shady

there’s an entire wikipedia article for this that makes it super easy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirated_movie_release_types

Is it just me or does that “comparison” make no sense for this thread. It’s mostly comparing vaultwarden to the cloud version of bitwarden, not the self hosted version. It only mentions the self hosted version in passing. It doesn’t do anything to help someone choose between vaultwarden and self hosted bitwarden

It sounds like what you need to do at this point is find what IP address your lemmy instance and mastodon instance containers are using on your VPS. you can do “docker inspect containername” and look for the IP address in there. it might be something like 172.16.0.1 for lemmy and 172.17.0.1 for mastodon. then you want to set up your reverse proxy to point lmy.my-domain.tld to 172.16.0.1:80 (or whatever port you set lemmy to use) and then mstdn.my-domain.tld to point to 172.17.0.1:80 (again, port might be different, i dont know what the default port is)

-IF- both of the containers are using the same IP, then you will need to make sure that they are using different ports. if they are on the same ip and same port, whichever container loads 2nd will fail to properly load, because when a port is taken on an IP address, it is reserved and nothing else can try to listen on that port.

So a reverse proxy is sort of like a phonebook or directory, it routes outside requests to the appropriate place. So imagine your reverse proxy is a receptionist, someone comes in and says “hey I am looking for plex.mydomain.com” the receptionist would then use the phonebook and say “ok if you are looking for plex.mydomain.com, go to building 192.168.1.10 (the ip), room 9000 (the port)”

Since you are asking about dockerized services, the networking for those can be done in several different ways, but the one thing that really matters is that each service needs to have a unique combination of ip and port, because only 1 service can live at each address. With docker, you could set up multiple services that use the host server’s ip, in which case each container will need to be on different ports, or you could have it so each container has its own ip, in which case the port can be anything.

homeassistant community store has a cloudflared add-on that works great to get it to easily work over cloudflare tunnels

I believe in China red/green meaning is reversed for things like this, where red means positive/good and green means negative/bad

Just fyi how a client handles multiple DNS servers might not always be you expect and just depends on how it was implemented. Some clients can just send a DNS request to all DNS servers at once and take whatever responds first, essentially randomizing which DNS server gets used

The adaptive lighting is also my favorite, I do a daylight color temp at high brightness during the day and a warm 20% brightness during the night, with it changing from bright to the night color over the course of several minutes if the light is already on when the sun sets

You didn’t keep your 2fa backup codes like they tell you to do?

I’m fairly certain hardware based 2fa has been around since the early 90s maybe even earlier. It’s not the maturity that’s the issue, as I’m fairly certain its significantly older than application based, but that it’s extremely inconvenient for the user to have to buy a physical key and keep it safe

kbin and lemmy are different softwares, but they are both used for link aggregation and the 2 softwares use a common protocol, so they can talk to each other. So there are kbin servers and lemmy servers, and they are all interconnected.

So now we can take this post as an example:

You are a user on kbin.social

You posted this question on /m/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world - this means the community you posted on is actually hosted on lemmy.world

lemmy.world then tells other instances that its federated with that someone just made a post on /c/nostupidquestions on its instance. what kbin calls magazines are called communities on lemmy, hence the /c/ instead of the /m/.

kbin.social and all the other instances will then also show this post, even though it originally was created on a different instance

Isn’t it just that the hot algorithm freezes and stops updating? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I’m on kbin and the hot sorting works and it’s great for checking a few times a day since it actually updates

While IN THEORY true, testing has revealed that there is definitely a number of cables that say they are rated for a certain spec, but don’t actually meet the spec, so the signal can fail or deteriorate despite everything being within the stated spec. I would personally stay away from the random no name cables that are weirdly super cheap, and just stick with the more well known brands like monoprice or infinite cables

I also used plex for my kids for a while and for the longest time I simply put a couple HDDs into my personal PC and ran plex off my PC. It was more than adequate for just letting them watch whatever shows they wanted, no need to go crazy if you don’t have the need for more!

I would also test by connecting to the vpn and trying to go to a service’s ip or ping an ip on the network behind the vpn from the browser. I use juice and ovpn on my router as well and it works fine, so its unlikely to be a juice specific problem

Look into NUT, Network UPS Tools. It runs in a server/client type of set up. You’d install the server onto the device that has the UPS data connected to it. It then monitors the UPS status and can tell all the clients to shutdown when the UPS is running low.
