This guy quiet quits.

Then go make it.

You get a steamdeck.

No one is universally loved. Everyone brave enough to put themselves out there will have people push back and talk trash. If doing what you do brings you some joy, do your best to ignore them and push on.

The sun is going to explode, eventually. My guy. I still need somewhere to live. And I’m not about to go live in the bush.

It’s disturbing how much I wanna try this.

Beans. That explains my MacDonald’s yesterday.

Okay. But no. You can find evidence of god or a simulation the same way. Confirmation bias. There is no way to prove either belief.

Bold of you to assume if I own a house I’ll pay any of those.

Wtf am I gonna use credit for? Redo my roof. I’ll put out a bucket.

Feels good to know I’m not the only big rig/bicyclist in the world.

I wonder if those same five people are sad, presumably because their posts aren’t as popular.

ProtonMail. 100%.

I set up custom DNS and catchall so [email protected] is really how I filter spam.

Please note, saltycowboy.org isn’t really my domain.

1. Debian, unless I’m doing something specific like Home Assistant OS
2. Yeah, usually. The GUI uses so much system resources just to sit there and be unused. That said I do have a Windows VM for Quicken that I remote into to manage my families finances. Of course that isn’t headless.

Hover includes whois privacy for free

This is how I get books to my Kindle. So, take that to the bank for what it’s worth.

Second. I used to self-host Bitwarden. Then I realized it’d be too devistating to lose all my passwords, even with backups. So I moved to their cloud service and paid for my families accounts too.

Joplin tho, Joplin stays on the server with no backup. I should really, really make a backup this weekend.

Why does Kirk climb a mountain?

Because it’s there!

I host in the way that you describe: “service.domain.com”. I use Cloudflare, docker, and Caddy.

I don’t remember any pit falls off the top of my head. Make sure to use HTTPS (port 443). Everything on http is basically open for everyone to see. Caddy should set that up for you automatically, tho. I recently moved to Caddy from Traefik, it’s an awesome tool.

Oh, here’s a pitfall. One time I opened a port, #22, for ssh access to my server. I installed fail2ban on my server. One weekend I looked at my logs and found I’d banned hundreds of IP addresses. Some bot found my open port and then begun attacking the login with some kinda rainbow table. I moved the port from the ssh default to something else and never had a problem since.

Also, and this isn’t a requirement but just useful, I set up a VLAN for my selfhosted server. It’s firewalled from my local network. That way, if someone access’ my server they don’t have access to my whole network.

So, tldr, have fun and midigate risk where you can.

Touch screens are a pox upon vehicles, and need to be removed.

I’m reading about Caddy and playing around with it. It seems pretty straightforward. I’ll have to see if I can’t implement it.
