  • Always fun when it tries to circumvent the problem i gave it.

    “Hey claude i have had this issue for a while and i want to explore to understand whats going on to finally fix it”

    Many frustrating back and forth later

    “This clearly isn’t working, what if we tried to circumspect the issue by doing something else entirely like workaround i have been using for the last month

    I mean i was just making a relatable joke for people who know what its like to struggle mentally, this wasn’t an issue that needs solving, but if you cant relate then honestly that is great for you.

    My partner has been looking for a hobby that does not burn them out for over half their life that is not “sleeping till next shift”.

    Most of these generic kind of suggestion all amount to “have you tried to just not having problems?”





  • I actually looked this up earlier today because i didn’t understand part of it.

    An ssh key is, as i understand it, a way to encrypt the connection so only a device that has they key can unlock it.

    There are 2 parts, a private key which should never be shared and a public one which can freely be shared.

    You usually generate both keys on the device that connects to the ssh, keep the private key on there with the public key going on the server. Thats the part that confused me. (Why is the secret one not on the server i don’t want people to access)

    But the way it works is that the public key is used to encrypt/lock something.And only the private key can unlock it.

    Any other device that tries to connect just gets an encrypted connection they don’t have the key for. Because these keys are so long no current day tool can guess or crack them. So it is the absolute safest way to establish an ssh connection.

    Quantum computers might in the future be able to break them but solutions for this are being worked on.

    There are also some systems where you have 2 key pairs where the server also has a private key, to authenticate both ways.


  • I think the general gist is as beginner self hosters we get more and more comfortable too “easily spin up a docker webserver”

    At some point we arrive at “what other services can i host” and email is a pretty obvious addition expecting it to at least not be more difficult then running nextcloud.

    It may be doable but hell is it not a comparable challenge.
