Idk… Storage, upkeep, anti-theft… Seems like a lot of work.

YoU WoUlDn’T dOwNlOaD A Car!?!?!

You’re damn right I would; get me a 3D printer big enough…

Anyone can cosplay as an ICE agent; all you’ve gotta do is remove your license plate and wear a facemask+hat.

A lot of the hate comes from Microsoft forcing it down everyones throats.

If it had been left to user choice, they may actually have a decent userbase; but instead it’s been forcefully installed on pretty much every windows computer regardless of the owners preferences, it repeatedly re-asserts itself as the default browser, some windows features are hard-coded to use it and break if its removed, there is no simple uninstall process, and windows update will re-install it if you manually remove it.

It’s my damn computer; if I don’t want a piece of software, I should be able to remove it.

Ditched Windows entirely 2 years ago partly because of that, partly because of the same upcoming behaviour with AI. Fuck Microshaft, I’ll take my money and attention elsewhere. (I was previously paying for/using pro licenses, for features like RDP hosting)

 sudo chown -R <user> /

Never have a permission issue again! Lmao

Participated in democracy? Devoured by vampires, lmao

But if you’re born in the USA, you didn’t agree to any ToS it was forced upon you at birth. Never chose to accept/agree to them, but obligated to follow them or face punishment.

A contract signed under duress is invalid.

-having no personal insight/knowledge of japan’s drug scene, just my impressions-

Saying you’ve found none in six years, doesn’t make me think there’s none comming through; I immediately think you haven’t been looking very hard.

Finding very little I could understand, but NONE? Na, you need to try harder.

An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)

ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.

And finally, I’ve got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.

There’s also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that’s very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.

This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there’s interest.

Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family without having to guide them through/restrict them to a vpn connection.

You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.

JFC when did we end up with that many???

It’s been a while since I paid attention obviously; but I thought there were like 5 AC games, maybe 6-7.

13??? How many ways can you make poking someone with a hidden blade interesting…

I use cloudflared to translate DNS into DNS over TLS instead of Unbound to make it into recursive DNS. Just never really seen the need to switch it. I’m happy with nextDNS + Cloudflare resolving DNS upstream.

The main thing I wanted to note is port 53 outbound is blocked at the router to prevent devices from using external/unencrypted DNS. If a LAN device wants DNS resolution they MUST use the LAN DNS servers they were given via DHCP, or use their own DoT config, as plain DNS won’t make it out of the network.

It’s because of this block/enforcement that I run two local DNS servers: pihole on an RPI and a mirror on my main server tower, with Galaxy-Sync keeping them identical. If I tinker with/update one, the other picks up the slack so connectivity/resolution isn’t disrupted.

Hard to say for sure really.

I can respect someone’s religious views as long as they aren’t trying to push them on me. That’s to say; not trying to make me believe the same or insist that I have to follow the rules of their chosen religion.

As far as my own views go; I don’t follow any particular religion. I don’t necessarily believe there isn’t some form of god, but I don’t follow/believe in any specific deity either. Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t; but there have been hundreds of thousands of gods/goddesses/deities/religious figures throughout human history. Who’s to say you’ve chosen the correct one, along with the correct set of (sometimes oddly specific) rules and regulations to go along with it?

You want commandments to follow? Here’s one:

“Don’t be an asshole”

Everything else kind of just falls into place around that. As long as we can respect each other and our differences; yeah, romance is certainly possible.

That’s fair. I think it kind of depends on how much you interact with creators and their communities. (comment sections, comunity posts, live content, etc)

I haven’t browsed Reddit since the creation of my Lemmy account (~2years ago); though I’ve wound up viewing a Reddit thread or two via a google search on rare occasion. Beyond those two, the only other ‘social media’ I’ve used in at least a decade is Youtube.

Officer, are you a doctor??? Didn’t think so; I’ll be on my way now.

Woops

I missed that; bit of a sensitive topic atm…

A) I’m not American

And

B) America can go fuck itself until it sorts out it’s Nazi problem. I still think Canada should enact a full trade embargo and take our business elsewhere.

It appears white/gold to me on it’s own, I’ve never been able to see anything different.

Grabbing this specific image and sampling the colours though; they appear more of a grey/brown colour. I can sorta maybe understand blue, but definitely not black.
