Absolute, fanatical concentration.

How does it not mitigate the danger? You are putting a secure web server in front of the tunnel rather than basically all traffic being forwarded to the port?

It’s probably a bit dangerous to expose your internal network in this way. If you really want a server running at home, there are interesting services which provide that for a fee, or you could set up a “reverse ssh proxy”.

It’s easier to do on some flavor of Linux, but you will set up a background service to ssh to a cloud server you rent, which links a local port on the cloud server to a local port on your home computer. You can then run a web service like caddy server on the cloud server to securely serve this port.

I realize this sounds rather complex, but something to look into and learn.

Your Caddyfile on the cloud server will look something like this:

my_subdomain.my_domain.com {
    reverse_proxy / {
        to 127.0.0.1:8081
    }
    encode gzip
}

And the service on your local will look something like this:

[Unit]
Description=Keeps a reverse tunnel to '<your cloud server ip>' open on port 8081 on the remote server
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Environment="AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/autossh -N -M 10986 -o "PubKeyAuthentication=yes" -o "PasswordAuthentication=no" -o "ExitOnForwardFailure=yes" -R 8081:127.0.0.1:8080 root@<your cloud server ip> -i <path to your ssh key> -p 2097

ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You will have to allow ssh on a non standard port (arbitrarily 2097 here), that way you can still use ssh on the standard port 22. I have some services running like this through a NAT for years.

I understand the language in question well enough to proof read it, so it amounts to a teaching tool for me. It’s benefit is that it copies a wealth of (mostly) correct text so I get the right idioms, vocabulary, and grammar, or the appropriate slang version.

It is extremely useful for suggesting translations and translating unclear foreign language sentences

Appreciate the clarification, I was not aware that some federal workers were outside of the social security system!

It means you contributed to a pension directly or indirectly as well as social security and now you don’t get the social security that was part of the original deal. It’s a little nibble away at the edges to soften retirees up for the next nibbles

I hate dish towels hanging on kitchen drawers. Do people just like picking up the towel every time you need a fork?

This is the real explanation. There is no more choice to rent a cheap apartment or buy an expensive house. You can live in a van maybe but that’s being outlawed in many states. My brother in law and his family are paying almost $2000/month for a shitty apartment built in the 1970s. I bet the same place will be $4000 in 10 years, and even shittier.

This goes back to around 2000. Snake hunting in the Everglades middle of the night, my friend and I saw a black panther. I know, I know, impossible, Florida doesn’t have them etc etc etc. we both saw it clear as in a zoo in the floodlights of his truck. 100% big cat, 100% black.

Id go so far as to say SaaS in general. Small startups are paying $5000/month to send emails and we’ve come to the point where inboxes are monopolized and if you don’t pay up to a cloud provider your emails end up in spam.

Take this and repeat for everything. Monopolize, ratchet up the costs, profit.

That’s because soft toilet paper is too gay for Russia.

Put a yard sign up that says “future home of thousand wags dangerous animal shelter and child sex offender rehabilitation facility”

I’m not sure you can blame short term rentals for this happening in desirable vacation spots worldwide. People have become much more mobile, and a decade of very cheap interest rates mean that there is no more “run down cheap cabin in the woods” any more. Even for owners who have owned those properties for many years, insurance costs and taxes have spike along with the housing costs.

I own a home in a very expensive area with extremely limited geography that prevents additional development, but also has in place a practical ban on short term rentals- 28 day minimum. This has not led to more affordable housing, but rather a lot of empty vacation homes owned by very wealthy people and $700/night hotel rooms. Also, locals being pushed out due to spiralling insurance and property tax increases. All without short term rental being a factor.

Delinquent accounts without payment can be removed from your credit report by disputing with the credit bureau, with the exception of FEDERAL student loans. Filing for bankruptcy and having that on your record for seven more years seems like the worst possible way to deal with it.

False. New debt collectors purchasing the debt does not reset the clock. Also depending on your state, debt collectors could be barred from legal action well before 7 years.

After careful deliberation, we have decided that Jordan is a female name and are unable to renew your contract until you have completed an official name change to Joseph

We are usually diametrically opposed to taxing spending, but what about a corporate luxury tax on stock buybacks? Buybacks are the latest scheme to inflate executive and top shareholder pay while at the same time making capital unavailable when needed. Claim chapter 11, negotiate debts, lay off employees, rinse and repeat. Moral hazard.

More bureaucracy to bring animals in. I would love to know numbers on how many animals imported to the US brought rabies with them due to non-cdc verified vaccination records.

We already have rabies in the US, what exactly are we keeping out?

Yeah gross. Everyone knows dr pepper is the breakfast sort drink.
