I have like 30 different services running on the same machine.

That’s why you want to use some container solution, I use docker for simplicity.

Also raspberry pi is not great for self hosting. Any cheap x64 machine will be much more powerful for the same price, and have less compatibility issues.

The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh.

5 years the last one.

The hardware, including battery, worked great. But it has been lacking updates for some years and I’m worried about vulnerabilities. LineageOS was also not available for this phone.

I bought a phone with 7 years updates and my initial intention is keeping it for 7 years. More if an stable and secure version of LineageOS is available down the line.

I remember cleverbot back in the day, and thinking that was peak.

I’m a little paranoid, so this is my security set up.

SSH, blocked at firewall level, only allowing specific local IP to access port 22. Also authentication is done by key, with password disabled.

Most services are local only and I access them through wireguard VPN when I’m outside my home.

For services that need a domain name and be public facing, I use a reverse proxy, with the following protections:

• Very restrictive geoIP block, only my country can access.
• Restrictive rate limiting.
• Crodwsec, with community lists, a pluging for open lists, community rules and my own very restrictive set of rules for banning attackers. (For instance as soon as the requested path contains “.env” that’s an instant ban, no second chances).
• Monitoring through grafana.
• Some complex services that need a valid tls handshake but I only want to use them myself have a setup when they are technically open to the net, to get let’s encrypt, but the server rejects every IP request but mine.

Recently I also reduced some noise, surface attack, deleting the A register from my second level domain and using an obscured target for the CNAME records. I also want to delete the www subdomain as it gets a lot of uneeded noise.

Alleged? Lol

They destroyed the denuvo drm.

I hope they go bankrupt. Why would any company pay for such an expensive drm if it doesn’t work?

Life on other planets? Seems likely.

Life on earth started pretty soon once the conditions were met.

Intelligent life (humanlike), maybe not. Most probably not. Out of millions of species through billions of years only humans have evolved to have this kind of thinking machine during a relatively short period of time.

I don’t have a gender (I lost it somewhere, sorry), and I still call myself feminist.

I think feminism is something more related to the fight against a type of oppression rather than an identity thing.

You have anything online you will be hammered by bots trying to get through. That’s the sad reality of the world we live on. It has been like that forever. I get hundreds of bot malicious scans on my server each day.

All that’s left is to secure everything as hard as you can so they cannot break through.

Only with some heavy restrictions.

Imagine a forum where you can, by default, only see the messages of people in your allow list.

That way spammers and people with bad intentions will just scream into the void.

Object detection and recognition for my self hosted security cameras.

They use a ML model to recognize which objects are in the picture.

None of the objectives were met.

We tried so hard and still were unable to stop any opening, cause any closure or push the legislative changes we wanted (limiting the amount of gambling houses that could be opened). They just opened as many houses as they liked.

My lesson was to not follow anything blindly even if it was said by people I respect. Always analyze by myself and be skeptical of everything.

It might be very country specific. But gambling houses.

They started to proliferate in my country around 10 years ago, and they said they were going to be the end of our youth. I, myself, went to a lot of actions to stop them.

We failed to stop them.

And 10 years after… Nothing happened. There are no mesurable increase in social problems due to the massive increase in gambling I was told it was going to happen. Also the houses themselves are always empty, people gamble mostly online anyway. But they put so much pressure on us to stop the opening of the physical buildings and cause rhe closure of the ones already opened.

I’m in principle against them still. Just because I don’t like people making money out of people addicted to gambling. But I’m also kind of mad that I spent to much time, effort, and even got sued for what we tried to do to stop them, just for them not really being as much as a threat as I was told they were. And my efforts would have been much better spent elsewhere.

At least I learned a very valuable lesson.

Okay, then change the store and put “rent” on the button that leads to payment.

If you declare an antifascist organization as terrorism you are outing yourself, mate.

Partial scaling.

X way to do it was a hack that works not so well.

Business don’t pay sales tax though.

At least in my country they don’t. Sale tax is directed to the final customer.

I think when they do it with words like this is for engagement.

Free comments.

I don’t like indirect taxes. Having to pay a 10% sales tax for a 300.000€ house just breaks my poor ass.

Please take ALL the money the government needs in direct taxes to the income. Those are proportional so they are more fair.

Apparently, hyperinflation.
