  • Where are you running your wireguard endpoint?

    Jump

  • I have a vps (hetzner dedicated server auction) as well as my home servers. The vps has a fixed IP so ive setup wireguard endpoints to all point to it with forwarding on so can access every device indirectly through the vps. It allows them to work across DDNS or remotely.

    I used this guide (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-ubuntu-20-04). Tried different tools gui's and other methods but always came back to this to work the best

  • Yeah, first try your ISP to see if you can get a dynamic or fixed IP instead. Check if their website/FAQ mentions dynamic IP or cgnat. They might outright reject it, or try to upgrade you to an extortionate business package though. I signed up for my service and checked the cgnat before signing up but they hadn't got around to updating their website that they changed their policy. After the surprise of being behind cgnat and after screenshotting their own website, I complained and hit upgraded to a higher level package for free.

    You can use tailscale to get around it, but then you need to install it on all devices and login. You can use cloudflare tunnels and think you can set it to not require login for some services. Both rely on third parties. Both are also safer than exposing directly to the public internet.

    If you want full control, you have to rent a cheap vps and setup a tunnel between that and your home server, then use the public IP of the vps for your services. Wireguard is probably the best choice for VPN. You could try pangolin, which is an open source cloudflare tunnel so is more complicated than a VPN but also includes a reverse proxy.

  • What steps can be taken to prevent AI training and scraping of my public facing website?

    Jump

  • In an ideal world this should be the case but I can't afford to do this practically and my business is a service, based on UK laws and requirements, available to UK residents only. The website is for information only and nothing is new or interesting to anybody but a few potential clients, and if theyre looking at it on holiday, theres something wrong with them! Nobody is going to reach out based on my website from abroad and if they did, I would not trust them at all. They would reach out through personal contacts or linkedin. If the bots stop spamming my site or server, I can stop limiting it.

  • Another option to reduce (but not eliminate) this traffic is a country limit. In cloudflare you can set a manual security rule to do this. There are self hosted options too but harder to setup. It depends what country you are and where your users are based. My website is a business one so I only allow my own country (and if on holiday I might open that country if I need to check it's working, although usually I just use a paid vpn back to my country so no need). You can also block specific countries. So many of my blocked requests are from USA, China, Russia etc

  • Vince Gilligan’s "Breaking Bad" is one of the most interesting critiques of American urbanism in contemporary television

    Jump

  • I think we're both correct and the og picture has included a photo of the pluribus set by accident. I've been trying to find a similar shot in breaking bad but nothing comes close, especially the view from the house to the street and beyond. All shots I can find (without rewatching the whole series) show the house itself.

  • You could be behind CGNAT - I'm not sure the best way to tell but it could be the reason.

    I would also highly recommend buying a cheap domain to use - it would be the price of a coffee per year but makes life so much easier and you don't have to depend on duckdns. You can buy through cloudflare, porkbun or many other options which you can search for a good DDNS service to update them.

  • Do cheap motorcycles also apply?

  • A small percentage of humans are knobs, so if you split into drivers, bikers, cyclists and pedestrians, then within each one there are knobs. I regularly see all go through red lights, go the wrong way up a road, don't give way etc.

    The impact of these are different though. Drivers kill, and can kill other drivers and anyone else on the road. Motorcycles can kill cyclists and pedestrians but are more likely to be killed themselves by drivers. Cyclists can hurt and even kill pedestrians (although lower chance), and can be killed by drivers and bikers. Pedestrians are just exposed as fuck.

    We should design the roads to reflect that - pedestrians first, [transit maybe here?] cyclists, bikers, then drivers.

    I think bikers should be factored in and in some cases fuckcars includes them as victims of car brained culture (and acknowledge they are smaller, less harmful up the environment etc) and in some cases say fuckbikes (they can kill you and do emit green house gases).

  • How is London like nowadays?

    Jump

  • In what sense? It's pretty hard to compare a Saturday afternoon in Trafalgar Square vs Canary Wharf vs Burgess Park to a Tuesday morning rush hour time in those same places.

    It's a massive global city with anything you can possibly want to do or eat, with some amazing areas to some shit areas and everything in between! It can sometimes be crazy, hectic, busy, expensive but theres a reason went millions of people live and/or work or travel there every single day.

    It's not for everyone but that's fine. I know people who can't stand it, and I personally can't imagine living anywhere else. Most people fall somewhere in the middle though. Everything in life is a compromise in some way.

    Currently, it's colourful and busy with Christmas lights, parties and markets. Crime feels the same it's ever done (generally pretty safe but you have to be careful). It's so much nicer to walk /cycle places than it used to be with wider pavements, pedestrian areas, cycling lanes etc. If you're driving, it's horrible. The tube older lines are still horrible but new Elizabeth line is amazing. Some suburbs have lots of flags up, some have none at all. The cost of everything is crazy - £8-9 for a pint typically.

  • Tower of London reopens after apple crumble thrown at crown jewels display

  • "Criminal damage", of course. Of course the obtaining of the crown jewels was always completely moral, justified and legal, like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor signed over by an 11 year old is valid and definitely not a spoil of war...

  • Same. I finally switched over to jellyfin recently as it was low down on a long list of stuff I want to do, let alone need to do. I feel like I got my worth and if things mess up with jellyfin, I've got a temporary backup option to spin up without having to give a single penny more. Fingers crossed, no more of my data either seeing as it's all uninstalled.
