It’s funny, when you explain it, my IT hat goes on and I totally get it lol. I guess the context felt different enough that I didn’t get it. But I work with Windows domains all day and that’s exactly how DNS operates in that environment.
Ultimately I think for a tunnel you’ll end up with your records pointing to your VPS. So you’ll have a *.domain.tld CNAME record and maybe a @ CNAME record and your nginx server on the other end of the tunnel would handle the routing.
Cool bot!
I saw this and I think it’s what I’m going to do too. I figure I can just configure it with my existing nginx information and go from there.
So here is a question: does it need to be a sub domain? Can’t I redirect all traffic to the VPS? If I wanted to host a HTML website at my root domain and have it served by nginx for example, couldn’t I do that?
I just see subdomain mentioned in the guides / tools I see but I don’t understand why exactly.
If your not trying to recover data off anything with a hard drive your doing it wrong!
Oh this is very cool
Don’t join the largest instances then. Lemmy.world is over loaded and mastodon.social is historically overloaded.
I wouldnt use .local as that’s also used by apples Bonjour service if I recall correctly. I use .internal which Google and Facebook currently use for microservice stuff. So the odds it ever becomes a tld are almost null.
My switch to ff coincided with on boarding to Lemmy. Id love to attempt to host my own sync server at some point.
That’s a very specific but relevant tip!
Thanks for the info!
It’s so funny because you can watch the show on the pokemon app but it has the same issue. The seasons are broken up weird, they have weird names. I think they have indigo league and orange islands and that’s it. But it’s not a “streaming service” by any stretch.
I’ll look into jellyfin. I might just try and run it off my PC for now until I have a device I can chuck into my rack.
Haha this comment is keeping it real. That’s a good point. I’ve never looked into a plexshare before. I’ll have to look it up.
I think I salvaged like 6 of them. I’d have to dig them out of a box for a good count.
This is true… I have a feeling my PC is pretty power hungry. I’ll see how hard it would be to get my PC to WoL. I could have it boot up on a schedule and then power off on a schedule.
I can always migrate off it later.
Huh I’ve never looked into Usenets. Any good learning resources on that? But also, your right about DVDs. I think early seasons of Pokemon are hard to find in physical media these days.
Hot dog, I just looked it up. So you set up Sonarr and tell it I want “Pokemon” and it just pulls torrents for the show from feeds it knows?
Now the obvious question I have is, how do I avoid my ISP from freaking out? Is it just as simple as putting it behind say, NordVPN?
It does give you authentication security in that, you should only have an issue if your instance is down. If the instance your account is tied to goes up and down then your ability to access your subscriptions and participate are also up and down.
I wish the identity stuff and authentication was separated from instances, but unfortunately it isn’t.
Voyager has been good. They just implemented a custom emoji fix to that ensures emoji are the correct size regardless of their uploaded size.
