Okay, that makes much more sense.

Wait, is it required to mirror the entire Bluesky history? Can’t you just store only new messages? Because the storage requirements (4.5TB according to the article) make it almost impossible to self-host.

While technically simple, it demands a lot of coordination as the actor has to time their lines and actions flawlessly for the trick to work.

I’m not familiar with Nextcloud, but from reading the How to use this? section of the README I believe you can run it behind a reverse proxy:

--publish 80:80 This means that port 80 of the container should get published on the host using port 80. It is used for getting valid certificates for the AIO interface if you want to use port 8443. It is not needed if you run AIO behind a web server or reverse proxy and can get removed in that case as you can simply use port 8080 for the AIO interface then.

(Emphasis mine, in “Explanation of the command”)

My understanding is you only have to forward traffic from the reverse proxy to the port 8080. It uses a self-signed certificate though, so you might check if the reverse proxy you are using checks certificates signatures for upstream servers.

It is possible, what you’re looking for is a reverse proxy: it’s an HTTP server that will listen to the standard ports for HTTP and HTTPS that will redirect traffic to the chosen service based on the domain name or URL.

In your case, every subdomain would point to your VPS’s IP and traffic that’s for mastodon.example.tld will be seemlesly proxied to your Mastodon container.

Do some research on Caddy or Nginx, and I strongly recommend you learn Docker Compose and Docker networking, it will help you make it easier to maintain everything.

PS: CNAME pointing to A record is the way to go. You can do it one better by having a CNAME entry for *.example.tld, so that you don’t have to create a CNAME entry for every new service you deploy, but you better make sure that your reverse proxy won’t proxy requests to an unexpected container when requesting a bogus subdomain.

I already did back when Microsoft announced they would drop WMR, but it was (and still is) pretty experimental, with no controller support and 6DoF requiring external tracking.

For me it’s one year to keep Windows Mixed Reality working. I’m still miffed that they pulled the plug with no alternative other than putting my headset in the bin and get a new one…

I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I’m surprised it had not improved since then.

RSS/ATOM has to be the best thing to come out of XML

It does for a few versions now, and even before there was at least one extension adding this feature.

I think the “upgrade bugs” mentioned in the article are bugs happening when upgrading from previous LTS versions of Ubuntu, as usually the . 1 release is the first one to be suggested for upgrade to these installs.

24.04 was released in April, as usual. Here we’re talking about 24.04.1, which could be seen as a “Service Pack” as it includes every patches released since then.

This makes me feel even more uneasy about Double Fine’s acquisition by Microsoft: I’m afraid that MS could someday deem the studio redundant and kill it rather than let employees buy it back just like Bungie was allowed to do back then.

Soon we will have to call it GNU/systemd/Linux

Well, mine runs fine with a clean install of Ubuntu 23.10, I did not encounter any of the issues OP mentions. (note: my model doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor)

You don’t need TPM to enable LUKS. TPM allows you to store the LUKS keys in a secure enclave in order to automatically decrypt the drives on boot.

Ubuntu (on which Pop!_OS is based) only added support for TPM disk encryption in Ubuntu 23.10, so my guess is that you’ll have to wait for Pop!_OS 24.04

Note that, as I understand it, using TPM will only protect data on your encrypted disk if it is removed from your computer. If someone steals your entire computer, the disk will be decrypted on boot.

I think the rule would only apply to paid games since it exists to prevent people from buying games for cheap on markets other than theirs. So I’m not sure Valve would ban users for adding a F2P game to their library with a VPN.
