  • Does it matter?

    No, it does not change, but why is this something of concern? The problem is duckdns DOES NOT REPLY providing DNS replies, not to my own servers, but to people outside looking for my servers by typing their address. Duck fails to provide a response to those queries, and users get timeouts. I can frequently replicate this with either dig or nslookup, from different machines, either inside my network or at random connections.

    I managed today to run certbot to register 2 new subdomains that yesterday consistently failed with a long timeout during THE WHOLE DAY. Today the same certbot command on the same server ran straight at the first attempt.

    So…yeah. Unreliable.













  • I love the idea, but in reality I think it’s a bit clunky having to wait for the app finishing it’s scanning (Every. Time. It. Opens), which is… kinda slow, before you can get to see the gallery. And yes, the whole purpose of the app is to use the index it builds, but it should be able to let you use an outdated index while a new one is being rebuilt, instead of having you wait forever each time.

    I do have a large gallery, so maybe this is not an issue with smaller photo albums.
