This is stupid as hell.

You should be able to set it up, which seems to be the crux of your question.

The reason for the conflict is likely that the traffic is encrypted through the tunnel, but cloudflare holds the certificates needed to verify the identity of your site and can see all the traffic.

But tunnels are done by having your server initiate the connection with cloudflare, so it behaves like a client in terms of networking, and it should work in most cases.

(Worth noting that video was against their policies for using at least the free tunnels last I was aware, so if that’s part of your use case you might not be able to use it.)

My guess is that it doesn’t do much that you don’t specifically tell it to, so you have to manually configure printing at some point.

Value is absolutely not arbitrary.

“Reasonable” means comparable with x86/ARM at the same performance level. Anything more is, by definition, not capable of being reasonably priced.

You’re again advocating for an imaginary investment in a bad product.

My interpretation was by far the most generous to your position, because it’s the only way it’s coherent.

If people bought [this hardware that doesn’t actually provide anything anyone can realistically use at a reasonable price] it might eventually not suck. That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.

What are you talking about perfection?

Buying something that doesn’t function is never rational.

You’re responding to a post about exploiting kernel level anticheat and saying it would only be a targeted attack, despite that inherently not making sense. When you find a vulnerability in that software, there is absolutely no reason not to spread it en masse. The cost to infect one person is the same as the cost to affect tens of thousands or more. The game is both the vulnerability and the distribution method.

Gamers aren’t more valuable. They’re more accessible. Because there isn’t a kernel rootkit “anticheat” developer on the planet who gives two shits about security in any context, and there are a massive number of systems that their insane hacky bullshit touches. Every single one of them has their security automatically compromised. The goal isn’t just information. You’re getting a massive, distributed, residential IP botnet that you can’t lose unless they throw their systems in the trash.

For what reason?

Kernel level game anticheats are a great attack vector, and it’s one that inherently identifies and enables distribution to other vulnerable targets. It’s begging to self replicate.

Industrial espionage does not make sense, because most enterprises have, even if imperfect, restrictions on what can be installed on company computers that contain valuable information. You’re not going to get a game with kernel malware on a managed enterprise computer.

I don’t see it being a mass target attack like a worm could be.

Why not? Malware that survives a full new install is extremely valuable, and there are loads of games adding vulnerabilities with required kernel level rootkits. It’s only a matter of time until one of these vendors is exploited, and why wouldn’t you permanently own the significant chunk of the market with unpatched serious vulnerabilities while you’re at it?

The cost isn’t that high. They’re already doing it for a bunch of parallel systems.

In a just world they’d be legally required to provide the fixes, or fully refund the entire platform cost. It’s not remotely ethical to allow this to exist unpatched anywhere, regardless of support life.

I’m not buying hardware that doesn’t suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.

Is he planning to also use the laptop as a laptop?

If not, there are small form factor PCs (especially if you’re willing to buy used business stuff) that don’t take up a lot of space that can be good options. Laptops have some features that are kind of nice on a server as well (the battery becomes a backup against power outages and you don’t need to remote access or plug stuff in to use it because it has a built in display and keyboard), but I don’t think they’re so nice that it’s usually worth buying a laptop just for that purpose. It’s more a reason that repurposing an old one makes sense. If you’re willing to pay the premium a new laptop adds, you can get some pretty low profile units.

(Again, understanding it’s not just for me), I’m not interested in a web app and don’t consider a web app a substitute for a native one, so this would not turn the software from something I won’t use into something I will.

Yeah, I understand that it’s not an overnight thing, and would like to keep an eye on this, because I think the actual features look good (a lot of the way towards what I was considering making a simple version of for myself just to be able to structure my stuff better).

But I do a lot of my interaction with notes is on my iPhone, or my iPad, when I don’t want to deal with a computer. Once I’m to the computer I want all my stuff already mapped out so I can convert it to code (or insert other project here).

(Which again, I understand that this project obviously isn’t for me specifically. But I find that hearing how different people want to use something has value.)

The feature set looks decent, but it’s not really an alternative to One Note or similar (none of which really work for me either) without fully featured apps for iOS and Android.

Nothing federated. I respect everyone who makes it possible, and there’s an actual path to me being willing to participate, unlike corporate social media, but the level of exposure/overhead to prevent having genuinely bad shit touch my server is not something I’m comfortable with. I want stuff I can ignore for a week and not have the end of the world happen, which means at most user generated content from people I know personally.

In terms of what I’m currently hosting, just some mild personal content servers and a discord bot running a couple games on small servers with friends.

I’d like to get further into a personal site, to share my pictures/videos with friends, document/share my reading in ways goodreads and available alternatives don’t do, and similar things like that that I genuinely am fine if no one looks at, but I can tell a friend “yeah, these are my favorite psychology books with a blurb on each”, and “these are my favorite fiction series (actually organized by series as first class citizens, because no one really does that) with quick summaries of what I like about them”, etc. I do a couple of the lists on goodreads, but you can’t do blurbs on series, do lists by series, it won’t even display your lists ordered or with your reviews properly included any more, and ultimately I’m going to track it all anyways so I want it structured and displayed in a way that actually makes sense to me.

I don’t really want social media features and I definitely don’t want to try to “grow it” or any of that nonsense, but ultimately I want to better track and organize all of that and don’t really love the tools available, so rolling my own and “I might as well pretty up the presentation and make some of it public facing to discuss with friends” once I get the proper structuring handled.

If it uses tags correctly you can just filter in and out what you want to see, then bunch by other common tags or whatever.

I have not reached the point of finding the right book hosting to properly self host my large collection of books, so I can’t really give a suggestion for a good browsing experience, but just generally speaking tags allow as much structure and organization as the front end wants to take advantage of. I’ve seen plenty of platforms that, once you pick your first tag, give a sorted list of other common tags you can dig down into, in addition to showing the list of content that meets the tag by whatever criteria you have. (An example I’m not sure exists, but very easily could, is to take the highest frequency set of tags with the least overlap (fiction/nonfiction/kids) and display them as titled shelves, then, once you click that, breaks down that group in the same manner until extra tags aren’t really useful.)

But in terms of the information they contain, the real world is fuzzy, so a method that allows for fuzzy buckets instead of strict ones is going to be more representative of the eventual content.

Use something that supports tags properly.

It lets you handle fuzzy boundaries way easier. If something’s both fantasy and sci fi? Give it both tags. A book on the real science implications of some fantasy magic system, using actual quantum physics models? No problem. Give it fiction and non-fiction, and science and fantasy.

Then you can filter by tags to get all the books that fit what you want.

I’m always skeptical of anything LLM, but this looks like an interesting use case on the surface.

DNS names are restricted to your tailnet’s domain name (node-name.tailnet-name.ts.net)

I guess that’s fine for some. Not a compromise I’m willing to make though.
