Yes, thank you. It looks like the backslash just escapes the character??

Privacy =!= Protection from legal action

If you use your iPhone to conduct illicit business, the police can subpoena Apple and it will hand over your data (at least in the US).

Privacy in this context means preventing other apps from selling your data to brokers (e.g., location data) or using your phone information to do other stuff (e.g., AI training).

Let’s hope they move to Paizo and join the work on pathfinder 2.5.

I agree with you. That’s why I make an effort to at least leave a comment every time I use the app.

I would switch to grex when that happens

I would suggest using Tailscale. It’s an app that runs on your local and remote computers. You log in with your google account, get a special up address that starts with 100.x.x.x. Then you use the special IP address to connect through ssh or mount a volume through samba.

Fair enough. If you want to self host, you can go with forgjo as your web ui and forgjo CI/woodpecker CI for building and deploying the site.

I don’t know of any other self-hostable way to build and push a static site. There was forestry but they discontinued it for a paid service.

You can do all of the through GitHub and GitHub actions by picking a static website generator.

The Catania example is a little unfair because the airport caught on fire like two days ago and they are down to one functioning terminal out of three.

But it’s Italy in the summer time so people will go on strike.

I think so? I don’t use it on windows so I don’t know how it works there. All other places I used it you can set it up as a daemon or as a startup app.

It will be fine. If two computers are on the same lan, they will connect directly using your local network. If they are on two different networks, they will reroute through their network.

Yes. It’s a default option for Tailscale. You just need to run the Tailscale client on the server with the exit node option, enable it in the web portal, and then tell your phone to use the exit node.

Will the RHEL SUSE form be the first server-oriented distro based in Europe?

It will probably work how it worked on the r/ site. You sticky a post on a community saying that the users should follow another one.

After enduring ten grueling sessions of relentless combat, the weary party finally emerges from the depths of the nefarious BBEG castle. Before them loom colossal stone doors, standing an intimidating twenty feet tall. The dark, foreboding surface of the doors is adorned with intricate battle scenes, meticulously carved in shadowy relief. Glimmers of silver, gold, and bronze embellishments punctuate the engravings, accentuating the chilling artistry.

Summoning the last vestiges of their strength, the party’s valiant fighter exerts every ounce of effort to pry open the massive doors. A hushed anticipation fills the air as the doors creak and groan under the strain, slowly revealing what lies beyond. What awaits them is a sight to behold—an expansive throne room stretching into the depths. Illuminated by a single beam of ethereal light, a throne stands regally at a distance of nearly three hundred feet.

With cautious steps, the party stealthily advances toward the throne, their hearts pounding in their chests. However, their hopes are shattered as they discover that the throne they sought was but an illusory mirage, a deceptive projection. Disguised beneath it, obscured from view, rests the true throne, no taller than three inches. Seated upon this diminutive throne, an audacious mouse dons a complete suit of battle armor. Gazing upon the approaching party, a sinister smirk curls upon its rodent features, filled with contemptuous delight.

Tension permeates the air as fate hangs by a thread. The party readies themselves for the ultimate showdown, an all-or-nothing clash.

Roll for initiative.

The wizard, whose magical energies have been depleted long ago, glimmers with a glint of determination in their eyes. Channeling their last remaining reservoirs of power, they cast their final spell—a desperate fire bolt launched into the abyss.

In an instant, the malevolent mouse lord is engulfed in a torrent of scorching flames, its malicious laughter replaced by agonized shrieks that echo through the chamber. The flames consume it, reducing the once formidable enemy to naught but ashes, scattering upon the cold, stone floor.

And so, the battle concludes, leaving the victorious party standing amidst the remnants of their adversary. The echoes of their triumph reverberate through the hallowed halls, forever etching their names into the annals of legend.

The end.

At least for mastodon, you should be able to subscribe to a relay server to push posts to your instance. I’m not sure if there are open ones. Last time I checked, I couldn’t find one still working (ping me if you find one).

A relay server will push all the messages it knows about to your server so your federated timeline will be less empty.

The organic way to do it is to follow as many accounts as you can and wait for their boosts to come through your instance. The only problem with it is that you usually get the parent posts a a few replies and you will miss 90% of the conversation.

You probably need something like Fabio or Nginx to serve as a load balancer in front of the two instances you want to proxy.

You are probably going to be ok unless someone really wants to hack you. The LastPass hack that exposed passwords of millions of people started from an open port in the home network of one of their engineers.

If you want to be somewhat safer, you could try something like the cloudflare tunnel thing to proxy your home network through their server.

It would be interesting to have a way to “link” to magazines/communities across servers so everything gets cross posted. That way the content should be less fragmented.

I use porkbun.

The prices are similar to google domains and the dns management interface is ok.
