Invisible walls. And I'm not saying the ones that are like way up out of the way that you have to nearly use glitches to get to. I'm talking the "walking down a city street and then you're stopped in the middle of the road for no reason" kind. Like, you put area there that I can see, I want to go there. If you don't want me to go there at least put something there to indicate it's the edge of the map.

I know there may be some which are better for various reasons, but look into nginx proxy manager to get those resources behind some URLs with SSL. I like it because it's got a pretty easy to use web interface, but I know similar things can be accomplished with traefik and like a 3 line per service yaml file. I use NPM and a pihole for DNS to point to the NPM server, and it's great for me, including automatic cert rotation with LetsEncrypt.

If you're looking to actually do Fail2ban, look into crowdsec first. It's a similar concept but instead of creating your own block lists by people hammering against your system until they're banned, it uses community-populated lists to pre-ban known bad actors.

I know a lot of people shit on it from a decentralization perspective, but I use Cloudflare to expose all my services. Then anyone who hits my sites has to go through Cloudflare's detections first. I have all my services behind a reverse proxy (nginx proxy manager) running locally, and that's the only though exposed to the Internet through my router, also that ONLY allows connections at all from Cloudflare IPs or my local network. My home IP is obfuscated, my services can only be accessed using the ports I define, and things are happy. I also block as much as possible on my router, and have automatic updates on all my server VMs/LXCs.

You could also set up a Cloudflare tunnel to go to the reverse proxy and avoid needing to expose anything to the direct Internet.

Just turn off caching for any media servers domains/subdomains if you go with Cloudflare, or else it will try to cache any media on their servers and it's technically a ToS violation so people get their accounts banned. It's a simple setup to disable cache though.

Hey I just built my Core One a few months ago! Mine took a bit longer than yours, but I did also have the MMU to put together. I had some issues with the MMU spool holders, but now that I've sorted that out (by using different holders), I'm printing like a dream! Have fun printing!

Disco Pogo - Die Atzen

I usually skip breakfast, but recently I've been skipping lunch and so I have a protein shake for breakfast so I'm not extra hangry by dinner time.

Not directly intended for this, but I use a self-hosted Home Assistant server for this. My wife and I both use it for home automations, and the phone app can report its location back. We can see where each other is on the map, as well as a 24 hour (configurable) location history.

To be honest I skimmed just of this, but the way my phone screen resolution caused line breaks I got to see the words "sususudododo baby" and that alone made me giggle.

I haven't really used adguard or nextdns before so I can't compare apples to apples. I can say that Rethink is a FOSS local-VPN-based adblocker that doesn't need root. I used to use a different VPN based one before that I forgot the name of, but because it was a VPN I couldn't also connect to my home Wireguard VPN at the same time, so I was swapping VPNs all the time. I like it because I can be connected to my home VPN, and then if that connection fails it automatically uses the on-device DNS blocklists, which can be customized which lists to use. It can also set different DNS rules / bypass filtering on a per-app basis instead of being forced to being system wide. It's been useful to allowlist certain domains for specific apps only to let them work.

Using RethinkDNS for on-device blocking, but also let it make a wireguard tunnel to my house so I can make use of my PiHole at home.

Thank you for making me not feel crazy for thinking that exact same thing.

I do prefer instrumental music, but for completely different reasons. Mostly for me it's because I get earworms extremely easily, and can have a song stuck in my head for days at a time. 99% of the time it's the lyrics that are stuck, so it's a much lower chance to get an instrumental song stuck in my head.
