Sometimes the opposite. My work password at this point is muscle memory. So if I type slowly and think about it I mess up. One morning after a bad night of sleep I actually couldn’t even recite my password of 10 years.

Two reasons. If you can’t find it you might find and buy something else. The same reason all the seasonal (Christmas, school supplies, Halloween ) stuff is in the back of the store. Also we did this with Target all the time. Called it resetting an aisle. Moving everything ensures that anything that was hidden behind something or misplaced is put back in its right place (zoning). It’s basically a super zone. A reset aisle looks very neat.

And he’s had so many failures and it’s only been a week.

What failures? Being…old?

Commanders have no defense. They beat the lions who also have no defense.

I guess it depends on how easy you can be discovered. It’s easy to take off your clothes and get people to pay you to do it, but if you’re in a sea of 1000s of women doing the same thing are you seen?

Same thing with being a YouTuber. Anyone can create a channel. It’s hard to make that channel worth something.

Is it sad that I actually can’t tell if this is real or not?

That’s why I’ve been using Emby. Works just fine for free.

What else would they scrape your data for? Sure some could be for personal use but most of the time it will be to redistribute in a new medium. Like a recipe app importing recipes.

I only use it for reverse proxies. I still find Apache easier for web serving, but terrible for setting up reverse proxies. So I use the advantages of each one.

I updated my comment above with some more details now that I’m not on lunch.

Reverse proxy is actually super easy with nginx. I have an nginx server at the front of my server doing the reverse proxy and an Apache server hosting some of those applications being proxied.

Basically 3 main steps:

• Setup up the DNS with your hoster for each subdomain.

• Setup your router to port forward for each port.

• Setup nginx to do the proxy from each subdomain to each port.

DreamHost let’s me manage all the records I want. I point them to the same IP as my server:

This is my config file:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name photos.my_website_domain.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2342;
        include proxy_params;
    }
 }

 server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name media.my_website_domain.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8096;
        include proxy_params;
    }
}

And then I have dockers running on those ports.

root@website:~$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED       STATUS       PORTS                                                      NAMES
e18157d11eda   photoprism/photoprism:latest   "/scripts/entrypoint…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   0.0.0.0:2342->2342/tcp, :::2342->2342/tcp, 2442-2443/tcp   photoprism-photoprism-1
b44e8a6fbc01   mariadb:11                     "docker-entrypoint.s…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   3306/tcp                                                   photoprism-mariadb-1

So if you go to photos.my_website_domain.net that will navigate the user to my_website_domain.net first. My nginx server will kick in and see you want the ‘photos’ path, and reroute you to basically http://my_website_domain.net:2342. My PhotoPrism server. So you could do http://my_website_domain.net:2342 or http://photos.my_website_domain.net. Either one works. The reverse proxy does the shortcut.

Hope that helps!

Off-site backups that are still local is brilliant.

Ah good catch

That’s like saying “we can cover this switch on the wall that will blow up your house so you can’t flip it.” I would feel better if the switch wasn’t even there. And now I’m wondering what other switches exist in my house that I don’t know about. The trust has already been shattered and I’ll never feel safe.

Adobe also recently snuck into their ToS that they could use whatever you made with their products for training AI and then gaslit everyone saying “we never said that” and changed their ToS. You know where you can’t access my stuff? Offline.

They almost snuck this dystopian nightmare into it. So yes, don’t trust any future windows upgrades from here on out. Who knows what they still have in it that we didn’t find out with this amount of backlash:

I wouldn’t say it would never happen. I at least think it might happen and I like to prepare for confrontation.

Unless it’s to Windows 11. Then stubbornly decline every week that it harasses you until the end of time.

Oh shit. Does that stand for file system?
