I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•In what way am I the product when using CloudFlare's free tier?English
3·5 days agoI have never used it, so take this with a grain of salt, but last I read, with the free tier, you could not secure traffic between yourself and Cloudflare with your own certs which implies they can decrypt and read that traffic. What, if anything, they do with that capability I do not know. I just do not trust my hosted assets to be secured with certs/keys I do not control.
There are other things CF can do (bot detection, DDoS protection, etc), but if you just want to avoid exposing your home IP, a cheap VPS running Nginx can work the same way as a CF tunnel. Setup Wireguard on the VPS and have your backend servers in Nginx connect to your home assets via that. If the VPS is the “server” side of the WG tunnel, you don’t have to open any local ports in your router at all. I’ve been doing that, originally with OpenVPN, since before CF tunnels were ever offered as a service.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: The pulled *60 Minutes* CECOT segment aired in Canada and is available onlineEnglish
1·5 days agoI did see that one posted somewhere, but I’m always wary of any
.newsdomain because literally anyone can run a blog and buy a cheap.newsdomain to point to it.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Internet-Connected Consoles Are Retro Now, And That Means ProblemsEnglish
12·6 days agoI didn’t even remotely get the assumption it was implying cartridge-based consoles connected to the internet. The next sentence is even “That beautiful feature fell away when consoles joined the Internet”

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that on April 18, 1930, the BBC reported, "There is no news." and then played piano music for the rest of the broadcast time.English
11·6 days agoYou joke, but there are news “articles” that are just a bunch of quotes of what people are saying about a topic on Reddit or Twitter that read very similarly to what you commented.
Notice what you don’t see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it’s 6 tires. Total pavement princess.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When you're cooking and it does its thing. English
1·6 days agoLiterally that.
Growing up, I always loved going to Grandma’s house because it always smelled so good because she was always cooking something. Later in life, I realized it was just a faint onion smell because she put them in everything.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Changed one letter in the subtitles and made it relevant IRL. Also dropping a new meme template. English

I’m also proud for pausing it at just the right spot so she looks like the lady from the Math Lady meme:

On these, yes, but the batteries are not integrated like in modern laptops.

716·7 days agoIt only takes one to ruin your day. You can filter out all the dedicated political meme communities (time well spent, IMO) but you can’t filter out the ones here because no one tags anything, no one puts any alt text, and the titles are just generic snark.
