to shut down its servers, so now it’s dumb as a rock and next to useless.

I hate this so much. There’s no reason a robot vacuum should require internet access to function. Companies only do it for tighter control of their products, to track your usage, to have the ability to paywall features, and to have the ability to disable it so you have to buy a new one.

Unraid is pretty beginner-friendly, so it’s what I’d recommend too.

I use it too. I have over 20 years experience running Debian servers and can write a docker-compose.yml file and Nginx config from scratch, but sometimes it’s nice to have a decent web UI that mostly “just works”.

Can still be messed with by the Isp

Not as easily though. It’s like regular HTTPS - if anyone, including the ISP, tries a MitM (man in the middle) attack, you’ll get a security error because the certificate won’t be trusted. The only real way for a MitM attack to be successful is installing a custom root certificate on the client system.

Like you mentioned, IP blocking is harder to bypass, but that’s unrelated to DNS blocking. IP blocking is harder to do if the site uses a CDN like CloudFront, BunnyCDN, Cloudflare, etc though, since a large number of sites use the same IPs.

If you set it to update your compose automatically it will notify you and create a log, it something goes wrong you can easily revert it from the dashboard. Did I get your question right? Let me know if you meant something else.

What I meant was does it handle multiple docker-compose files? I have a bunch of them - one for Immich, one for Lemmy, etc.

I still don’t understand the three month discounts lol. Seems like a bunch of insurance plans have it. With my insurance, you can either get one month, or three months’ worth for the exact same price as one month, so I’m not sure why anyone would ever get refills monthly.

I’m very thankful that my employers covers almost all the cost of my (and my wife’s) insurance. My wife is self-employed so it’d be pretty expensive if she needed to get her own health insurance.

Wow, nice! Keep it up.

Ah that sucks. I didn’t know that. My wife uses Zepbound and thankfully our insurance covers it so it’s only $10/month. We’re Aussies living in the USA, and GLP-1 meds aren’t covered by Australia’s public health care system yet, so right now it’s actually cheaper in the USA than in Australia.

In Australia, medications covered by the public health care system (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) are a maximum of $25 for most people, and $7.70 for low-income families. It currently covers 930 different medications, and 7/10 people in Australia use at least one covered medication. However, uncovered medications cost the full retail price, which is still almost always cheaper than the USA.

Google already remove results in certain countries based on local laws, and as a response to DMCA complaints.

Best solution is not using dns in the first place though.

Use DNS over HTTPS (or TLS or QUIC). I think some browsers use it by default now. If there’s country-specific blocks, use your own recursive DNS server, or one in another country.

I want to give myself glp1 drugs, but i didn’t want to pay $1000 for a dose, so i want to buy it overseas. Illegal.

I’m not sure of the efficacy of the pills vs the injections, but in the USA you can get Wegovy pills for $149/month now, which AFAIK is roughly the same price as other countries.

Copying my comment from the homelab community:

I haven’t tried it yet, but here’s some initial thoughts:

Does it support multiple separate docker-compose.yml files? It would be useful if it could pull the list of containers directly from Docker rather than having to paste the docker-compose.

Does it pull changelogs so that the user can tell if a change is a breaking change that’ll require extra work?

It would be useful to support Webauthn/FIDO2 2FA instead of just TOTP. TOTP is being slowly phased out due to its weaknesses (it’s phishable). Similarly, it’d be useful to support single sign on using OIDC (OpenID Connect) as a lot of self-hosters use Authentik, Authelia, or Keycloak to have one login for all their self hosted services.

Automatic updates for bug fixes (e.g. 1.0.0 to 1.0.1) are usually fine - it’s major and minor updates that are scarier. I’ve never used Watchtower so I’m not sure if it has an option to only allow bugfixes.

please sir may I have a few more pixels?

In suburban areas of the US and Canada, mixed use buildings are generally not allowed.

Mixed use meaning retail space one the ground level with apartments/ condos above.

Really? I’ve seen plenty of “luxury” apartment buildings with an overpriced fancy grocery store on the bottom floor.

Where is the website template from? I’ve seen the exact same one before.

You can run your own AI locally if you have powerful enough equipment, so that you’re not dependent on paying a monthly fee to a provider. Smaller quantized models work fine on consumer-grade GPUs with 16GB RAM.

The major issue with AI providers like Anthropic and OpenAI at the moment is that they’re all subsidizing the price. Once they start charging what it actually costs, I think some of the hype will die off.

I definitely agree with you!

I’m using AI a little bit myself, but I’m an experienced developer and fully understand the code it’s writing (and review all of it manually). I use it for tedious things, where I could do it myself but it’d take much longer. I don’t let AI write commit messages or PR descriptions for me.

At work, I reject AI slop PRs, but it’s becoming harder since AI can submit so much more code than humans can, and there’s people that are less stringent about code quality than I am. A lot of the issues affecting open-source projects are affecting proprietary code too. Amazon recently had to slow down with AI and get senior devs to review AI-written code because it was causing stability issues.

… did you read the same article as everyone else? I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.
