It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.
  • Yes, but why would you want to? We have enough addresses for the foreseeable future.

  • Randomly getting Notion email, after having deleted my account years ago...
  • Note: not every provider supports this.

    Also, gmail addresses ignore periods. my.email@gmail.com and myem.ail+service@gmail.com will end up in the same inbox

  • YouTube is testing a new design that you'll probably hate instantly
  • So, how long until they delete the comment section outright?

  • Texas is replacing thousands of human exam graders with AI
  • nah, keep the new instructions

  • Dino rules
  • ¿Por qué no los dos?

  • Now Built in to Firefox | Add Text and Drawings to PDFs with Firefox PDF Editor
  • Perhaps the Arch Linux repo has a "preview" version then, because I was able to add scribbles and text anywhere for many months by now...

  • Now Built in to Firefox | Add Text and Drawings to PDFs with Firefox PDF Editor
  • Call me crazy, but hasn't this been a feature for a while now?

  • [Question] Shared folder across devices
  • I think SFTP would work plenty. On linux you can use rclone to mount it, and Android has many file managers that support it (personal favorite is Total Commander with the SFTP plugin)

    You could also certainly host a full Nextcloud instance, but it might be a bit overkill

  • Up-to-date OpenSSL guide or tool for creating a certificate authority and self-signing TLS certificates?
  • You can use a DNS challenge to show you are in control of the domain without having anything exposed to the net. Essentially LE gives you a special value you have to add as a TXT DNS entry. LE will check if this record exists for your domain, and gives you a certificate, no public IP involved. This even allows you to create wildcard certificates.

  • Email services for self hosters
  • I use sendgrid, it only requires some DNS entries for Domain Authentication. Also regarding the catch-22, if you use Cloudflare for DNS, you could use their email routing to forward incoming mails to Gmail

  • PEMDAS is technically correct, but morally wrong
  • Reverse Polish Notation works almost like you describe. You put the operands first, then the operation. For example:

    • 3 + 4 --> 3 4 +
    • 3 • (5 + 2) --> 5 2 + 3 •

    Probably the reason why we are not using it is because most tools today use algebraic notation, and it would be a lot of effort to switch

  • Could someone explain these OpenWRT LuCI firewall settings to me? I am having trouble interpereting what they are saying exactly.
  • Input means the packet stops at the router, like when you access its web ui. I don't think you want to give the internet access to your router settings :)

  • Could someone explain these OpenWRT LuCI firewall settings to me? I am having trouble interpereting what they are saying exactly.
  • yes, lan is the Local Area Network, wan is the Wide Area Network. The zone lan refers to the devices on the local side, wan to the great internet.

  • Could someone explain these OpenWRT LuCI firewall settings to me? I am having trouble interpereting what they are saying exactly.
  • Disclaimer: I am not a professional network engineer, this is just what i found out after researching some iptables terminology.

    the lan => wan is perhaps a bit misleading. lan is the zone, or which side of the router this firewall rule is in reference to. wan is another zone, the arrow shows where packets of type Forward are ending up.

    • Input means packets originating from another device within this zone with the router as the destination.
    • Output is a packet from the router to another device in the zone.
    • Forward is a packet originating from one zone with a destination in another zone.

    When forward on the wan interface is set to reject, it essentially means no device from outside may initiate a connection. However, they may respond to already opened connection.

    I don't yet know what masquerade does.

  • What is a tip, fact, or piece of information that you want to share?
  • additionally, have fire alarms and change the batteries when they are low. If you have gas heating, get yourself a good carbon monoxide detector as well!

  • Is anyone having issues with cloudflare websites?
  • For me it doesn't let me pass if i have changed my user agent
