Why do so many people use NGINX?
  • Thank you for your reply!

    Personally I am fine with nginx configuration, at least when using containers. The syntax is fine and all I need to do is map one file into the container

    But I took a look at the automatic cert feature and wow, that is very, very nice. I may give caddy a try for this feature only - it would simplify my current setup.

    I am also surprised it allows using HTTPS over port 443 for cert renewal. I didnt even know this was possible, so I was always stuck with DNS challanges.

    So again, thanks for your reply!

  • Why do so many people use NGINX?
  • Honest question: why not use nginx?

    I have run it in so many different scenarios, both professionally and personally, its crazy. Nginx has never failed me, literally. My homeserver is quite limited but nginx has a very small footprint, it performs beautifully well and it satisfies all my hosting, proxying, redirecting and streaming needs.

    It works for modern and legacy applications, custom code, webhosting, supports all the modern features and its configuration is very easy with literal thousandsof examples available online.

    Apache probably can do all that but I hate how unintuitive its configuration is to me personally. HAproxy cant do half the stuff nginx does.

    As for caddy Ive heard of it but never really used it. What does it offer that nginx doesnt?

  • Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future
  • I am with you on that one. I was speaking from the point of view of someone who didnt buy ow1 because I only got into the game after ow2 so I completely forgot it wasnt free before. Its sad how nowadays you cannot ever have "complete" games. Most games just few unpolished and unfinished and they just throw things at it trying to make money. Which for me is so ironic because I think ow has a solid gameplay mechanic - it just gets completely shadowed by all the financial decisions.

  • Silverbullet.md support Logseq like daily journal view?
  • Not familiar with obsidian nor logsec, but silverbullet is a programmable notebook. Everything is indexed and can be used, acessed and manipulated using javascript.

    You can then write queries to fetch the data and then use templates to display it.

    I have a very simple query that displays all my pending tasks for each project I am working on.

    I also have created a template for displaying ttrpg character sheets, and the data is polulated by a yaml object which contains the actual character data. Custom javascript code automatically calculates stats, skills, checks and carry weight for me.

    So basically I believe that you can do what you're looking for on silverbullet but maybe not out of the box.

  • Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future
  • I only got into the game after 2 was launched so I only really played the 5x5 mode, but I always thought the 6x6 mode could be fun. Unfortunatelly I am not playing anymore. The core concept of the game is fun, but the matches felt just too unbalanced for me to enjoy. And although I think this change would be fun I don' think it will fix the balance problem on matchmaking.

  • Forgot to pay my domain for a year and now I have to spend £2200 ($3000) if I want to get it back
  • I am sorry that happened to you

    Thanks for sharing your story, though. I have a few domains, two of them being very important for me (one I use for all my emails, and the other one for all my self hosted stuff). So I'll be paying close attention to their renewal

    I hope you can find another domain that you like and that you can transfer your stuff to it.

  • Anyone else like charting out how one can separate the words in a sentence by sound?
  • I didn't know about crisis either, thanks for the source!

    What I meant is the Portuguese cacófato

    One quintessential example of this is found in one famous Camoes sonnet: "Alma minha gentil que te partiste"

    "Alma minha" (kind soul) sounds like "ao maminha" (to the little nipple".

    Other example is: " acabou-se tudo" (all is over) Sounds like "bucetudo" (extremely vulgar way to say a person has a large vagina)

  • Anyone else like charting out how one can separate the words in a sentence by sound?
  • Wow, that's fascinating. To be honest I had never really thought about this before, be ir conlangs or otherwise.

    But it does remind me of an interesting phenomenon that happens in some languages were the end of one word joins the beginning of the second one, giving rise to a third word.

  • Recommended containerized CardDAV/CalDAV solution?
  • I am currently running baikal using podman, quadlets, rootless mode. What kind of issue did you have?

    That said, although baikal does get the job done, I am actually considering migrating to nextcloud just because of caldav/carddav, since it seems to be the most complete implementation out there.

    It is worth taking a look at the features you need before fully migrating. As far as I can tell baikal may have some issues for some people with invitations, sharing calendars and sending email.

    I've seen people recommend radicale, which probably works well, but from what I read is the least adherent to caldav/carddav protocols.

  • is forwardemail a scam?

    So I have recently found out about forward email just a few months ago.

    I am currently using tuta as my email provider, and I have been doing so for the last three years. But I am not very happy with the closed ecosystem and locking of basic features behind paywalls.

    So I decided to give forwardemail a go after reading about it on free software foundation's webmail systems (this is a web archive link, more on that later)

    Now the thing is, the service works. But things don't really feel legit. They claim to have thousands of users but there's surprisingly little information about them other than their own website. The branding seems completely generic and pretty much all of their code seems to be coming from one single account with no real information.

    There's a couple reviews about them on trust pilot but the positive ones mostly come from accounts where the only review is for forwardmail.net

    I've read some discussion about them getting recommended on privacy guides, they sounded very professional and mentioned even wanting to get auditioned, but to the best of my knowledge that has not happened yet (please correct me if I am wrong). Worse than that they seemed to stop replying to the thread a couple months ago.

    Finally, I realized today that FSF has removed their recommendation for forwardemail from their website

    In conclusion, I have tested and the service does work, but I can't tell if there is something shady happening. What do you all think?
