It is that easy, like you said. And with Cloudflare and Caddy you can get TLS for your internal VPN hosts. I love that.

My Vaultwarden is behind a private VPN, but I’ll still update today. Thanks.

My favorite is StalinSort. You go through the list and eliminate all elements which are not in line.

I feel burnt out on professional development, but at least for me tech debt is not the issue. Everything is imperfect after a while, because requirements change all the time and overall it’s not me accruing the debt. That’s why I don’t care.

Looks like their Pro plan is 9 Euro a month, which comes to 108 a year. It’s on sale now for 5 Euro. Still 60 a year and definitely more than the 30 OP mentioned.

I’ve been doing home networking for many years now and the public Domain + Cloudflare DNS + Let’s Encrypt is the easiest it’s ever been.

There is really no reason to use self-signed anymore. I use Let’s Encrypt even for 10.0.0.0/8 addresses.

Our phones back then were actual potatoes and we wore them next to the turnip on our belt, as was the fashion back then.

I think that’s wishful thinking. The vast majority of people simply don’t give a shit. While the enshittification of Windows continues, Linux numbers will slowly go up. But I’ll be quite surprised if I see it go over some significant margin like, say, 25% during my lifetime.

I am so old that I worked with SGML. Compared to that, XML is a lovely language. And sometimes I still miss writing XSLT to quickly transform some XML documents. These days you can do similar things with JSON, of course. But it’s not as easy and standardized as the XML tooling.

I remember the time when YAML meant Yet Another Markup Language.

To paraphrase: There are two kinds of markup languages. Those that people complain about and those that nobody uses.

There is no silver bullet that will work perfectly for all use cases and we also don’t want to use 100 different tools. So people use things that aren’t perfect. But they’re good enough. I don’t think YAML is perfect and I still use it, because people know it and there are tons of tools already available.

Thanks, I’ll take a look. These days Inoreader also shows only the summary, making it useless for me.

I know that. But RSS is like 95% used for news feeds and that’s what I’m talking about. The way RSS is overwhelmingly used is making the whole thing useless (to me).

That would be nice. I have implemented this in the past but never once encountered an API that used it.

For RSS I honestly don’t see a point, at least for me. What’s the use for having update feeds in a unified format when I still have to go to each fucking site to view the full text? I completely see the point of RSS when all I need is in the feed. But I hate going from different UI to different UI to get the full content. I want something like inoreader.com for self-hosting.

How is that different than what Go, for example, does? An if err != nil after each statement is just as annoying. In the end you have to validate almost all return values and the way it happens is just syntax.

The exception is part of the method signature and thus part of the return value. I don’t see a difference between using if or try-catch to validate a method call.

It’s a domain with hosts that all resolve to private IP addresses. I don’t care if someone manages to see hosts like vaultwarden, cloud, docs or photos through enumeration if they all resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 addresses. Setting up a private resolver and private PKI is just too much of a bother.

I found options like .local and now .internal way too long for my private stuff. So I managed to get a two-letter domain from some obscure TLD and with Cloudflare as DNS I can use Caddy to get Let’s Encrypt certs for hosts that resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 IPs. Caddy has plugins for other DNS providers, if you don’t want to go with Cloudflare.
