Immich. Kinda like Google photos but on your own system.

There’s this word that got removed from the title to make this movie adaptation…

Duck email offers kinda the same idea of anonymous emails for free. If you use their extension you can generate one-off subsidiary random accounts to be deleted later after use. You can do this on the spot, a single click while filling whatever registration form, really convenient.

Question…I started working on this. How would you go about opening an SSH or RDP port (on some random port such as 12345) on a local machine, in a way that I can reach it via the tailscale IP?

FitoTrack and Opentracks are apps for recording your workouts with tracking of location, heart rate and other monitoring. All FOSS and all offline. Compatible to interact with Gadgetbridge which I’m also recommending.

…what support? They barely reply any queries people post in their google groups. If you go there you’ll see most people will try to reach them either due to servers down (the main issue at hand) or login issues which never get fixed (the longest standing issue, better create a different new subdomain) from what I’ve seen. I’ve also tried repeatedly to reach them regarding changing the token access, but with no luck. It’s a free service so I can’t complain, but the only support you actually will get is from other users, and for some scenarios that’s not quite enough.

EDIT: Oh wow right after posting this I just saw they actually replied regarding the SSO/tokens issue most people have (SSO failed due to the reddit snafu, you end up with just the token and no chance to do any further changes to your account again). This has been an ongoing issue for over two years, I just saw they finally replied (I think for the first time) a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. I’m seriously considering also a paid domain, so it’s good to hear from your experience. I might go try some other free provider first though.

Does it matter?

No, it does not change, but why is this something of concern? The problem is duckdns DOES NOT REPLY providing DNS replies, not to my own servers, but to people outside looking for my servers by typing their address. Duck fails to provide a response to those queries, and users get timeouts. I can frequently replicate this with either dig or nslookup, from different machines, either inside my network or at random connections.

I managed today to run certbot to register 2 new subdomains that yesterday consistently failed with a long timeout during THE WHOLE DAY. Today the same certbot command on the same server ran straight at the first attempt.

So…yeah. Unreliable.

Great…thanks. I’m going to look them up.

Glad it works for you guys. Here it fails to respond at least once a week or so, and it can last one hour or more sometimes. It’s unpredictable. And makes the server look buggy.

A sample for measure…there’s a lot of these on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1cyru6p/duckdns_dns_servers_down/

It will fail to resolve randomly, and then your services goes down. And you expend quite a while figuring out whatever might have failed until the typical “when in doubt, it’s DNS” pops up. This also applies when you’re trying to add/renew subdomains.

Just a sample…

It seems to frequently stop responding.

The end result is the same though. First phone unlock is the one a bad actor can’t get through.

GrapheneOS is the easiest ROM install bar none. Get the en browser (needs to be chrome-based) to the install url, hook the phone cable, and let it run. It’s super straightforward. It’s not rooting though, you don’t get root access by default.

GrapheneOS also has this. Not sure stock android includes it.

Is it any good?

You only need to see how young Tom Scott looks in the video to know this is indeed very old news. They seem to have necroposted this thing from 10 years ago and posted it now without any reference about when the events happened, to make it seem relevant/recent.

Extremely unlikely due to Kamal’s actor rapey attitudes forcing his own on-screen death (and firing). I’m not complaining with the attempt at closing the main plots where they did, given the cards they were given. I’m happy they tried to give it a decent ending and closure.

I didn’t find the final books so amazing compared to the rest of the series.

I think this is the compound mentioned: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Pater_Noster

I love this Adam Something classic where they keep optimizing the tech bro idea until it turns into Thomas the Engine
