But I’ve never played smash. What does that mean? Oh! Oh.

I have auto redirect to 443. But --nginx works fine. I think it overrides stuff for whatever the specific url used is.

There’s a certbot addon which uses nginx directly to renew the certificate (so you don’t need to stop the web server to renew). If you install the addon you just use the same certbot commands but with --nginx instead and it will perform the actions without interfering with web server operation.

You just then make sure the cron job to renew also includes --nginx and you’re done.

It makes sense that they issue short certificates, though. The sole verification is that you own the domain. If you sell/let the domain lapse and someone else takes it over, there’s only a limited time you would hold a valid certificate for it.

An array?

var turtles = new Turtle[] { new Turtle(), new Turtle() };

Don’t do this :P

Ah, so the kind of crypto bro, that instead of a fistbump, does a diffie-hellman key exchange instead?

That’s got to be extremely rare. Not much you can do in that case. But they will hit many problems with that approach.

When you post in a thread you get an ID for that thread. When you post in a different thread you get a different id.

That’s what I said. You don’t need any ID to federate the messages. If you reply to a comment the nesting is based on the comment/post ID and not the usernames.

You couldn’t track a users posts after the fact, and I think that’s kinda the point.

Not so sure that’s true though. If you look at a 4chan threads in some boards, you can recognize the individual anonymous’ from the ID next to them.

I suspect it’s using either a cookie, or the IP address to track a user and while not storing that info, generating an ID hash from perhaps a unique ID for the thread + their details.

No reason you couldn’t federate using the same. But, even without that, each post and comment has a post ID and replies would be tracked that way. Just, you’d need to remember which replies were your own.

The home instance could store for a thread some info about posts/comments from an IP or cookie too and highlight them. But that info wouldn’t be federated.

I actually don’t think it’d be a problem, really. But, is this something missing from our lives? I’m not so sure.

I mean, while they can block most things, to give people a usable experience they’re going to allow http and https traffic through, and they can’t really proxy https because of the TLS layer.

So for universal chance of success, running openvpn tcp over port 443 is the most likely to get past this level of bad. I guess they could block suspicious traffic in the session before TLS is established (in order to block certain domains). OpenVPN does support traversing a proxy, but it might only work if you specify it. If their network sets a proxy via DHCP, maybe you could see that and work around it.

I did have fun working around an ex gf’s university network many years ago to get a VPN running over it. They were very, very serious about blocking non-standard services. A similar “through” the proxy method was the last resort they didn’t seem to bother trying to stop.

But, I think they should not accept dual nationality. Make them burn their passports at the border!

Yeah, my point is, comparing them to constitutional amendments doesn’t make too much sense for the rest of us.

But you know, I think they do have trial by jury. Just, I think like the elections there, the jury gets told the result, before they decide it.

If they want to own guns, no problem. The government will supply them, and even provide transportation to a place they can use them. (I hope the /s is implied here).

I’m not sure if that story is onionesque or real. Now, that uncertaintly is a problem with the modern world.

Dude! They only work if they’re on tight!

Well, most countries aren’t going to have the same constitutional rights as the USA has. In the same way, the US doesn’t give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive. As such, I’m not sure if there’s too much point comparing the two.

Otherwise. Yes, it’s not going to be a nice place to live, and anyone that chooses this option has only themselves to blame when they realise they made a deal with the leopard that has a history of biting faces off.

I did think of a few ways round it (in kbin/mbin) a year or so ago. But, it wouldn’t work unless everyone using ActivityPub recognized it. It’s also really a small problem in reality. It’s likes and dislikes.

Hmm, the only issue I had was because it was using the DoH (which I don’t have a local server for). Once I disabled that, it was fine.

Oh. Internal hosts, I just setup on my own DNS… No need for that. Printer, can’t say I’ve ever had a problem.

Yeah, I don’t really have a use at home for mDNS. None that I can think of, anyway. Pretty sure I was using it before MDNS was a thing.
