That’s a great point about the IRS. Where I’m from we also make a lot of derogatory jokes about our equivalent of the IRS, but it really is a cornerstone of any civilized country. No one likes getting taxed, but everyone complains about how nothing’s getting fixed, and how the government should fund this and that. Without taxes we might as well pack it in, so it makes sense that the ‘local tax collection agency’ should be one of the better funded ones.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is thanks for changing my mind

This implies that trolls will someday go extinct, as the only way to create new trolls is for two existing ones to have children.

I started out with a laptop and it worked fine, but I always wondered, wouldn’t the energy consumption be much higher? Even with the screen off, a laptop isn’t made to run 24/7, right?

Aw man, I was just about to ask how that works because it sounds super convenient and I’d never heard of it.

Lol you people are so edgy, don’t worry you’re very cool with your stories of rejecting menus and being a dick to waiters who have no say in the matter.

No wonder COVID had no trouble spreading if everyone is so insistent on holding soggy stained menus in their hands. I love digital menus, don’t need to touch anything, there’s enough for everyone, why the need to always be a contrarian?

Now go ahead and downvote me, my body account is ready

Well, it’s also interesting for non native speakers who never thought about it, or just didn’t make the connection. I always assumed that was the reason for the term, but it’s nice to have confirmation.

Why? What’s so special about aviation that it benefits from imperial units?

I pity the five year old who has to read this.

I’m a grown up though so thank you for the explanation.

Always wondered why anyone would rather talk to a person than take their time, have a nice overview of the menu, and pay in advance. I guess they are gross though.

Nah, I’d love to be able to ask an assistant to make sense of the dog shit layout in word, instead of having to blindly click at menus for 10 minutes, then finally give up and Google for 10 more minutes, all because Microsoft thought it would be cool and intuitive to split menus into “view”, “review”, “layout” and “design”, because those words don’t basically all mean the same thing.

Roll for anal circumference

What did I read ?

Thanks for the clarification. So I can surmise that length is everything then? Given that I use a password manager I’ll just stick to my long gibberish passwords in that case, but it’s good to keep passphrases in mind for use cases where I can’t copy/paste easily.

Is that safe though? After seeing that XKCD I also thought it would be a good idea but then read that using passphrases is even worse because brute force attacks often use dictionaries as well to test word combinations, so one should use scrambled characters, just long enough to resist brute force.

Yeah my negative review of the Reddit app got removed for not being “truthful” when I (imo fairly) reviewed it as the dumpster fire it is.

Does it really matter though? “Well you see, they didn’t actually see you naked, it was just a photorealistic approximation of what you would look like naked”.

At that point I feel like the lines get very blurry, it’s still going to be embarrassing as hell, and them not being “real” nudes is not a big comfort when having to confront the fact that there are people masturbating to your “fake” nudes without your consent.

I think in a few years this won’t really be a problem because by then these things will be so widespread that no one will care, but right now the people being specifically targeted by this must not be feeling great.

Thanks for the answers. I guess that was not clear from my post, but I do not want to expose anything to the internet. All I want to do is tidy up the urls to the services for clarity. I have no issue with installing Tailscale on every device I want to access my services with. I can currently access any service just fine by doing “tailscaleIP:PortOfService”, but that is kind of unpractical. So by using my domain and Cloudflare DNS I changed it to “mydomain.com:PortOfService” which is already better, but means I have to look up what port the service I need uses. Like I said in my post I’d ideally like “nameOfService.mydomain.com”, no ports. And yes I realize this is purely for convenience/aesthetic reasons. Apologies if my words are not clear enough.

If you own a Samsung phone, I’d also recommend their Secure Folder, which is apparently pretty damn secure and isolated from the rest of the device.

Interesting, I am actually not using a reverse proxy, just Tailscale (or does that count as a reverse proxy?), I had previously been using nginx proxy manager but ditched that because it became too much of a hassle (and everyone says it’s not secure enough)

I meant streaming shows with Jellyfin works fine, so I don’t see why streaming music shouldn’t work at least as well. I don’t like using streaming clients such as Plex or Jellyfin for music, they just feel quite unpolished.
