Girl = neutral (das Mädchen)
No idea why lol.
Mädchen is a diminutive, and all diminutives are grammatically neutral.
It’s the same in Dutch btw, and my girlfriend who is learning Dutch is frequently abusing this as a cheat code: whenever she doesn’t know the gender of a word, she’ll just use the diminutive and it will automatically be neutral.
he just died too soon for everyone to see him for the villain he was
Oh he died soon enough.
I earnestly wrote a couple of lines, and then a week later they replied that they don’t have enough information to decide, at which point I just threw my hands up and decided for them. I don’t need that kind of pedantic hoop jumping in my private life.
You can use the wildcard domain
Yeah the problem was more that this machine is running on a network where I don’t really control the DNS. That is to say, there’s a shitty ISP router with DHCP and automatic dynamic DNS baked in, but no way to add additional manual entries for vhosts.
I thought about screwing with the /etc/hosts file to get around it but what I ended up doing instead is installing a pihole docker for DNS (something I had been contemplating anyway), pointing it to the router’s DNS, so every local DNS name still resolves, and then added manual entries for the vhosts.
Another issue I didn’t really want to deal with was regenerating the TLS certificate for the nginx server to make it valid for every vhost, but I just bit through that bullet.
This has nothing to do with WEI. Google can do more than one shitty thing at once you know.
Never understood why anyone would want to rent their music in the first place. As good as the service may be when you sign up for it, you know it will eventually turn to shit as they’re trying to monetize every last cent out of it, and then your only choices are to endure the shit or to quit the service and be left with nothing.
I’m not your buddy, pal, and I don’t appreciate the accusation.
Maybe you’re joking
Gee, you think?
If you really want to get anal about it, yes I know there things like CNAME, PTR and MX records too but that’s outside of the scope of this discussion.
DNS doesn’t deal with ports, there’s no way to say: homelab.example.com should point to IP address 1.2.3.4 and port 12400.
Sure, but the point is not so much about which one to use but that the terminating point listening on 443 should sit outside of his network.
So he will either need a cloud service, or accept that he will have to add :12400 to his URLs.
DNS doesn’t deal with ports, it resolves hostnames to IP addresses and that’s it.
What you probably need is some kind of reverse proxy that sits outside of your network, listens on port 443 and then directs it to your home IP address on port 12400.
As a general rule, you should always keep in mind that you’re not really looking for a backup solution but rather a restore solution. So think about what you would like to be able to restore, and how you would accomplish that.
For my own use for example, I see very little value in backing up docker containers itself. They’re supposed to be ephemeral and easily recreated with build scripts, so I don’t use docker save or anything, I just make sure that the build code is safely tucked away in a git repository, which itself is backed up of course. In fact I have a weekly job that tears down and rebuilds all my containers, so my build code is tested and my containers are always up-to-date.
The actual data is in the volumes, so it just lives on a filesystem somewhere. I make sure to have a filesystem backup of that. For data that’s in use and which may give inconsistency issues, there are several solutions:
docker stop your containers, create simple filesystem backup, docker start your containers.pg_dump, mongodump, mysqldump, … ), and then backup the resulting dump file.As for the OS itself, I guess it depends on how much configuration and tweaking you have done to it and how easy it would be to recreate the whole thing. In case of a complete disaster, I intend to just spin up a new VM, reinstall docker, restore my volumes and then build and spin up my containers. Nevertheless, I still do a full filesystem backup of / and /home as well. I don’t intend to use this to recover from a complete disaster, but it can be useful to recover specific files from accidental file deletions.
The worst is that as iconic as it is, this photo doesn’t even capture a fraction of what happened on Tiananmen Square.
