Fuck man, as a father this hits hard. At first I thought how is he so chill, maybe this happens all the time. Then when the kid appears and is so distraught… shit

Purely anecdotal but I accidentally fell into this during university when studying for final exams. 3 hours sleep at night, 3 hours in early afternoon. Was great and never felt better so tried to keep it after exams but it was just impossible. Once I got back to real life, it was impossible to keep such a rigid and inflexible system. I didn’t do it long enough to see any long term effects but just found it impossible to keep anyway so naturally reverted back to 7-8 hours overnight

My manager and a team mate had to go to the US for work earlier this week. They’re both British citizens but Indian heritage so was genuinely worried for them. Work made sure their papers were in order and they had local contacts just in case. It was “no more difficult than usual” (it’s always been hard for brown people coming in with “random” security checks). There is no way I would be going though, would flat out refuse.

One made it home but funnily enough the other is stuck in Vancouver on the connection as theres some fire in Heathrow. At least he’s out of the USA!

This, the limit on how much it could be, and the ban on charging any additional fees, absolute game changers! The changing them not being able to tax deduct mortgage payments has also changed behaviour. I mean, landlords are still a huge drain on society and rents are mental but these steps help

Reminds me of the group limit attribute in nextcloud. You could try looking at the ‘Custom profile scope’ section of https://docs.goauthentik.io/integrations/services/nextcloud/ to see if it helps to work out what to do

Exactly. I’m already thinking about pulling my pension pot out of any US investments. It’s a tiny amount but maybe we can start a movement to keep pension investments in countries and systems you believe in, not whatever mix are typically used

If we rolled back a decade, Putin wasn’t around and something happened like idk, China invaded western Russia, I can imagine us helping Russia.

I should change it to “your population is mostly white so yes you can count on us”. I say this as an English born non-white person who has seen the differences in public reactions to Ukraine and other conflicts (Syria, various African ones, Gaza etc). Can’t say for certain it’s because of this reason but certainly feels like it!

That’s a very good point and can’t believe I didn’t think of that! Surely the British army would have to protect “his majesty’s realm” or some bollocks like that.

I just read that Canada hosts Britain’s largest overseas base, although it seems to be for training purposes.

From the UK and personally, 100% yes but not sure I feel the rest of the population would agree. I mean, a lot of us turned our backs on the EU and there’s a lot of cross over with US right wing nutters.

However, I would believe that when push comes to shove, we would be generally willing to defend Canada, Australia and NZ over anyone else, and then European countries at the next level. The reaction in support for Ukraine was pretty universal here and there are still lots of donations and support that is not shared with any African, Asian or Central/South American countries having similar problems.

Basically, you’re white so yes you can count on us!

From a UK or German IP address, Google maps has it as Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).

We’re being dragged into this mess so will look to report it

Oh Ok. Sorry, it just can’t across really negative rather than pointing out a potential flaw. I can see difficulties enforcing it by the workers like you mention

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Will have to reconsider my choices here!

Im curious about your argument because this would justify not putting any rules at any time. No cigarettes for under age in shops (might attack a shop keeper), no alcohol in pubs (might attack a bartender), no fines for speeding (might attack cameras or police), no parking restrictions (might attack ticket wardens), etc.

Maybe the threat of fines are not enough to change this behaviour (which I can understand in India after spending a lot of time there) so they are trying a novel approach. One thing Indian police will take more seriously is attacking a worker for applying the rules compared to risking your own life.

Why is it shitty? I am not trying to deny it, just really curious what it is about

Feels a bit like the horse has already bolted. I am very against this move and also believe everyone should delete their Facebook accounts (I did so years ago and not missed anything). However, it feels like (a) it’s already happened so people are in these bubbles where the fact checks won’t help and (b) it feels like it’s mostly shared through WhatsApp groups where there is no content moderation.

I really want to delete WhatsApp but all my family and friends use the groups, and just don’t care enough about this stuff to bother moving elsewhere. I only know one person who isn’t on it and have no groups of people not using it as their main form of communication within those groups.

After some research on here and reddit about 6 months so, I settled on Borgbase and its been pretty good. I also manually save occasionally to proton drive but you’re right to give up on that as a solution!

The hardest part was choosing the backup method and properly setting up Borg or restic on my machine properly, especially with docker and databases. I have ended up with adding db backup images to each container with an important db, saving to a specific folder. Then that and all the files are backed up by restic to an attached external drive at well as borgbase. This happens at a specific time in the morning and found a restic action to stop all docker containers first, back them up, then spin them back up. I am find the guides that I used if it’s helpful to you.

I also checked my backups a few times and found a few small problems I had to fix. I got the message from order users several times that your backups are useless unless you regularly test them.

Theres a lot of different things going on here although it sounds simple, you’re actually touching many different technologies. I started a few years ago to self host and it took me a while to get my head around these and still have issues so don’t worry too much!

Im not familiar with caddy but the ports look wrong. It would be looking for 80 and 443 presumably on the docker host (right hand side / “RHS Ports”. You could use any ports on the left hand side (“LHS Ports”).

The section “DOMAIN}:1443” might be telling caddy to be looking on port 1443 inside docker, which means the port need to be flipped around. The RHS Ports are what the service inside docker is looking to use (often these are set by the developer but they can be changed in settings, it’s easier to leave these as default and only change the LHS Ports). The LHS Ports are what you choose to expose on the actual server itself. https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-concepts/running-containers/publishing-ports/

Theres no mention of the router settings so the problem might be there. Are you forwarding the right ports through? You would need to forward ports 80 and 443 to the LHS Ports you choose for caddy. These port forwards would also need to point to your servers internal address. (Search “<your router name> port forward settings”)

What do you have on port 80 as I would recommend to change that to something else and have caddy on ports 80 and 443. I would also suggest trying nginx proxy manager which is available on docker, has a nice web interface to add reverse proxy’s, and can handle your SSL certificates (inc automatic renewals). This would replace caddy and would use ports 80 and 443 on your server. https://nginxproxymanager.com/

Also, just to mention, your safest option is not to expose vaultwarden to the internet unless your very sure you need to and add other protections (firewalls, fail2ban etc). If it’s just you/a few people, look into using a VPN like tailscale (easiest but relies on external party) or Wireguard (fully yours to control but pretty complicated).

You would still need an SSL cert but your can do this through DuckDNS using https://github.com/maksimstojkovic/docker-letsencrypt. You could also buy a cheap domain and never have to expose anything, as they would give you a certificate to download (cloudflare or porkbun are good - https://kb.porkbun.com/article/71-how-your-free-ssl-certificates-work) and you manually upload it to caddy or nginx proxy manager. the best option is to use nginx proxy manager or certbot to handle these as the certificates expire. You can set up “DNS challenge” in your SSL certificate manager which needs details from your DNS to obtain the SSL certificates on your behalf.

If I was you, I would search for online guides and setup in this order: nginx proxy manager, SSL cert (buying your own cheap domain from cloudflare and setting up DNS challenge in nginx proxy manager), tailscale, then vaultwarden.

As someone who used to cycle, walk or ride a bus across these bridges, please don’t blow them up. In fact, I think all the central London bridges have bus lanes, plenty of walking space and some have cycle lanes. Theres one bridge for people only. I know im taking this too seriously but it’s a very scary thought

Does it include cleaners? Most offices seem to hire external companies so don’t hire cleaners themselves, or any of the “menial” jobs required to have a functioning office. Might hide much worse jobs

Im using a free Mailgun account for all my self hosted services. Happy with it so far.

Proton only has SMTP on it’s business accounts, and you have to apply for one with a good reason (ie not for spam)
