Not just China

What you expect from a guy who bankrupted four casinos?

As an Eastern European I strongly disagree. We were occupied by Russia for decades, and once we gained independence, we dreamed about joining NATO and EU back then. NATO was the only thing that, at the time, we believed would make our independence last more than a few years, and the EU was in our eyes a path to an economic development of our crippled and looted economies. Soviet Union didn’t fall because of a booming economy, quite the opposite. We saw how people live in the western countries by our relatives who managed to escape, and were dreaming of our countries becoming at least partially as good as the Western Europe. USA didn’t have to do much to convince us, Soviets convinced us more than enough that we want out

Good catch!

Are the ports on your home firewall open? You need to use the public IP of your home router, open the required ports on the router (you can limit them to accept the incoming request from your VPS IP), and map them to a specific local device IP address and port on your router

I am not sure what the problem here is but just want to make sure you realize that if you were to do that, all the requests won’t be directly going to your home server, but they will be routed via your VPS. So the performance will be hit by quite a bit, depending on the ping to the VPS and the VPS upload and download speeds. It’s a very privacy focused approach and you probably don’t need that.

The only benefits you get are that if you browse the web and someone gets your IP, you won’t be able to be matched with your domain’s IP, and that the feds won’t be able to match your public services with your home network (and you in the result).

Otherwise you shall be good just making sure that the ports you expose on your router are the Nginx ones, and won’t experience increased latency on all your requests this way.

Oh, thanks. That’s very uplifting!

Is it still free and open-source? Didn’t they change the license to “free unlimited trial” a while ago?

This is supposedly a direct quote of their so-called “Ukrainian source”, not an invention of the news agency

Hey, you always seem to post the summaries on your posts. What tools do you use to generate them? Clarifying this may be helpful to indicate a potential bias (like Gulf of America with Grok/ChatGPT or Deepseek not being aware of Tiannmen)

It’s like Obsidian but open source. A free note taking app with power features
