Is my understanding correct? Traefik itself isn’t a traditional web server. The primary thing I host is my blog, so I would need another web server to serve that content.

Caddy operates on the principle of sensible defaults. These defaults can be optionally configured further if you desire, but from what I’ve read Caddy just shifts the defaults to good modern options when it’s ready to do so on newer releases.

But if you must override these choices or need to maintain compatibility with some other software, you can define them explicitly. Here’s how you’d forcibly enable or disable http2/3 https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options#protocols, for example.

I should look into that to see if I can restrict Vaultwarden, since I VPN into my home network anyway.

By reputation I know that Nginx proxy manager seems to work great if you’re on the “happy path” but if you need anything out of the norm it supposedly is less great to use. In my case I do have a few quirks, primarily with fcgiwrap. But I can’t say how it’d play, because I honestly never heard of NPM until yesterday when I was refreshing myself on web servers (and went with Caddy).

I thought this was going to be about what’s happening in South Africa where they are just immediately arresting and deporting what are now emaciated illegal miners with not even a second’s consideration to their well-being.

But no. It’s just a westoid complaining about the west losing control of natural resources in African countries.

It’s not absolutely shit, it’s a Thinkpad t440s with an i7 and 8gigs of RAM and a completely broken trackpad that I ordered to use as a PC when my desktop wasn’t working in 2018. Started with a bare server OS then quickly realized the value of virtualization and deployed Proxmox on it in 2019. Have been using it as a modest little server ever since. But I realize it’s now 10 years old. And it might be my server for another 5 years, or more if it can manage it.

In the host OS I tweaked some value to ensure the battery never charges over 80%. And while I don’t know exactly how much electricity it consumes on idle, I believe it’s not too much. Works great for what I want. The most significant issue is some error message that I can’t remember the text of that would pop up, I think related to the NIC. I guess Linux and the NIC in this laptop have/had some kind of mutual misunderstanding.

I replace the <default, slow, annoying to use> image viewer with qimgv, which is ergonomic and very fast.

Deny. Defend. Depose.

fuck me. lmao.

I am reminded of this old (forgive me) The Atlantic piece. It has two through-lines. One is the story of a dentist that was doing malpractice, finding issues in people’s teeth that didn’t exist so he could milk their insurance (and ruin their lives). The other is the story of why dentistry is separate from the rest of medicine.

If you have a Mac the free app Tomito in the App Store is a genuinely good pomodoro timer. There are plenty other options, even websites, but this one is my favorite so far.

His megalomania is so boundless he would sacrifice the entire planet to make money.

As for what ByteDance plans to do with a new LLM, a person familiar with the company’s ambitions said one goal has to do with the search function for TikTok.

Last week, TikTok released an update to its current search function focused on [keywords for ads], basically allowing advertisers to search in real time for words that are trending on TikTok. It allows marketers to build an ad with relevant keywords that would ostensibly help the ad show up on the screens of more users.

…

“Given the audience and the amount of use, TikTok with a search environment that is a completely biddable space with keywords and topics, that would be very interesting to a lot of people spending a ton of money with Google right now,” the person said.

A dark vision just flashed in my mind. And I am certain this is what will happen. AI-generated ads done in real time based on the latest “trending” thing. Presented to users basically as soon as the topic has the slightest amount of “trend”.

Just emitting untold amounts of CO2 to show you generated ads in near real time.

Untold bloodshed, cruelty, and inhumanity. But at least you get some wine and a nice note. Really makes it worth it!

E.T.

I am absolutely charmed by the characters, the story, the optimism, and the connection to the unknown.

Since it’s an old acer netbook with an Intel atom cpu it is highly unlikely it has any hardware decoding built in.

Wait… again???

I forgot about this but as soon as you said red-faced it came back to me. This “adult” became a tomato because he could choose to be referred to as he/him in a video game. I only ever saw toddlers and small children scream the way he did. So pathetic!
