Just checking. Anyone can create an account, but uoad privileges there require an application. They have some basic requirements like upload speed, ability to leave things seeded after upload, etc.

I don’t know any details because I don’t have an account there. I just read whatever is available in the FAQ.

I guess so. Honestly, though, if you have a rare condition and don’t want people suggesting things that you can’t do, it helps to be clear in your communication.

If you go to a restaurant and tell the server “I can’t cook and I’m smell sensitive”, they’re going to say “Ok, you’ve come to the right place”. Instead, tell them “Unfortunately, if I catch a whiff of food I’ll feel sick.” Then the restaurant can see if there’s anything they can do for you.

I just think most people, if they weren’t already aware of his Mayo Clinic saga and his rare condition, wouldn’t guess “oh this guy must have that thing where smelling food makes him feel sick” based on what he wrote. Something that rare and, let’s be honest, strange, needs to be stated clearly if he really wants people to know about it.

I mentioned the fact that he paid $8+ for someone to deliver food, and his response rubbed me as overly defensive – “Some people just don’t bother reading the original list of 5 items, comprehending each one before commenting on my precious post.”

Maybe you’re making an assumption. Maybe he just doesn’t know how to cook?

“Extremely smell sensitive” just tells me you have a keen sense of smell. Sorry bro, just saying not everyone can read your mind.

You seem to think you mentioned that not being an option, but you didn’t mention anything about that.

Did you apply?

Ah, that’s too bad for Norton.

It’s this one based on a true event?

This is honestly the most confusing and complicated part of self-hosting.

I agree! It took me years to finally decide to buckle down and wrap my head around what a “reverse proxy” is. Once I figured it out things became so much more usable and fun.

Combined with DNS redirects in my LAN (to get around NAT loopback), things are very easy to use.
