I use one of the maintained forks of watchtower.

I use it to auto update within stable versions for things that are reputable enough to not make breaking changes, so nginx, apache, wireguard, traefik, etc. In over 10 years of running Plex I don’t think I’ve experienced a breaking update in the last 5-7 years at least, so I consider it safe enough. Any other software like Immich that I’m not sure if that’s safe, I keep it behind a vpn and update manually. But for things as big as nginx especially I feel very safe letting it auto update within a major version.

Yeah good call. I keep using an actively maintained fork because I can’t be bothered to switch to another project.

As someone who has nearly all internet facing software auto update with watchtower nightly my cortisol is so low

I’m sorry your workplace is so lame 😞 most of the IT at my last job were furries, and half of the dev team were trans or gay. I couldn’t imagine working somewhere that rejects valid software just because of its associations. That’s kinda like shooting yourself on the foot.

Idk my last workplace was full of nerds who appreciated the pedigree of anubus’ creator. We used it to protect our production sites without even changing the branding. If I were in your place I would find it very hard to resist bringing up the amount of furries in tech.

I use haproxy just for simplicity, with the https fronted in tcp mode with a tcp request inspect delay and acls using req_ssl_sni allows switching between multiple backend based on hostname, though if you only had 1 backend server then it could just be a raw tcp proxy. I have my stuff split between 2 local boxes that are both connected to the reverse proxy using wg so this works well for me.

I use a wireguard tunnel as a reverse proxy and it does ssl passthrough with sni. Termination happens on my local box and the reverse proxy host doesn’t do any certs.

I went with rsync.net, grabbed a promo at some point and have been getting 1.6TB for $10/mo. They support a wide range of protocols (sshfs, sftp, rsync, borg, synology, guides for freenas and truenas), snapshots, idle alerts, geo redundancy for a fee. Been very happy with it so far. Had to retrieve some files once and had no issue.

I couldn’t find a common compatible format for me and 15 friends :( I also got tired of getting 20 requests to download more movies and episodes every week.

I completed a 300 mile move yesterday, and my homelab was one of the least stressful parts thanks to my pre-emptive downsizing from a half rack to just a Synology + Intel nuc. I also pre-emptively switched from forwarded ports to a reverse proxy because I didn’t want to be thinking about what isp I would end up with. Even further, I linked the nas and nuc directly with Ethernet so that I wouldn’t need to rely on static IPs or router-assisted local hostnames, mdns, avahi, whatever because I wanted to be able to transplant my lab onto any network just in case of emergency - thankfully I haven’t had to test that out but it’s nice knowing my lab should work on any network where both boxes can reach the internet / my reverse proxy. I was thinking worst case if we ended up in some apartment complex with some crappy provided setup that had broken local discovery then it would be 1 less thing to worry about.

To re-state, it’s not a problem of understanding or the language, it’s a problem with overused, bland, and repetitive language and phrasing. It’s not fun to read even if you can understand it perfectly.

Just because 200 people understood your post doesn’t mean it isn’t annoying to read. And it’s a super simple thing to fix - don’t use AI to rewrite your post and just use a normal translator instead, which won’t inject bland and repetitive phrases and structures.

Yeah Google translate preserves a lot more of your communication style. AI overuses so many phrases it can get annoying reading something that was processed through it.

It feels like there’s been an increasing flood of AI slop projects, with varying degrees of monetization / donations. I think it’ll become a huge problem if we don’t have at a minimum very strict rules around AI generated slop projects. I think a mandatory tag with penalty of removal is a good bottom floor, in addition to the recent community participation activity % requirements for promoting monetized projects, which covers a good chunk of AI projects.

Then hopefully soon we can figure out as a community what to do to control the remaining volume of non-strongly-monetized AI slop projects if those are still too widespread, but having it labeled is absolutely needed transparency, and that’ll still be difficult because lots of people seem to lie about not using AI.

Honestly I like the idea of your project but the writing style of your post is very grating.
