If I could get a VPS for $2/mo for something like this, I would definitely swap off of my VPN provider. If you do a ‘build your own plan’ with Windscribe, it’s $2/month for me, and they easily saturate my symmetrical gigabit connection. Anything close to that price is usually an incredibly small amount of metered bandwidth comparatively. This month I’ve used something like 30tb worth of bandwidth without blinking an eye.

Encrypted volume? If so, that’s why.

Nobody mad. Didn’t hurl an insult at you, didn’t crawl in the mud with you and act like a child. But you couldn’t stand your own ignorance, and you had to lash out because you didn’t understand. Tried explaining it to you, and you doubled down. No reason for me to be mad at you wanting to remain ignorant.

I thought MAGA were as dumb as you could get, but here you are proving me wrong. Way to go. The bar was pretty low and you still couldn’t step over it.

You have no clue whatsoever how internet security works, do you… and also anyone who has used a VPN will tell you that this is how it works. The instant you’re behind a VPN, you’re part of a block of IP addresses which are generally reserved for datacenter usage.

There’s some exceptions to this, as some VPNs are kinda shady and route through residential IP addresses, but a lot of the time when someone is trying to get around an IP ban, region lock, etc – they’re going to use VPNs. So companies the world over block VPN IP ranges by default for that very reason.

This is why you get the captcha requirements, this is why you’re clicking pictures of busses non-stop.

Doesn’t happen to me, but I don’t browse behind a VPN. People behind VPNs get this usually because lots of bad actors also hide behind VPNs.

Pterodactyl

Pterodactyl is the most asinine shit to ever set up, ever.

Minecraft really needs a mod system like ARK: Survival Ascended. I really hate Forge/Fabric so much because of this requirement that host/server match all their version numbers, but no mechanics to be able to do it within the client.

Hell yeah, thanks for the suggestion!

Most users on Lemmy are Delusional. especially here in /c/Technology – turns out, this community isn’t for technology at all, but rather for bitching about silicon valley companies.

Just in time for Digg to be relaunched.

Mahle SCT/MCT Hybrid no-contact electric motor, the one that doesn’t need brushes or rare earth metals.

This community has done nothing but bitch about technology - there doesn’t seem to be anyone here that actually enjoys technology, so much as they like bitching about technology.

Can we get some actual tech related news please? This is just politics OF a tech company, not tech itself.

Been using Namecheap for a decade or more now. Great company, no muss, no fuss, just works. The greatest thing is that they’re boring as fuck. That’s one of the best qualities to have in a domain registrar.

Highly suggest putting Caddy on a machine, forwarding port 443 and 80 to caddy, and then letting it do your reverse-proxy stuff. Register a domain name, give it your IP address, and then tell caddy that ‘immich.yourdomain.bleh’ goes to port 78789 and plex goes to ‘media.yourdomain.bleh’ port 89898 – Caddy handles all of the TLS stuff, handshaking, you name it - so you can have secure sites with proper certs.

Then make sure those things are isolated from your home network through vlans if your router supports it.

You can get fancier with it using a tailscale and getting some datacenter IP to forward into your network

Those GPUs to run the AI? Still cheaper than wages! And I’ve met plenty of people in my life that were far dumber than a small LLM.

Supply chain attack has a definition. And it has nothing to do with DDoS.

The biggest problem that I have with docker is honestly, the fear of a supply-chain attack.

Yeah, and a great post too - because some of your points here just point out that everyone ELSE have deprecated PhysX as well. Unity and Unreal both dropped it long ago. It’s basically a moot point for 99.9% of people playing games.

Instead of using a PPU on the GPU, most people have focused on GPGPU physics calculations instead. The idea behind PhysX was a difficult one to launch in the first place. Given that most chip real-estate is going to these VPUs, I’m not surprised at all that they ditched the PPU for a more generalized version.
