Anyone want to take bets on how long until right wing influencers start talking about how Red No 3 cures COVID/cancer/brainworms and how the government is trying to take it away because of how good it is, while posting a video of themselves chugging gallons of it on TikTok to own the libs?

Anything to avoid calling it a tax because Republicans could never introduce a tax! This is EXTERNAL revenue from TARIFFS. 😉

Traefik basically has certbot built in so when you configure a new hostname on a service it automatically handles requesting and refreshing the cert for you. It can either request individual certificates for each hostname or a wildcard certificate (*.yourdomain.com) that covers all subdomains.

The neat trick is that in Docker you configure Traefik by adding Docker tags to the other containers you want to proxy. When you start up a container, Traefik automatically reads the config from the tags, does any necessary setup, then viola it’s ready to go!

Basically the Cloudflare tunnel client connects from the computer running your services (or proxy) out to Cloudflare’s edge servers and your DNS hostname is set to the IP of one of Cloudflare’s edge servers. Cloudflare acts like a reverse proxy by sending incoming SSL requests for your hostname to your tunnel client through their own network. The DNS record doesn’t expose your public IP and the Cloudflare tunnel client easily works behind firewalls, NAT, and doesn’t need a static IP because it connects outbound to Cloudflare’s network.

The biggest limitation is that this only works for SSL traffic because it can be routed by hostname in the SNI without needing a client on the client side. They do offer tunnels for other connections, but that requires their client running on both sides so it’s more like a traditional VPN again.

I’d add that Traefik works even better with Docker because you tag your other containers that have web ports and Traefik picks that up from Docker and terminates the SSL connection for them. You don’t even have to worry about setting up SSL on every individual service, Traefik will take care of that even for services that don’t implement SSL.

It is possible to get wildcard certificates from LetsEnrcypt which doesn’t give anyone information on which subdomains are valid as your reverse proxy would handle that. Still arguably security through obscurity, but it does make it substantially harder for anyone who can’t intercept traffic between the client and server.

The biggest reason to use VPN is that some ISPs may take issue with you running a web server over a residential service when they see incoming HTTP requests to your IP. If you don’t want to require VPN, then Cloudflare tunnels are perfect for this and they also solve the need for dynamic DNS if you want to use static domain because your domain points to the Cloudflare edge servers and they route it to you wherever your tunnel endpoint is running.

Past that, Traefik is a great reverse proxy that can manage getting LetsEnrcypt SSL certificates for you even with wildcard domains and would still work fine with dynamic DNS.

“The money hungry…” CORPORATIONS? “… government in Ottawa…”

I can’t understand how anyone thinks this man has any idea what he’s talking about.

Replace it with a picture of Elon and include his attempts to influence the UK and German elections right after influencing the US election…

Anyone capable and willing to fight fires in the Los Angeles area should be working with the proper authorities to maximize their efforts. This guy is asking for people to not do that and to benefit him instead.

There are thousands of other people in LA who don’t have “any amount of money” to pay to save their burning homes. I have sympathy for all of them and I’m sure they would all wish the same, but someone thinking they deserve better than everyone else just because they have wealth is immoral just on the face of it, no matter how “good” of a person they are otherwise.

In fact, I would argue the poorer people’s homes should be a priority because they would have a higher portion of their net worth tied up in their home and losing it could ruin them financially. By his own admission, this guy has “any amount of money” to rebuild his home too.

These wildfires brought to you by the unregulated corporate greed of companies like McDonald’s! I’m (not) lovin’ it!

They want control of governments so they can wield total authority over the working class and exploit them even harder than they already do. Amazon will make showing up to work late a felony punishable with jail time. Oh and the jail is actually an Amazon fulfillment centre.

Oh yeah for sure, I’ve run Llama 3.2 on my RTX 4080 and it struggles but it’s not obnoxiously slow. I think they are betting more software will ship with integrated LLMs that run locally on users PCs instead of relying on cloud compute.

Data centres want the even beefier cards anyhow, but I think nVidia envisions everyone running local LLMs on their PCs because it will be integrated into software instead of relying on cloud compute. My RTX 4080 can struggle through Llama 3.2.

Something similar happened to my brother when he realized our parents’ wedding anniversary wasn’t too long after his birthday and they were married the same number of years as his age… 😬

AI makes the perfect scapegoat though! You can “fire” an AI model and “hire” a new one almost instantly.

“Oh that quarterly loss was due to bad call made by ChatGPT, but don’t worry we switched to Claude now!”

They aren’t making graphics cards anymore, they’re making AI processors that happen to do graphics using AI.

It’s the same reason that Russia used for invading Ukraine and China is using for it’s threats of invading Taiwan…

We really need to stop laughing at this.
