I’d avoid using a domain you dont actually own. Those free DNS places can take the domain back at any time. They are also often very low reputation domains.

Doing the /service_name thing can get really messy if the web service has non-relative links. It gets very messy trying to do rewrite rules to fix that. Wouldnt recommend it.

So, you want to have two services accessible via the same URL? How do you want that to work? Can you give a list of services and the URLs you would like to access them by?

At least for mail, its actually not too hard, because SMTP/POP etc are all on different ports, so you can host your mail at mysite.com, and still have a website at the same address.

I’m guessing they can rip the other end of the lock out of the wall tbh.

But realistically, theifs aren’t that sophisticated, they aren’t going to waste time trying to find and destroy the DVR, the will grab whatever valuables they can carry and pawn and leave as fast as possible.

The cameras are really just a deterant, they will move on to an easier house instead of risking it with mine.

Home security first of all, with cameras to deter thiefs. That alone mostly solves the problem, but I’m in a relatively safe area.

My “lab” is just a switch, nuc and unifi cloud key, and while they are warm in their closet, its not super hot.

I have a Kensington lock on the security camera box, but someone could theoretically yank that out of the wall.

The rest really isnt worth breaking in to steal.

When I used to have SSH on a nonstandard port, I got login failures from bots. It really depends on the bot and how aggressive they have set it up.

Thats awesome, will keep that in mind for the next upgrade.

There is also one for daiken, but I haven’t directly tried it.

Probably could, but thats messy and out of reach for most of the general public. I’d consider myself capable, and I still haven’t done it despite wanting to.

I’d settle for appliances providing a standardised port for control/monitoring, that you can plug in your own ESP32 controller. Harder to sell to the general public.

Remote start is what I want personally. Timers get 90% of the way there, but if you want to run your machine when power is cheap, needs a bit more granularity. Also, end notification is one thing, but getting a “remaining time” status is also useful for the particularly lazy among us :)

Yeah, it runs inside the container, so that won’t have access to the external filesystem’s. And intermediate directory might work, but itll be a bit fiddly.

Maybe you could supply a script that does something like:

docker cp $FILE server_container:/tmp/workfile.jpg
docker exec -it cli_tool /tmp/workfile.jpg

Could do a reverse script as well for download?

Edit: you can also pipe the files to stdin of the command:

cat input.jpg | docker exec -it server_container cli_tool upload

docker exec - it server_container cli_tool download > output.jpg

How much CLI is required? Easiest to put it in the container and give instructions to use it via docker exec -it server_container clitool [args] .

Instructions should include mount points for the DB, so it can be persisted. Providing a docker compose file is usually the best way to do that.

Why? You have plenty of time to work things out

There was a boy who ran an underage childporn/prostitution ring, who eventually flipped an ratted everyone out. And there have been hundreds of teachers and underage boys getting caught having sex.

The legality is (region dependant) usually the same either way.

The tricky thing is finding, and attracting a high wealth person to entrap. So the real answer is “No, because you dont know any princesses”

Whats your goal? Your current network works presumably, what are you trying to achieve by upgrading? Faster network? Reliability? Expansion options?

How are you going to weather protect the books?

You could easily create QR code (or NFC tags) that linked to a post in a lemmy community.

As for posting opinions without a login, that is a little harder to pull off. Firstly, anonymous internet opinions are usually garbage, so you wouldnt want it to be truely anonymous. You’d be wading through spam in no time.

If there was a way to encode creds into the QR code, such that it autologged into an account, that would be kinda cool, and it might last a little while until the creds were leaked.

A basic (no-auth) guestbook site could be knocked up fairly easily by anyone (give me a week or so and I’ll give you something if you want, you’ll have to host it though), but getting the auth part right is nontrivial.

With some mild coding effort, there is also an API to export the data:

I think (and it was a few years ago, and I could be imagining things) that the land was originally farm land. When it was sold off and subdivided into the suburb, the owner added that clause for some reason. Maybe to piss off a local brick company 🤷.

Have shovel, sunlight not so much atm. I assumed it would need a kiln and molds?

I absolutely want to do that, but for now lack the tools/skills.

It was in the copy of the title, and our conveyancer told us before we settled. We were devastated of course, our planned business to revolutionise the brick industry was ruined.

Depends on entirely on local laws. My house has an interesting quirk written into the title where I cannot dig up clay in order to make bricks. No idea how that’s enforced, but its there.
