@prologic@twtxt.net It looks interesting; definitely a novel approach. I just don’t think I have any use for it right now. I’ve thought about joining one those pubnixes that are around but I don’t think I’d ever do anything with an account on someone else’s server.

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess the difference is that your self-hosted services are publicly accessible so it allows such a setup. For me, everything is over Wireguard. If that link breaks and I’m not at home I can’t resolve domain names, let alone do any kind of server administration. That’s what the hidden service is for.

Early on, I was thinking about WAN IP address changes as well but it hasn’t happened in ~2.5 years with this ISP.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s no remote administration in the Mills DC? Not even through a VPN?

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

I have a Tor hidden service that lets me SSH into my server from anywhere. I never had to use it until last week. I was playing around with the port forwarding configuration on my router for Wireguard (migrating to a new server, very exciting), forgot to change it back, and found myself an hour away from home hoping to watch a show on Jellyfin. All it took to fix it was an SSH port forward through that hidden service to (very slowly) access my home router’s Web interface.

Does anyone else declare a computer dead after extensive testing, let it sit on a shelf for 2 weeks or a year, try it again, and have it work fine? It seems like that’s happened to me a lot more than it should.
