It’s also more distinct. CP has many potential definitions. CSAM only has the one I’m aware of.

Streaming like movies and TV, or like Twitch?

And free as in the legal free ones, or illegal free ones?

Your connection being fine during downtime is a new detail not in your original post that changes the dynamics. That being said I believe my other response should be helpful.

Well, it can’t hurt to cross it off. You don’t need to get a domain from a registrar that offers dynamic DNS, you just need to register a domain (or try another dynamic DNS like the other user suggested) and use a DNS provider that is free and offers an API. I personally use Cloudflare, there are plenty of guides for setting up a dynamic record on CF.

For registering a domain you can use an affordable registrar, I’m a Porkbun customer - for a .com domain it’s like $11 for a year. No need to spend monthly.

Ha, if he said duckDNS I was going to recommend something more reliable like freedns.afraid.org.

That being said, the description in his post doesn’t make it seem that way.

Let’s back up some - a free dynDNS provider would not cause connection issues, unless DNS resolution itself stopped working - which is unlikely. It sounds more like the Internet you’re running off of itself has issues. What in particular is making you blame the dynDNS? Who is it?

I’m unsure, but I’m an avid user of Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi). Basically God’s gift to Android. Would recommend giving it a look!

Even back then caddy was being talked about. I don’t use caddy because, at least back then, it was only free for non commercial use (unless you compile it yourself).

I’ve been using Traefik for even longer though and haven’t ran into any major issues. Definitely recommend it.

I switched to Docker ages ago and don’t regret it. The other benefit aside from the “works on my machine” is that usually it’s very easy to back up with minimal bloat, especially for projects that don’t document what you should be backing up.

I can, and have, switch hosts on a moments notice and only have to mess with DNS updates.

Although I’ve been procrastinating switching to rootless Docker.

The only thing I run on a VM right now is Home Assistant. But I do that with Cockpit and KVM/virsh.

I acknowledge that, this is the result of unbridled capitalism.

When a person uses social engineering and manipulation to extract money from an individual or company it’s called fraud, when a large enough company does it it’s just business.

If only our government could give us some handy dandy consumer protection laws.

Of course it’s an Israeli firm that is enabling this greedy behavior. They already price gouge as it is. Can’t we go back to the formula of “our cost + our profit margin adjusted for market”. This bleeding the customer dry bullshit should stick in bullshit avoidable video game micro transactions.

Keep in mind their claims about Android have been clearly refuted and their claims in general are dubious.

Given this, they’re either dangerously ignorant or intentionally malicious.

I have some invites.

9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol

If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.

He got scammed again? Damn. Sorry, I was referring this one. And not really the details of the scam, but it was the wrong place / wrong time element that reminded me.

Edit: the article you linked is older, so I guess not “again”.

Yup, what you’re describing sounds inline with how Corey Doctorow fell victim to fraud.

I’m fairly certain I annoy the people at my bank because I always insist on calling them back at their official number if they ask for any personal information. I don’t fuck around with my bank security. I did however get got a couple of more years ago back when the chrome browser window phishing attack first started and had my Steam account stolen for a solid minute.

That’s the attack where they simulate a browser window so what you think is a oauth popup is actually just inpage javascript and CSS.
