Is there a chat/dating app that isn't complete shit and pay wall restricted?
  • Bumble is terrible for meeting people. Once you match someone they have 24 hours to respond. I'm fine with the woman needing to message first, but if you don't respond in that 24 hours their match is removed. What if that woman has a life and didn't open the app that day? Oh but you can spend money to extend that window. So if she's on vacation yay you get to buy extensions for a week. It's just a scam.

  • Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?
  • Reverse proxy is actually super easy with nginx. I have an nginx server at the front of my server doing the reverse proxy and an Apache server hosting some of those applications being proxied.

    Basically 3 main steps:

    • Setup up the DNS with your hoster for each subdomain.

    • Setup your router to port forward for each port.

    • Setup nginx to do the proxy from each subdomain to each port.

    DreamHost let's me manage all the records I want. I point them to the same IP as my server:

    This is my config file:

    server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
    
        server_name photos.my_website_domain.net;
    
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2342;
            include proxy_params;
        }
     }
    
     server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
    
        server_name media.my_website_domain.net;
    
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8096;
            include proxy_params;
        }
    }
    

    And then I have dockers running on those ports.

    root@website:~$ sudo docker ps
    CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED       STATUS       PORTS                                                      NAMES
    e18157d11eda   photoprism/photoprism:latest   "/scripts/entrypoint…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   0.0.0.0:2342->2342/tcp, :::2342->2342/tcp, 2442-2443/tcp   photoprism-photoprism-1
    b44e8a6fbc01   mariadb:11                     "docker-entrypoint.s…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   3306/tcp                                                   photoprism-mariadb-1
    

    So if you go to photos.my_website_domain.net that will navigate the user to my_website_domain.net first. My nginx server will kick in and see you want the 'photos' path, and reroute you to basically http://my_website_domain.net:2342. My PhotoPrism server. So you could do http://my_website_domain.net:2342 or http://photos.my_website_domain.net. Either one works. The reverse proxy does the shortcut.

    Hope that helps!

  • What the heck is a god dang cloud?
  • Adobe also recently snuck into their ToS that they could use whatever you made with their products for training AI and then gaslit everyone saying "we never said that" and changed their ToS. You know where you can't access my stuff? Offline.

  • Yeap, it is
  • I think it's general anxiety. I get butterflies in my stomach when I do anything off my routine. Even if it's just hanging with friends. What do I wear, how do I get there, will I know people, should I bring something?
