How to use a domain I own to self-host services?
  • When you put your server's tailscale IP in the dns, anything that looks up that dns gets the tailscale IP. You only need to connect the devices you want to have connect to the server to the same tailscale network, and your system will handle the routing.

  • How to use a domain I own to self-host services?
  • On your DNS provider, make an A record with your IP address, AAAA record with your IPv6 address. If these addresses change often, either setup a dyndns (your DNS provider needs to support this) or pay for a Static IP from your ISP. Firewall the hell out of your network, have a default deny (drop) new inbound rule, and only open ports for your service. Use an nginx reverse proxy if possible to keep direct connections out of your service, and use containers (docker?) for your service(s). Don't forget to setup certbot and fail2ban. You need certbot to auto update your certs, and you need fail2ban to keep the automated login hacker bots from getting in.

    That's the minimum. You can do more with ip region blocking and such, as well as more advanced firewalling and isolation. Also possible to use Tailscale and point the DNS A record to the Tailscale IP, which will eliminate exposing your public IP to the internet.

  • The average Windows user doesn't care about TPM 2.0
  • The average Windows user doesn't care about viruses or malware either. Without any protection, however, it would be foolish to connect such a system online.

    Hate Windows because lack of privacy, but note how much security the system has built-in behind the scenes, to mitigate the constant attacks against the most popular desktop OS.

  • Study (N=16) finds AI (Cursor/Claude) slows development
  • If you already know what you're doing, AI generating code is redundant. If you don't know what you're doing, it might work for you, up to the point you're spending all your time debugging hallucinatory code.
