I don’t know about recent events, or chatgpt4 lately, but i reallly thing it has gotten far worse in the latest months, around the time when issues about protection of jobs against AI and ethical were arising.

I started web development in the last year and was desperately looking for a job, i learned React and Django and was really bad at those as well.
I just got a chance to land a fullstack job near my home, it required Node and Angular, liked my interview and wanted to test me in 2 weeks.

I really put a lot of effort and hours myself, followed documentations and tutorials, but i kid you not, chatgpt got me out of a looot of stupid issues i could not figure out, either syntax, or complete explanation of what i was wrong about, (i really don’t like and use copy-paste of its code, just because i needed to learn, not complete the project).

Landed that job with my boss even congratulating me on my assignment and got around with my tasks better than what i used to do with my own code.

Lately I feel it is waaay worse, maybe it’s me using it just to find out something i can’t already find anywhere else, but it’s not uncommon I paste in some code, and he spits out word for word the same thing i’m telling it is not working

Well… Not that i voted for her nor will I ever… But trust me, the alternatives were garbage…

I stopped voting last 2 election because it was getting embarrassing…

All promises in campaign, then they internally fight over position and roles then make the government collapse and so on…
Nothing is stable, nothing gets done, every situation is just “something the previous government left and that we have to face” over and over again.

We did not choose her…she was just the only one who didn’t yet have a go at it.

It’s stupid, not ideal, but the standard around her is just trash

welp… i go to fail this too… xD

read the documentation you listed
dug around the official docs setting up and getting informed beforehand

I read about testing to the staging letsencrypt api, but then forgot to add that

ran the container, it failed to get ssl certificates, but it blocked me in less than 20 seconds

I then changed some configs, since i was testing different ways of how it might work, but even after switching to the staging api for letsencrypt, i still receive logs saying it is refused and on timeout

i just might be cursed

wow, thanks for all the help!! Man, i misssed this kind of community feel for the last like…4 years.

I just woke up and saw this comment, as i get back from work i’ll test it.
Yesterday I’ve tried making nginx proxy manager and cloudflare work, since I had already tried them couple of times, but still, i get to the same point and can’t really figure out why I either get “Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.” or " Web server is down Error code 521 "

thanks again for the clarification.
I have used a wireguard instance for my father’s synology couple years ago following some tutorials since his account was having problems using the synology quickconnect for some reason ( solved by the support )

Anyway, yeah I remember it was kinda of an hassle to setup and explain to him multiple times the process…and to be honest i quite forget most of it myself…

On Android one can’t just run one app via vpn right??
like tunneling just the nextcloud app and leavin the rest alone…

thanks a lot for the easy recap !!
I remember hearing and checking out Nginx Proxy Manager while following tutorials some mention that, but i found the tutorials kinda awkward at the time and didn’t fully understand what it was for ( it was kinda of a long time ago tbh ).

As for the ISP, it is Fastweb, in italy, and is kinda a bummer, they rely on Telecom’s FTTC network ( meaning the cable and cabinets infrastructure ) for their service, so i can either choose Fastweb ( kinda good pricing since I only have internet and no home phone ) or Telecom’s pricing are like and armed robbery, where the fixed price you sign is already higher, and is full of hidden paid service that pop up every now and again and it gets you mad on how many times you have to call their customer service to either remove those service or claim refund.

Other ISPs in my area don’t have fiber connection and top to like 5 Mbs downloads on a good day.

Anyway, thanks a lot!

same here about reddit, I just joined as well, and also plan on giving back to communities I enjoyed in reddit.

Unfortunately i’m kinda busy with a new job and I haven’t had time yet to properly set up all my communities and start adding content :(

anyway, thanks a lot, i didn’t know about tildes, i’ll check it out !!

right?? so it’s not just my own impression…

I know I like tech stuff and I know i can get passionate and raise my skills on my own, but I could not find any good “beginner level” resource that didn’t step from a simple nice to get drawing of how things should be, to a complex mixmatch of services and settings that leaves me in doubt of what do i have to do in my instance…

Thanks for the link, i’ll check it out as i get back home…
Since you are on the same journey and know about any group chat or communities that are noob approachable, i’m all ears

I may have express myself poorly, sorry, was in a rush.

I got the services running fine, am still learning and testing few things but the things I need or build are available and running on local.

My issue is about publishing them online, like linking them to a domain name I bough, and pointing that to my static home IP address, and the routing for each of them
like “cloud.myhomelab.net” to point to my home IP, and then reverse proxy that to the nextcloud instance at 192.168.1.127:8080 that is a proxmox container running docker containers

I followed some of dbtech’s tutorials, and tried via Porkbun and cloudflare tunnels, and just after posting this I saw that it finally propagated (after a looot of days) but can only reach one of the services I set up.

Another way i kinda heard about was not using cloudflare tunnels and redirecting the traffic to my static IP to an nginx container that then redirects the traffic inside my home lan but I really don’t know how to handle security with that, and also my ISP is blocking traffic on port 80 and 443 ( “it’s for our router firmware’s updates…” that were like 4 years ago last update )

All the idea of how to connect my local machines to the outside world and different method and secure proofing is soo difficult to understand for my, i really can’t wrap my head around on what does what

goood!
Reddit behaved in such a horrible way, that I feel like API pricing was the least of the bad…

One could argue about their fairness and aim to destroy 3rd party apps, and I had already closed my accounts at that very step.

But the way they treated mods, forced subs to open and behaved like pure evil assholes, I really see how companies or more “official” subreddits with a touch of interest in their users, would feel the desire to leave and close bridges
