  • it’ll still cause downtime, and they’ll probably have a hard time restoring from backup for the first few times it happens, if not for other reason then stress. especially when it updates the wrong moment, or wrong day.

    they will leave vulnerable, un-updated containers exposed to the web

    that’s the point. Services shouldn’t be exposed to the web, unless the person really knows what they are doing, took the precautions, and applies updates soon after release.

    exposing it to the VPN and to tge LAN should be plenty for most. there’s still a risk, but much lower

  • I guess this way people often just think that higher number is better, even if only subconsciously, and people will more often by a newer phone. but single increments like with the generation don’t have the same effect if the numbers are already large, and if they would use the release year maybe that wouldn’t have this effect on sales because people know it’s just the year. and a change from 2024 to 2025 does not seem to be so big as from 5 to 6




  • what do you mean by off network? on the wifi of a different home’s network, that has internet access?

    the wireguard client on your laptop is supposed to give the laptop (and the laptop only) access to your home network, and the reverse proxy running on the laptop is supposed to give local devices access to services at home selectively, by listening on port 443 on the local network, and processing requests to services that you defined, by forwarding them through the vpn tunnel.
    this requires that a machine at home runs a wireguard server, and that its port is forwarded in your router
