After reading the Rock, Paper, Shotgun review, not so much. I still haven't finished elden ring so I'm more likely to go back to that than start a new thing that's more of the same but not quite. It's taking random characters from other games (Nameless king from DS3 is a named example in the RPS review) so it feels like an attempt to make money from existing assets rather than a genuine attempt to do something creative or interesting. My friends will probably get it which means I'll probably get it but I'm not convinced we'll stick with it.

I don't know much about how national parks work in practice but they seem to be a way to create little feifdoms for people to get into positions of power, even if it is just the power to say you can't park in a certain place overnight.

It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

Seems like a strong signal for more FP4 support. Their current commitment as far as I can tell is for the FP4 to lose support in just under 2 years, so hopefully the "straight to android 15" announcement means that will change. I'd like to just keep the FP4 going as long as possible.

Ugh I don't know why but this was the one that got me. Just no.

These are sophomores and Juniors in college.

... Who grew up in a world where computer internals were abstracted away so you never needed to know what a file was or even that they exist. I wouldn't know what a file was either if I didn't grow up in exactly the right time frame and have a dad who hoarded DOS PCs.

This is so British politics. Don't solve all of the fundamental problems of Brexit, just fix the minor one that people will have a direct experience of.

Before the comments roll in, are you venting or looking for advice?

In case it's just the latter: this was a tough read and I hope you're ok.

Of course even as a child Churchill is smug

I think that's because they don't understand or don't care about the risks. Annoyingly I was in the process of making my own version of this campaign when it launched but I was aiming to explain why someone should care that the os is no longer supported and why its a problem first, then suggesting what to do about it. Options weren't exclusively Linux but I realise buying a new device isn't always an option either so some people will absolutely keep using 10. It's not about getting to 100%, just enough that you can make a difference or keep devices out of landfill.

 

Hi all, my trusty (but honestly always pretty terrible) Amazon basics tripod finally died, does anyone have a tripod they'd recommend or brands they'd avoid?

Typical usage for me would be travelling/hiking and landscape photography so ideally small and light without breaking the bank (which I know is pretty tough). Budget is variable but call it £100-£200 for now.

FP4 Android 13 Update is live (forum.fairphone.com)

It's being rolled out in stages so you, like me, may not have it yet.

 

Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!

 

What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?

Asking as I've got a lot of spare components lying around that I'm planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn't work out I'll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.

 

EDIT: Issue now resolved. Turns out that having an A record point to a DNS server probably wasn't the best idea. My best theory here is that A records pointing to DNS servers means "Find the authority on this domain at this other DNS server", which could never resolve. By pointing it to my VPS, the DNS could resolve to a definitive IP, and the certs were successfully generated.

Hi all, hope someone can help as I'm just confused now!

Long story short I want to host local services (like ntfy) using trusted certificates. I hoped to do this with Caddy and a wildcard domain (I don't want to expose the DNS records of the services I'm running if not necessary).

In my DNS I have an A record for *.local.example.com pointing at a semi-random IP. I have other services on a VPS on other subdomains so I can't just use a wildcard. This looks like:

blog  A  <VPS IP>
*.local  A  1.1.1.1

On the server in my home network (which I do not want to expose) I have dnsmasq running that is handling local DNS records for services on the LAN but carefully not the remote services on the same domain. Using dig I can see that the local and remote DNS are working as expected. Seeing the error on DNS-01 challenged "could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com" I have also added an exception in my local DNS for _acme-challenge.local to point to cloudflare's DNS at 1.1.1.1. The dig command confirms this works as expected after restarting dnsmasq.

With the following Caddyfile:

*.local.example.com {
        tls {
                dns <dns provider plugin> <API token>
        }

        @ntfy host ntfy.local.example.com
        handle @ntfy {
                reverse_proxy ntfy
        }
}

Every DNS-01 challenge fails with "...solving challenges: presenting for challenge: could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com"...".

I think this should be possible, but I'm not clear what I'm missing so any help greatly appreciated. I'm just dipping my toes into self-hosting and actually getting practical use out of my Raspberry Pi that's been collecting dust for years.

Not affiliated I just find this useful and it exposed me to a few of the new features of Ruby 3.2 like not having to specify the value in kwargs if the variable is defined in scope, eg:

foo = 'bar'; call(foo:) is equivalent to foo = 'bar'; call(foo: foo)
