There are literally people living in Grimsby right now

No need to, but no need for it not to either. And no way to verify it isn’t beyond “trust me bro” and I don’t trust them

Surely that’s not zero knowledge since the government can see every site you visit, which is the whole point of these laws anyway

That was one of their best specials

Tbh I forgot about giving access to others, my homelab is for me only lol

Isn’t it easier to set up a VPN than expose it to the internet?

I looked further into it and it seems to be because on iPhone the restrictions were purely technical, it just wasn’t possible to publish anywhere other than the app store which apparently isn’t monopolistic.

However Google were apparently making deals to make the play store the more attractive choice despite the alternatives existing, which did count as monopolistic behavior.

Now in isolation I can sort of understand both of those decisions, and I don’t really care either way because fuck Google Apple and Epic, I want them all to lose. But in the context of both lawsuits happening pretty much at the same time this was literally the one result that made no sense. I could understand Epic winning or losing both cases, or even beating Apple and losing to Google, but this way round was just stupid and I think Googles recent behaviour is partially because of it.

Basically Epic weren’t happy with the 30% cut that Apple and Google take from app sales and in-app purchases so they introduced a direct payment method which bypassed Apple and Google’s payment methods, but was in violation of their app store rules. In response both Apple and Google removed Fortnite from the app store. Fortnite remained playable on Android because of sideloading but was unplayable on iOS (I’m not even sure if it’s back yet)

In response Epic sued both companies claiming they held an illegal monopoly. Somehow Apple won and Google lost

I also blame the Epic lawsuits. How the fuck did they lose to Apple but win against Google, the platform where Fortnite was still fully playable and monetised?

Apple shat all over those regulations with their implementation and got away with it so now Google are doing the same

You’re giving them too much credit. Their intentions are not benign and they are the authoritarian state

Ah I see, I didn’t realise you’d got rid of the old backups. Glad you managed to get most of it back!

And at least you have an off site backup, I still haven’t found a decent way to do it that isn’t prohibitively expensive

If you hadn’t got lucky with the backup array would your existing off site backups have been any help or were they too out of date?

When was the last time everything was fine?

Do you have any recommendations for a reverse proxy to use or resources on how to set one up? It’s not something I’ve properly looked into yet

I hadn’t considered OwnCloud because I thought it was pretty much the same as NextCloud but mainly aimed at enterprise. Does it have any advantages over Nextcloud?

I haven’t got round to setting up https yet since I only access my server via my LAN or Tailscale. When I do get round to setting it up I might use a reverse proxy rather than configuring it for every service. I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that’s even worth doing, so I don’t want to be forced into half-assing it for Nextcloud before I’m ready to do it properly. With Nextcloud specifically I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the domain after the initial setup, using the community edition via http seems to get round that problem as well
