Home insurance does not typically cover flooding. It’s sold separately and typically will only cover up to $250k. So you had better hope your house gets blown over by the wind instead of getting flooded up to the roofline or you will not get enough money to rebuild your house.

So many suggestions here but I thought I’d chime in because I have a setup very similar to what you suggested and I found a very easy way of hosting it securely. I am using Unraid on a system in my house. I have my web service running in a docker container. I exposed it using a cloudflare tunnel. There is an Unraid plugin for cloudflare tunnels that takes out a lot of the configuration work involved in getting it running locally. You just have to also set up a corresponding endpoint on Cloudflare’s website and have a domain name registered with them for you to link to it.

The way it works then is when someone requests your domain (or subdomain) in their browser, Cloudflare gets the request and redirects the traffic to the cloudflare tunnel client app that you set up in your computer. That app on your machine then redirects the traffic to your other container that is hosting your web service and established bidirectional communication that way.

The benefits to this system are:

• Relatively easy setup, especially if you want to expose more services in the future (you’ll need to run a separate cloudflare container for each service exposed though)
• No need to open ports in your router or firewall on your home network. Cloudflare just knows how to communicate between its server and its client app on your computer (I think you have to set up an access token so it is secure).
• None of your users ever learn your home IP address because once they connect at Cloudflare’s server, they don’t get any more knowledge than that about what’s on the other side.
• It’s free (not including the cost of registering your domain)
• You don’t have to worry about changing anything if your ISP randomly changes your IP address. Hell, you could even move to a new house and take your computer with you and you wouldn’t have to reconfigure anything.

Downsides:

• You have to trust that Cloudflare is not scraping all the traffic going through the tunnel.
• Some people have a moral issue with giving Cloudflare more responsibility for hosting “the Internet”. We already rely on their infrastructure heavily for large sections of the Internet. If they ever become malicious or compromised, there is a lot to lose as a society.

I believe you can use Wireguard and a rented VPS to recreate this setup without Cloudflare but it will require a lot more knowledge in order to set it up with more points of failure. And it would cost more because even though Wireguard is FOSS, a VPS will cost you a monthly fee of at least a few bucks per month.

I currently have 2 services exposed using Cloudflare tunnels on my Unraid system at home. They’ve been running for over a year now with 0 interruption.

Except, you know, the reasons stated above. He didn’t just make a lite version for no reason

My problem with all of these is they end up being top-heavy and uncomfortable to hold

It would be hard to balance a game if some people have 100 hours of gameplay as a starting point and some people have none

How many assholes do we have on this ship?

Continuing save does practically nothing btw

There’s no guarantee this is how it will be for long. One benefit to the current system is fast queue times, not necessarily satisfying player’s desires (such as no solo lanes) or fair matchmaking (though some is involved). Faster queues means more games which means more analytics can be gathered by the devs to assist in making the game better. That’s the nature of a beta/playtest.

Did you walk the whole time?

What was musical about the acolyte?

Weird band name. Just ripping off Breaking Benjamin.

People don’t like centralizing the Internet in a single service. There’s nothing wrong with the product. It works great and is much more secure than opening ports in your home network. This community is just more biased toward decentralization and privacy, which is a common reason for people to start self hosting.

I think wireguard can allow you to set up a similar external connection with some extra steps. This would remove Cloudflare from the loop.

Do they have any leverage? How much money is wow still making off new content at this point?

Maybe he’s just a hipster

So he can give them instructions like “empty your pockets and place your weapons in the slot on your right, and put on the blindfold and ball gag on your left, and wait for someone to lead you a play room.” The video is for blackmail.

I mean I only watched a few episodes of Arthur on PBS after school back in the day. He was kind of an asshole but I’m over it now.

But how should I feel about it? Please tell me what to feel!

The main reason companies use frontend frameworks is it’s easier to continue development through employee turnover. If your app was written in react or angular you just have to hire someone who knows how those work and they can get up to speed pretty quickly. Modularity also allows for code reuse. It increases maintainability. Labor isbtye major cost of software development, so making things easier and faster to develop and maintain is better from a business perspective than ensuring your app can run on a 15 year old iphone.

If you wanna go frameworkless, JS-less, or whatever on your personal projects then fine. If you insist on it in a professional team environment, you’re making everyone’s lives more difficult.
