  • Have you tried emptying your lungs? It sounds crazy, but you actually don’t have to completely fill your lungs with air, just enough so that you can last a good while underwater and so that you’re no longer buoyant. It takes some practice, and you might panic a little bit at first, but once you get used to that, it just becomes second nature.

    The only times I hold as much air as possible are when I’m trying apneas (holding my breath as long as possible), but I stay near the surface for that and I remain inmobile. (Also, make sure there’s more people with you and that you’re signing that you’re fine)











  • I was already on Mastodon when the API price increase thing happened on reddit and my favourite client (infinity) became useless. I wasn’t going to use the bloat-fest that is the reddit app, so I switched to Lemmy in “protest”. Now I’m using eternity (a fork of infinity) and I have found a place in this community where I’m incredibly happy. I’m never going back to that shithole and I don’t miss anything from there. There’s a lot of karma-farming and every single person there reads exactly the same. There’s no real discourse. The only times I use it (and through a web browser) is when I’m looking for solutions to some tech-related issue, and that is, if I haven’t found the solution here already.








  • Yeah! That’s cool, I haven’t had any issues so far.

    Everyday I get a bunch of logs of bots trying to access files and folders that don’t exist. It seems that they are targeting wordpress sites because all the files start with ‘wp-’ for example, some tried to access ‘wp-admin/credentials’, but since my site isn’t wordpress I’m not worried. Besides, I’m pretty sure that I could implement some rules on the firewall or even on nginx to block access to said directories by (for example) redirecting them to a different page.


  • I’m learning docker now. I found a whole video about the reverse proxy capabilities of nginx and docker, so I’ll be checking that out.

    My goal is to have my own homelab and expose some services to the internet, or maybe even set up my own vpn so that I may access and configure things on my network from somewhere else.

    I’m still struggling with the port forward thingie, and while Cloudflare tunnels are a nice thing to have, they protect me too much. I want a public IP address that I can use and register on a DNS, or ssh directly into my network from anywhere in the world. As I mentioned, I want to be able to shoot myself in the foot without actually doing so, (hopefully).
