Sort of a modern twist on BBS. Every new user will not see what was done previously, but stick around and enjoy the chaos.

Found this while surfing the webz, thought you might it as interesting and amusing as I did. Hopefully it's not too OT.

It's a mix of piracy history, code golfing, free speech activism, art, digital community, and general ingenuity that ends up being a critique of digital copyright under the DMCA. Also found the quote at the end of the table to be sadly still very relevant.

As long as I am mayor of this city [Jersey City, New Jersey] the great industries are secure. We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear these words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never hear a real American talk like that. -- Frank "I am the law" Hague (1896-1956)

I'm working on self hosting a e-cloud server ( for e/os phones). The mail server component of it wants to have a rDNS PTR record from my public IP back to mail.<myDomain.com>. I can't do that since I'm using dDNS and my ISP won't give me that ability unless I have business service (very expensive). The ISP I have is my only choice and I hate them. I have DNS Zones hoisted elsewhere to handle my dDNS scripts for everything but rDNS. So on tyo my question, Anyone know of a way to get a public IP service that will allow me to make a rDNS PTR entry and forward all traffic to my real public IP? Would that even work?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I have considered VPS but I'm trying to save the extra cost of the VPS and also like the idea of having all my data where I can actually touch it. I was hoping for something like a reverse proxy service I could get with DNS and a static IP (so I could have rDNS) for cheaper than a VPS since I would not need the storage, CPU, etc.

Is there any simple vector drawing application that can let me make rough sketches with arbitrary units?

For example, I want to be able to draw a rectangle that is exactly 2'6 x 12".

If I scale it by 50% it should be 15" x 6". I want to be able to measure distances. I don't want to keep track of a scale/conversion/ratio in my head, that's a perfect job for computer.

In the old Sketchup software (RIP) you could type the measurements in while drawing or manipulating objects. It was extremely fast and intuitive. I don't need 3d modelling; it was just a great UI.

All I can find is CAD and it is way overkill. Not gonna design a cotton gin or a circuit board. I just want to make a simple floor plan to see if the furniture would fit the way I want to arrange it. Or estimate material requirements for projects.

Desired features: Layers, customizable/smart keyboard shortcuts, colors, rectangle circle lines, transform/scale/skew/rotate, group/lock objects, rulers grids guide snapping.

anything?

New research reveals that the DNA switches controlling human finger development originated from genes that regulated fish cloacas 380 million years ago[^1].

"Rather than building a new regulatory system for the digits, nature has repurposed an existing mechanism, initially active in the cloaca," explains developmental geneticist Denis Duboule from the University of Geneva[^1].

The research team discovered this by comparing fish and mouse genomes, focusing on Hoxd genes. When they tagged DNA switches with fluorescent markers, these lit up in mouse digits but in fish cloacas. Deleting these genetic elements using CRISPR-Cas9 disrupted finger development in mice and cloaca formation in fish[^1].

"The common feature between the cloaca and the digits is that they represent terminal parts," notes geneticist Aurélie Hintermann. "Sometimes they are the end of tubes in the digestive system, sometimes the end of feet and hands"[^1].

The growing popularity of the “Bowie” bond — a security backed by royalties — may sound strange, but it’s nothing new. In treating songs like annuities, capitalists prove once again that nothing is too sacred, or silly, to be commodified.

Hello selfhosters!

I have what is hopefully a simple ask. I am looking for some outdoor cameras for my sister, who is not at all tech savvy. I am, to an extent, and I'd like to get her set up with a small, remotely-manageable system to view and record the outside of her home. I'd wager there's a plethora of selfhost software that can be run on a number of systems (I'm thinking something cheap like a Raspberry Pi), to connect to an external HDD for camera storage.

I'm also looking for camera suggestions for this purpose. Wi-Fi cameras are ideal, since we don't have the means to run ethernet for PoE.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you all have a wonderful week :)

i'm trying to setup nginx to run as a proxy to aggregate multiple services. running on different ports on the server, using nginx to let me connect to all the services by going to a specific subdirectory. so i can keep only one port open in the router between my lab and the main house network.

i'm using the following config file from an example i found to do this, with a landing page to let me get to the other services:

# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

ssl_certificate /certs/cert.pem;  # Path to your SSL certificate
ssl_certificate_key /certs/key.pem;  # Path to your SSL certificate key

location / {
    root /var/www/html;  # Path to the directory containing your HTML file
    index index.html;  # Default file to serve
}


location /transbt {
#configuration for transmission
    proxy_pass http://10.89.0.3:9091/;  
proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

but the problem i'm having is that, while nginx does redirect to transmission's login prompt just fine, after logging in it tries to redirect me to 10.0.0.114:1403/transmission/web instead of remaining in 10.0.0.114:1403/transbt and breaks the page. i've found a configuration file that should work, but it manually redirects each subdirectory transmission tries to use, and adds proxy_pass_header X-Transmission-Session-Id; which i'm not sure what's accomplishing: github gist

is there a way to do it without needing to declare it explicitly for each subdirectory? especially since i need to setup other services, and i doubt i'll find config files for those as well it's my first time setting up nginx, and i haven't been able to find anything to make it work.

Edit: I forgot to mention. The server is still inside of a nat. It's not reachable by the outside. The SSL certificate is self signed and it's just a piece of mind because a lot of things connect to the home net. And none of the services I plan to use only support http.

Un peu vieux, mais j'avais raté l'affaire

I've tested the game on PC and mobile. I could not get a controller working on PC, so you'll have to rely on keyboard inputs. However, there are touch controls if you play in a mobile browser, which means you can play on your phone any time you want, since the game is free.

I recently upgraded my network from a basic router to a Netgear GS108E Gigabit switch. Backups are now way faster, which is great… but now I’ve run into a new problem.

I run Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) in a VM on one of my servers (let’s call it Proxmox 2). PBS has 100 GB of cache storage since I’m using S3 as a datastore - it stores chunks locally before uploading to S3.

Here’s the issue: I try to backup a VM from another server (Proxmox 1). The VM’s storage is 300 GB, but actual usage is under 30 GB. Everything works fine until it hits 34% (104 GB of data). At that point, the PBS VM and the host server itself become completely unreachable. I have to force power off and restart.

I understand why PBS might crash – my VM has 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, and my internet is only around 60–70 Mbps—but why would the host server hang as well?

Has anyone experienced something like this? Could it be networking, storage, or something else in Proxmox causing the host to become unresponsive when PBS gets busy? Any ideas or advice would be appreciated!

"Bureaucrats in Brussels" are unfairly challenging Apple's closed ecosystem and denying users the "magical, innovative experience" that makes the firm unique, Apple said.

The so-called walled garden that combines Apple's products and software ensures a safe and high quality experience for users, it says, but EU regulators counter that it unfairly shuts out rivals.

Dans la nuit du samedi 20 au dimanche 21 septembre 2025, une vingtaine de personnes, visages camouflés, capuches sur la tête et battes de base-ball à la main, ont fait irruption sur la place pour attaquer les clients du bar de La Plage, à Brest (Finistère). En réaction, un rassemblement massif a eu lieu ce dimanche soir, sur le lieu de l’agression. Le cortège a ensuite pris la direction de la place de la Liberté.

La place Guérin, à Brest (Finistère), est connue pour son grand rendez-vous de la Foire aux Croûtes, mais aussi pour rassembler diverses personnes issues du monde associatif, culturel, politique, gravitant autour de la gauche ou de l’extrême gauche.

Dans la nuit du samedi 20 au dimanche 21 septembre 2025, peu après minuit, elle a été le théâtre d’une violente altercation. Une vingtaine de personnes, visages camouflés, capuches sur la tête et battes de base-ball à la main, ont fait irruption sur la place pour attaquer les clients du bar de La Plage, installés en terrasse pour prendre un verre.

Quatre personnes seront légèrement blessées. Les forces de l’ordre, qui formaient un cordon de sécurité autour des blessés, ont aussi subi des jets de pierre et de bouteilles de verre.

Selon plusieurs organisations de gauche, le caractère politique de l’agression ne fait aucun doute. Les élus écologistes, les socialistes – dont le maire, François Cuillandre – et le député LFI Pierre-Yves Cadalen pointent l’extrême droite.

En réaction, un appel a été lancé pour se réunir à 19 h, ce dimanche, place Guérin. Environ 1 400 personnes ont répondu présent. Les prises de parole se sont enchaînées : « Brest reste et restera antifasciste ». Un fumigène a été allumé dans la foule. Rapidement, le cortège s’est mis en marche en direction de la mairie de Brest. Les manifestants ont rallié la place de la Liberté peu avant 20 h. « Je suis membre de l’Union démocratique bretonne, explique une octogénaire qui participe à la manifestation. Le bureau est place Guérin. Je n’ai pas envie de m’y rendre la peur au ventre. »
