Interesting, I didn't realize they got the javascript trademark when they got Sun. I wouldn't be surprised if a judge threw out the trademark as generic at this point, if they understood technology, but that's a big if. I knew naming rights were a big reason that people tried to roll the name back to ECMAScript, but that never really took off.

They bought Java (not javascript) a long time ago. With, as far as I can tell, the sole intent of monetization through legal action.

I'm a big fan of syncthing. It doesn't rely on cloud services for storage, and can work 100% locally if you want it to.

It isn't perfect. It has a model of running a web server for managing the service which is a little strange. Because it is not backed by any cloud storage it means you are on your own to make sure you keep your copies safe.

With those two issues understood, it is simple, fast, free, and and supported almost everywhere. I have it on my phone, laptop, desktop, and as a docker container on my NAS. Everything stays synced and the NAS does backups of the data.

Nobody: Me: This

There's nothing saying you can't have ports forwarded for the NAS, and have a VPN for everything else. Censorship may be a problem, but those more often block VPN services like NordVPN, not protocols. So running your own is less likely to be stopped. That said, of course comply with local laws, I don't know where you live or what's legal there.

If you really want multiple things exposed at the same time, you have two options(which can be used in combination if needed/wanted):

1. A reverse proxy. I use caddy. I give it a config file that says what address and port binds to what hostname, and I forward port 443/80 to it. That works great for web content.
2. Use custom ports for everything. I saw someone else walking you through that. It works, but is a little harder to remember, so good notes will be important.

I still recommend against forwarding a lot of ports as a beginner. It's very common for software and web apps to have security vulnerabilities, and unless you are really on top of it, you could get hit. Not only does that put all your internal devices at risk, not just the one that was original breached, it also will likely become part of a botnet, so your local devices will be used to attack other people. I'd recommend getting confident with your ability to maintain your services and hardening your environment first.

I don't know why you are asking me.

There are two major advantages to what Nintendo did. The plastic top significantly increases shatter resistance. Look at Jerryrig Everything's review to see, it's almost impossible to break the screen now via blunt force, which is a big problem for people with kids. Surface scratches are far better than a shattered screen.

The second advantage is that you can put a glass screen protector on it and get the best of both worlds. A replaceable glass surface that is nice and hard. What I think would have made it better is if the console came with a pre-installed glass protector that was replaceable.

Monkey's Paw: His next birthday is spent underground because WW3 kicked off and he is in a nuclear bunker.

Just a thought: Try making the first layer of letters empty so the letter fill is actually a layer 2 bridge.

A trick I have done is printing the first layer solid in a transparent filament, then layer 2 as 2 color.

I had the same problem with lemmy.one shutting down. I've been exploring around and am currently trying feddit.online, because it isn't lemmy based. So far I'm liking it, but Piefed just got a proper API for apps and the first app launched yesterday, so we'll see how it goes.

A region check might be a good way to handle it and load balance at the same time. Pushing people to a larger variety of instances while also making it easy on them. The down side is certainly the overhead of vetting and maintaining the list.

This is them, to the best of their ability, complying with UK law. If more people tried to comply, perhaps the UK government would realize how foolish their Online Safety Act is and do something about it.
