  • (I’ll attempt this based on my understanding of both)

    Pouring a cup of juice is something an adult needs to be involved with.

    sudo is when you ask for permission to pour your own cup of juice. You ask an adult, they give you the cup and the juice, and then you’re responsible for pouring it. If the adult isn’t paying attention they may leave the fridge open for you to go back for more juice or another beverage, but otherwise you’re limited to the amount of juice the adult has given you.

    run0 is when the adult just gets you a cup of juice. You tell them what you want, they go and pour the juice, and just give you the cup with the juice in it. You never enter the kitchen, so you don’t have access to the fridge, just your cup of juice.





  • I’d second afraid.org, have been using them for years and they’ve always been great. They also support dynamic DNS so if you’re on a dynamic IP address you can have the address be updated automatically when your IP address does.

    More relevant to the question, I’m pretty sure you can create NS records for a subdomain as well. I was experimenting once a few years back with a DNS tunnel service and was able to get the DNS side of it configured. Never did get the service itself working but it was more of a curiosity at the time so didn’t spend a massive amount of time on it.






  • Whilst it’s a topic that can get very personal (which is why invariably political discussions ultimately get heated very quickly, as this thread has shown), I think the point here essentially boils down to pointing out what not voting means.

    In a system where you have one side doing their best to amplify the weight votes for them have (whether that be through gerrymandering, the electoral college, etc), not voting just increases that amplification. So whilst on paper not voting demonstrates your lack of confidence in either side (and let’s be honest, without some real changes it’s a two horse race), in reality that decision is primarily (not exclusively, but primarily) benefiting one side of politics.

    If you’re making the decision to not vote with full knowledge of what that means, realistically I think that’s all someone can ask without getting into a discussion about trying to change your mind about that decision.


  • I use ocserv to provide a Cisco AnyConnect compatible VPN server. There’s an SSL proxy running on port 443 of my gateway so the VPN is only accessible using the right domain name, and the server is running in a Docker container.

    Main reason I go for ocserv over OpenVPN or Wireguard is when I used to travel to China for work I found it was able to get past the Chinese firewalls. No idea if it still holds true but a few years ago it was fine.


  • They did pull that bullshit here though. Personal Hotspot on iOS was a paid extra feature in most cases when it first launched back in iOS 7 (can’t speak to the Android side of things personally), assuming you could get it at all. It didn’t become standard until later. It’s generally standard these days thankfully but it wasn’t always.
