dammn perverts those devs!

How do you verify that nobody is holding the original developer at gunpoint making them sign their compromised software with their real key?

The point I’m trying to make: At some point, you have to trust something which you can not feasibly verify.

For most cases the github repo and an occasional look on a relevant newsfeed is good enough. If it’s not good enough for yours, the first question still stands.

Not as mature as ipv4 apperantly.

ipv6 works fine on my intranet.

If big company A or B can’t get their shit together don’t blame the victim. But if you don’t believe me, I invite you to a debugging session. Honestly I’d be happy to be proven wrong if it works in the end.

Every time I try to use Ipv6, I run into dozens of weird issues and bugs and my selfhosted stuff becomes unusable/unreliable.

I don’t know where the issue exactly lies in the chain of networking, but it sure is annoying as a motherfucker to debug. As far as I can tell none of my stuff is the problem and the issue lies either with my ISP or VPS provider.

For now, I removed the AAAA entries and suddenly everything works without any hiccups. Wake me up when those issues are solved… maybe in 10 or 20 years…

You write “participate” which sounds like a free choise, but I don’t do it out of my own free will. I do it because the web is so enshittified, that it forces me to selfhost more and more of my own websites that only I use.

I fucking hate doing any devops. I think it’s the most boring, soul sucking task there is. Fucking yamls and .env and config files in different places for every app with it’s own syntax.

I tried passing it to an LLM but it’s always subtly wrong, so in the end I still have to read everything, correct everything, generate keypairs, configure something on each client etc.

Every day a million bots are hammering my services, so I have to run crowdsec and fail2ban and make sure there are no ways in, everything is behind a login, up to date, constant manual migrations to newer versions cause one of my hunders of apps always has a breaking change.

I’ve written more devops and security related stuff on my CV than my carreer programming experience. I got a job because now I am not just a fullstack developer, but a fuller stack devsecops-veloper. Showing my homelab and docker setup during a fucking java + react interview landed an immediate yes at the wage that I wished.

I fucking hate devops. Now I have to do it in my free time and at my job. Why does the world force me into devops? Please take it away. Let somebody else handle it. I want to enjoy my life again.
