  • I host my own SearXNG via docker compose, reverse proxied it via Traefik, added a few security headers, restricted access to my country to help prevent abuse.

    Use it daily, the only complaint I really have is it occasionally doesn’t search when you type in the address bar of a browser. What I mean is I’ll type a search query and instead of redirecting to the query (searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=test) it’ll just redirect to the homepage of my SearXNG instance (searx.yourdomain.tld) forcing me to retype my query. Annoying but not the end of the world.


  • You ”resurrect” at a spawn tower I guess would be the best way to put it.

    Tap for spoiler

    the game has a hierarchy system where you go against different types of warlords, each with their own abilities and weaknesses, if you bring a warlord down to a certain health you can ”infect/command” them and utilize them to go into combat, breach castles or fight other warlords, gather enough warlords and you’ll see them roaming the map and help you if they see you in combat.

    It’s quite a unique mechanic and I’m pretty sure Warner Bro’s copywriten/trademarked it or something along those lines.






  • You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…

    I’m fully aware, however, I am not about to start bookmarking job’s labelled as #20000 -> 50000 and all their PDF’s, documents an such. Some jobs last 2+ years, like bridge projects, whereas other last a couple weeks to a month, easier to just leave tabs open for what I am focusing on within that current month.

    Edit: If I really wanted to do that I could just self-host a bookmarking service that way bookmarks stay centralized, but then I’m taking work home, so screw that.








  • This was a while ago so the details are fuzzy, I gave it Traefiks docker labels on port :5380 but that didn’t seem to work then I read an a bug report saying give Traefik :8053 so I tried that and again didn’t work so I went back to :5380 and all of a sudden it reverse proxied but my login wouldn’t work even though it worked when going to the LAN IP+Port didn’t find much in terms of troubleshooting and documentation so I eventually gave up on it.

    I have had terrible experiences with recursive DNS resolvers, PiHole+Unbound worked for maybe an hour then would completely kill my internet access, the same essentially went with OpenSense, I had hope for Technitium but alas didn’t feel the need to spend hours troubleshooting something that PiHole alone did with ease.




  • Pro-Tip: You can reverse proxy any service on your network but if the IP of your reverse proxy does not match the IP of your A record, aka your server is behind a VPN, the public will not be able to access your server.

    Http/s is neat that way, if the IP’s don’t match then it’s technically considered an insecure or misconfigured setup but it works great to prevent unauthorized access to one’s server.

    I must agree with other users here, hosting a public file hosting server is a bad idea, at the bare minimum Authentik or Keycloak should be in front of it but I digress, https://catbox.moe/ already endures this pain for us.


    Not sure what reverse proxy you’re using but alternatively Traefik’s middleware IPAllowList works great for blacklisting all IP’s and only whitelisting the known few.
