  • I’m interpreting as this man is clearly desperate for work, I’m sure he’s not being picky here. There’s an absurdness to an employer asking “well tell me why pencil selling is your passion” as if only offering labor is not enough, an employee must be enthusiastic about their labor, regardless of how mundane it is.

    And really we see this everyday at ordinary job interviews.




  • If you really think someone is wrong don’t ask them “why, why, why” incessantly like a toddler, grow a pair of balls and just speak your mind.

    And in this case I meant “your IP” as in, the grand scheme of things “an IP address that you own”, a VPS for instance, not necessarily the destination. Obviously you wouldn’t need to tell a firewall what its own public IP is. Have I clarified my thought to your standards?







  • As long as whatever firewall rules you’re using is capable of resolving FQDNs then I don’t see an advantage of doing this. Maybe in the off chance that your IP changes, someone else gets the old IP and exploits it before the DDNS setup has a chance to update. I think that’s really unlikely.

    Edit: just to add to this, I do think static IPs are preferable to DDNS, just because it’s easier, but they also typically cost money.




  • So here’s my two cents:

    I think that if you have a bunch of services, then you should use caddy or Apache or nginx. doing this in caddy and Apache is not that difficult, but I understand the hesitation (I don’t have much experience with nginx)

    If you just want to get something working you could do bookmarks with the http://host.whatever.com:port and that would be Gucci.

    You could also use another registrar or name server besides Cloudflare to make URL redirect records. This is like an A record but it also includes a port. This is not a standard type of record, but some places will do it like Namecheap.

    Again, if you want to do it the right and best way, then I do think a reverse proxy is the way to go.
