my ublock origin is taking out google tag manager and a couple other requests on that page... I did try it with ublock turned off, and it was still broken..
Whoah, apparently if you sit on the page for 30 seconds or so, it will eventually load??
Maybe they have rate limited the "free version" of the docs.
LOL -- I have long been suspicious that caddy's documentation is intentionally terrible and impossible to use in order to funnel more money into their premium support.
Now their documentation is completely gone: https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/
😂 I find this hilarious, even though I know its probably just a mistake
You are getting spam signup requests from real people? How do you know it's real people and not bots, if you don't mind me asking? I used to have open signup on my old gogs instance and I got hundreds of signups, but none of those users ever did anything. I think they were all bots as far as I could tell.
I was hoping to make a works-without-login version of gitea one day, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with moderation at least for a while (until the gitea server gets much more popular) because the PoW Captcha (https://git.sequentialread.com/forest/pow-captcha) would filter out the bots, and right now I don't think anyone cares about my git server, let alone knows that it exists 😞
I just submitted my User Operated Internet grant application to NLNet for Greenhouse 🤞🤞 With any luck I can even offer good money to developers interested in helping out soon.
Today I heard from @handle that the next NLNet grant application deadline is in 4 days -- I also learned that this year they have a new category called "User Operated Internet". I got really excited about this because the last time I applied to the NLNet grant program, there wasn't really a good category for my project to fit under. But "User Operated Internet" is perfect!

I spent today throwing up a rough draft of a home page for my project. In the past I have called it Greenhouse, but I am thinking now I'm going to change the name to Server Garden, because the original thing that was going to be called Server Garden is now on hiatus.
Please take a look and let me know what you think! I know it has tons of issues, but I'm still interested to hear what folks think about it:
Whoops, sorry, a bit of a delay getting the stream started today, I didn't test it before going live 💀 it should be working now
My friend once said: A lot of what looks “whoa how did you do that?!” comes down to “sat down and did all the 500 steps, one by one”.
Want to watch me slowly do steps one at a time? I'm trying to get back to streaming my work regularly. Live now working on making email servers radically easier to self-host! https://stream.sequentialread.com

Stop by and say hi!
It would be nice to have more ips, like with IPV6, but that **ON ITS OWN** is not going to make it easier...
Er, I should say, impossible without "external help" for routing/bandwidth.
Internet protocol is all about routing and transferring, it says nothing for authenticity or integrity so the question of who owns it is only relevant when it comes to gatekeeping and rent-seeking routability... By my estimation, its already possible to use software to defeat this routability rent-seeking as long as the protocols you are using have been updated since the 80s and 90s (they are wrapped in TLS OR they can tolerate alternative ports).
Honestly, usability/ease of use/maintainability is the primary problem that potential server operators face. It would be nice to have more ips, like with IPV6, but that's not going to make it easier for folks to host servers safely and reliably. How do you expect my mother to understand both numbers AND letters for her server's address!? 😲😲
IMO its more scary that mobile networks (most internet users) tend to employ symmetric NAT & most mobile device computing is purely consumption oriented as a result, making mobile production impossible.
stream continues today!
@f0x Thats really cool, I wanna try out gotosocial soon with the svelte-based standalone UI, i forgot the name of it.
