Not the OP but it doesn’t read as satire to me

Hey! Another SDF user in the wild, what’s up!

I don’t have a mustache, so maybe?

omg another rufus!

Living Room-Ba. Guess which room the charging base is in

Have you reached out to your ISP to see if they can give you a dynamic public IP? I recently swapped to a new ISP that was using CGNAT but after contacting their support team with my use case, they were happy to set me up with a public IP so I could continue my self-hosting.

Full-stack dev here, not necessarily in answer to OP’s question, but in my experience it is a pretty standard practice that when you log in to a service, the web page sends your unhashed creds to the server, where your password is then hashed and compared to the stored hash. Via HTTPS/TLS/SSL, this is a reasonably secure practice since the creds are still encrypted while in transport. Hashing is a computationally expensive process that (before the advent of WASM) wasn’t really feasible to do on the client side.

I was using Gentoo for a while, but I kept having issues with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, so I set up a Win10 VM with GPU passthrough.

I actually just switched to NixOS, haven’t had a chance to get my games set up just yet but I am excited for the number of people I have seen have success with it. Setting up gaming is next on my list.

OP in a couple of days

I actually did this for a few months until I saved up enough for a decent dedicated firewall appliance. Got a cheap PCIe 2x1GB NIC off Amazon and passed it directly to an OPNsense VM.

Honestly, it wasn’t that bad. The only downside is that that Proxmox server was just an old repurposed desktop PC that was super underpowered, so the VM only had like 2GB of RAM and that ended up being a bit of a bottleneck under load.
