I don’t think you even need to configure the email.

If I recall correctly emails are optional for Let’s Encrypt but Caddy are partnered with ZeroSSL who do require emails so you’re encouraged to provide one.

Are you under the impression the UK moved continents?

You have entirely misunderstood this exploit.

They’re busy reposting a chain letter on Facebook that claims to exempt them from an upcoming T&Cs change

I kind of disagree that $130 is a lot of money.

As developers we should value our time and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to charge $130 for an hour of a .NET developers time, therefore I personally don’t have an issue with paying $130 per year for a tool that has proven itself useful.

While I’ve never used it myself I am aware of it and looking at if this stat (https://github.com/fluentassertions/fluentassertions/network/dependents) is to believed then there are well over 100,000 projects on GitHub alone all of whom have benefit from the author’s free labour.

I really think we need to see a revolution in how open source projects are funded. Personally, I’d love to transition to a career developing open source tools but I can’t justify it because whether you charge $1 or $130 people will always complain.

That’s IDE licence territory.

I know what you mean but I also think we’re very fortunate for the value for money we get from IDEs.

Every discussion I’ve seen about this so far has been so negative.

I hope Lemmy with its very left wing audience might have a more compassionate approach around the desire for open source developers to be compensated for their work.

Or at the very least that companies profiting from open source work start to pay back to those contributors

Written in bash?! Superb effort but I can’t help wondering why you’d choose bash?

Can you really take a source seriously when it presents every statement so emotionally and dramatically

Which everyone will ignore.

Caddy with the cloudflare module makes TLS with DNS verification insanely simple

Do websites come under the remit of self hosting?

Personally I host static websites with GitHub, cloudfront, netlify, onrender etc. Trivial to setup, more reliable and better cdn distribution. Anything dynamic lives in a data center rather than a self host setup.

Fair, but you were asking how people approach security for self hosted solutions and I guess I’m challenging why anything needs to be public. Self hosting is typically for your own services which can usually be hidden behind a VPN.

The exception I guess is email, but I never understand why people attempt self hosted mail servers

Don’t expose anything publicly, instead setup wireguard for every VM. Connect your phone, PC etc to the VPN so you have full access without publicly exposing anything.

You may have touched on this but your post was way too long so I only read the headings

Why do so many projects ignore semantic versioning? It’s so much easier to comprehend changes when versions are major, minor or patch

You’re a very strange person.

No, neither of us need to do anything.

Dude, you’re the one asserting that healthcare costs will rise due to increased security requirements.

I don’t quite follow why the onus is on me to backup my retort.

please show me.

Nah, I’m good. Clearly our opinions differ. It’s of no interest to me to collate a bunch of sources just for you to dismiss in bad faith.

Feel free to find sources to support your own argument though if you like.

If they could squeeze out an extra dollar then they would already do so. They don’t need to justify it as “increased security costs”.

Isn’t it always said that jurys are made up of people not smart enough to get out of jury duty.
