With a reverse proxy there's no need for hoops unless you add some authentication mechanism on top of that. I use reverse proxies for several things so that they flow through filtering like crowdsec or fail2ban. It just routes the single port to the device on question as is. The idea is to make it indistinguishable from a fully exposed port to the user. Just have to make sure whatever system runs the reverse proxy is secured. I always make sure that nothing significant is on the system that is exposed to the internet other than the reverse proxy server and all other ports are closed internally and externally. Ideally a device that has multiple Ethernet ports works well so you can keep an ssh port open on the internally facing ethernet port for troubleshooting. Nice if they are 2.5Gbit or 10Gbit ports, too, since they route a lot of traffic. But not needed.

Yubikeys work great for me for 2FA or passwordless auth. NFC and USB interfaces. Very secure. Pretty durable, though USB-C is inherently less durable due to the size and complexity than the USB-A footprint. But I've never had an issue with mine in my pocket or purse right with my keys. But if you bend it while it's inserted in something it can be an issue.

It's easier to start conversations but more difficult to end them when you appear femme in my experience. Depends on your intentions, sexuality, if you "pass", and the type of bar of course. So I can't give specific advice, but I am AuDHD, so I definitely get the trouble with social etiquette, but especially when switching gender roles after learning the other side my whole life.

I don't go to bars often, but only go to ones in progressive areas like the city I live in and rarely dive bars or "singles bars". So, it's rare for me to have to deal with aggressive or malicious men that most women have to deal with in bars or anti-trans sentiments. Of course #notallmen, but when you take on the role of a woman in public you of course face the much higher threat against us than male-appearing people do, which is more just a threat of physical violence rather than drugging, rape, torture, and murder that women need to prepare for. Just know to protect your drinks, finish a drink before going to the bathroom or give it to a bartender to put behind the bar, etc. Find out ahead of time if the bar has any other safety tips that they are trained to watch for, especially in "singles bars". They're also sometimes posted in women's restrooms as well. And don't open a tab in case you need to leave in a hurry. Pay for each drink separately. Also, knowing how to shut down a conversion is a good skill. The male role is to approach which sometimes leads to frustration and aggression, and the female role is to fend off such aggression or accept welcome advances. Sucks that the society works that way, but it is what it is. Though, fortunately or unfortunately, for us neurodivergents we often actually give off that shutdown signal by accident anyway as we're conditioned to be more concise with answers. Hard habit to break. Anyway, lots of those kinds of tips on safety are the place to start if you've never been to a bar as a woman. Safety first. And of your area is not safe for trans-women, I can't help as much with that as I avoid bars at all costs in those areas, but not all of us are privileged to live in progressive places.

With that out of the way, really the best way to get people to talk to you in a bar is to appear friendly. Sit at the bar rather than a table, if possible. Arrive earlier if bar space is often full. Be sure to have a smile at all times and make eye contact with people close to you if you feel like you might want to talk to them at some point. Try to avoid closed body language like crossing your arms or hovering over and thus looking down at the bar/your drink (but keep it in view as mentioned in the safety stuff). It can be more difficult if you're taller. If someone starts to sits next to you, look up at them and if they look at you, smile and say hi or even better, use some open ended greetings like "hey, how's it going?". Being a woman and being friendly generally makes people less on guard than as a man or if you aren't smiling. And basic small talk skills like answering questions with answers that give a little information and/or end in a question will keep the conversation going a lot of the time if that's what they're also looking for. And as I mentioned don't use short concise answers that you might be used to giving as ND masking as that doesn't allow for conversation to flow. I mean don't info-dump, at least not at first, but show interest by not using simple positive/negative replies.

Anyway, it's really not that bad and I find I enjoy it way more as a woman. But I enjoy a lot of social things a lot more as a woman. LOL. Be friendly, be safe, talk, smile, stay away from politics or negative subjects, at least at first, and remember that if your fuck up, it's ok, you'll probably never see that person again, especially if you live in a decent sized city, but it's also a reason I avoid dive bars other than the sometimes conservative vibes, since they often have a lot more regulars, and I usually am not looking to become a regular. 😁

All of this might be regional as well. I live in the US, so if you don't then etiquette might be different, but overall I tried to keep it relatively universal socializing advice. If there's something in particular that you are concerned about, I can try to answer, but again I'm not a big bar person anymore and I was male appearing when I used to visit more, so my knowledge might be hit or miss. Lol

I avoid relying on it too much and don't make any especially custom configurations. I honestly don't like it. But the alternatives just never really seemed much better, so I use it by default. If there were a truly good replacement with good documentation and examples, I'd adopt it.

Copyright hasn't benefitted creators in centuries, it's for publishers who then gatekeep the money from the vast majority of creators.

But even then it was never really meant to be a "welfare system" for creators, but a way to incentivize creators to keep creating by allowing them a short term boost in income while they create the next thing. Create one popular thing and never have to create again as well as your kids and grandkids never having to contribute to society was never meant to be the point.

I mentioned in the other reply that I was thinking more on military grade fuels since that's where my knowledge is from, but even those aren't really good examples. Better would have been pure hydrogen or "rocket" fuels used in the space industry or similar. But that's wasn't meant to be the point.

I don't want to get into guns, that's a special case in the US due to money in politics.

But, ok, yeah "jet fuel" I was thinking more of military jet fuels, I was in the Navy for a while and never in the aviation industry. Though even they don't approach the energy density and instability a reactor would have. Maybe I should have said "rocket fuel" or even pure hydrogen. Anyway, point is cars could use fuels that are more energy dense, but even missiles don't use the most energy dense fuel available because there's a need to balance stability and potential for explosions with energy density.

A miniaturized fission reactor like I mentioned or even more, a miniaturized fusion reactor like in Ironman, would have problems if sold unregulated, both in accidents as well as malicious use as a weapon.

Also, it's good to note, that producing that much power in a small device would mean that device is very, very volatile. There was some research I read about a long time ago to design a small nuclear fission device that would ideally replace batteries with a much more long lasting energy cell that also would greatly increase output wattage. Besides the obvious miniaturization issues, the other problem was that if that much energy is release all at once, such as from a drop or being in a fire or something else catastrophic, the explosion it would create would be significant and do a lot more damage than any battery not to mention the heavy shielding itself as shrapnel would be way more destructive than the explosion alone.

Take that and then think about people who are likely to use these things as weapons and you can't really sell that kind of thing commercially. This is one reason that for example, gasoline is not more energy dense which would make it way more efficient. Imagine if gasoline was as energy dense as jet fuel. It would mean way smaller fuel tanks and thus significantly less weight both of the tank and the fuel and thus more efficient cars. But the danger in widely selling jet fuel to consumers is significant.

The more confusing thing I've had to explain to too many developers is that it's not a directory regardless of what it looks like on the AWS website view. It's a "prefix" meaning the entire thing, including the slashes, is just part of the filename, there is no real structure inside a bucket. So there's no such thing as relative paths to search for things. When you call the list objects function with a prefix it's the same as doing a "starts with" on a string. You can't give it a partial "path" relative to another object that appears to be in another "folder".

This would be the 3rd time since I've been using it that it has broken compatibility with Vaultwarden, but Vaultwarden always fixes it pretty quickly. But usually browser plugins end up updating before I get around to updating Vaultwarden.

Yeah it has both onetime and subscription. I got the one time for around $15.

And yeah the app is available in multiple places. For Android, I get it from a custom Fdroid repo but Obtanium would work as well. I use that for a few apps.

Yes they can both be used at the same time, though KeyPass stuff is new and beta. I've never used it.

There is both a subscription model and a one time payment model. I bought it with the one-time payment. I believe it was $15. But don't quote me.
