  • Im curious about your argument because this would justify not putting any rules at any time. No cigarettes for under age in shops (might attack a shop keeper), no alcohol in pubs (might attack a bartender), no fines for speeding (might attack cameras or police), no parking restrictions (might attack ticket wardens), etc.

    Maybe the threat of fines are not enough to change this behaviour (which I can understand in India after spending a lot of time there) so they are trying a novel approach. One thing Indian police will take more seriously is attacking a worker for applying the rules compared to risking your own life.



  • Feels a bit like the horse has already bolted. I am very against this move and also believe everyone should delete their Facebook accounts (I did so years ago and not missed anything). However, it feels like (a) it’s already happened so people are in these bubbles where the fact checks won’t help and (b) it feels like it’s mostly shared through WhatsApp groups where there is no content moderation.

    I really want to delete WhatsApp but all my family and friends use the groups, and just don’t care enough about this stuff to bother moving elsewhere. I only know one person who isn’t on it and have no groups of people not using it as their main form of communication within those groups.


  • Theres a lot of different things going on here although it sounds simple, you’re actually touching many different technologies. I started a few years ago to self host and it took me a while to get my head around these and still have issues so don’t worry too much!

    Im not familiar with caddy but the ports look wrong. It would be looking for 80 and 443 presumably on the docker host (right hand side / “RHS Ports”. You could use any ports on the left hand side (“LHS Ports”).

    The section “DOMAIN}:1443” might be telling caddy to be looking on port 1443 inside docker, which means the port need to be flipped around. The RHS Ports are what the service inside docker is looking to use (often these are set by the developer but they can be changed in settings, it’s easier to leave these as default and only change the LHS Ports). The LHS Ports are what you choose to expose on the actual server itself. https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-concepts/running-containers/publishing-ports/

    Theres no mention of the router settings so the problem might be there. Are you forwarding the right ports through? You would need to forward ports 80 and 443 to the LHS Ports you choose for caddy. These port forwards would also need to point to your servers internal address. (Search “<your router name> port forward settings”)

    What do you have on port 80 as I would recommend to change that to something else and have caddy on ports 80 and 443. I would also suggest trying nginx proxy manager which is available on docker, has a nice web interface to add reverse proxy’s, and can handle your SSL certificates (inc automatic renewals). This would replace caddy and would use ports 80 and 443 on your server. https://nginxproxymanager.com/

    Also, just to mention, your safest option is not to expose vaultwarden to the internet unless your very sure you need to and add other protections (firewalls, fail2ban etc). If it’s just you/a few people, look into using a VPN like tailscale (easiest but relies on external party) or Wireguard (fully yours to control but pretty complicated).

    You would still need an SSL cert but your can do this through DuckDNS using https://github.com/maksimstojkovic/docker-letsencrypt. You could also buy a cheap domain and never have to expose anything, as they would give you a certificate to download (cloudflare or porkbun are good - https://kb.porkbun.com/article/71-how-your-free-ssl-certificates-work) and you manually upload it to caddy or nginx proxy manager. the best option is to use nginx proxy manager or certbot to handle these as the certificates expire. You can set up “DNS challenge” in your SSL certificate manager which needs details from your DNS to obtain the SSL certificates on your behalf.

    If I was you, I would search for online guides and setup in this order: nginx proxy manager, SSL cert (buying your own cheap domain from cloudflare and setting up DNS challenge in nginx proxy manager), tailscale, then vaultwarden.

    As someone who used to cycle, walk or ride a bus across these bridges, please don’t blow them up. In fact, I think all the central London bridges have bus lanes, plenty of walking space and some have cycle lanes. Theres one bridge for people only. I know im taking this too seriously but it’s a very scary thought








  • I think most of the “underground”, at least the older lines are operated by TFL. The TFL also operates some of the “overground” lines as a franchise owner. This line runs on national rail lines out to Reading so maybe it if more like “overground” than “underground”. I thought this project would fall under TFL regardless so it is just a joke really.

    By the way, for national rail trains, private companies also own most of the rolling stock which the franchise owners lease. The whole British railway system is an absolute mess…

    Hopefully this works and you can see the compose file. I’ve put a few things in [square brackets] to hide some stuff, probably overly cautiously. I have an external network linked to NPM and in that, I use nextcloud-server for IP address and 80 for the port (it’s the inside container port, not 8080 on the system - that took me a long time to figure out!). Add a .env file with everything referenced in the compose file, then (hopefully!) Away you go



  • Not sure if it makes a difference and not quite your question but I’ve just switched away from nextcloud-aio to just having my own docker compose, so I have better control and know what’s going on more. I always found it funny and when installing on a new VPS decided to try. It was surprisingly straightforward and Ive been able to install everything I need.

    Let me know if my docker compose would help. I still need to add the backup solution but it’s going to be straightforward as well.





  • In the EU and UK, heavy regulation, especially of Visa and MasterCard, means the fees are actually lower than the costs of handling cash. Lots of businesses want only card transactions because it works out better for them and most people don’t carry any cash so that need to offer card payments, and so it makes even less sense to offer both methods. The only industries who like cash are likely trying some form of tax evasion.

    Cleverly, they banned businesses from charging any payment fees and suddenly, businesses negotiated and found suppliers offering low payment fees. We don’t have anything like these convenience fees for paying with cards over cheque that I hear about.

    Amex still charges higher fees so many places still don’t take those cards. The value of benefits (air miles, cashback) have gone down significantly but in reality, it was essentially transferring wealth from the poor (who could never get these cards) to the rich, through these fees, so works out better overall.

    The banks here advertise that they help everyone get bank accounts and social benefits are paid into bank accounts so I assume everyone is able to get an account. However, I do wonder if some people, especially the homeless, slip through the cracks.
