True, but it's only the sending emails and I don't have to worry about getting my ISP to set PTR records just to pass spam filters. Your domain's MX records still point to your server.

Oracle Cloud has their Email Delivery service, which is basically just a straight SMTP proxy, and it's free. I believe proxies still need to be configured as a sender in SPF and have their own DKIM signing key, but Oracle will still send without them, although wildcard senders will require them.

Usually if they're all managed switches, you can look at the MAC table and map things out that way.

For Australians, CallTrace seems pretty good, it's one of the neat uses of LLMs where it will call numbers up and ask what business they are from. Plus I find it hilarious when 2 AIs start talking to each other.

Also,

it doesn’t run some major software, such as Adobe Creative Cloud or Microsoft 365 desktop apps.

I don't use it, but I've heard Adobe CC can work now. Microsoft Office also still works for me with CrossOver, although they've just given up on support for it. Sure, these are much more nitpick things, but I think the author could've at least done some research.

Damn, you didn't even need to fake it, it's already happening: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260401074509.1897527-1-dwmw2@infradead.org/

Sure it's still just a joke, but there is a follow up:

The date notwithstanding, I do actually think we should do most of this for real.

I think thanks.dev can do this, it's more designed around donating to dependencies of your own projects, but you can manually specify other projects.

Currently I'm working on whatports.work in between my studies, basically its an outgoing port tester so that users can test their network's firewall rules. It's similar to portquiz.net, except it has a JS port check, UDP and IPv6 support, and hopefully HTTPS soon.

I've also thought about getting an ASN and doing some anycast stuff. Especially since it's hosted in Sydney currently, which adds a bunch of latency for anyone not in Australia. Also there's a lot of port scan bots, and the server is doing its best to respond to all of them, with some rate limiting of course, but it'll be good to distribute the load anyway.

I don't remember which one I specifically used, but theres plenty that show when you DDG "mtls nginx". There's probably others specific to other reverse proxies too.

I've been preferring mTLS recently. I still use a VPN for management, SMB/NFS, and anything important. But I use mTLS for web services that I'd like to access without having a VPN active all the time. Although, if your web service had a mobile app, usually they don't play nicely with mTLS, so a VPN would be required for me, but Home Assistant and TrilliumDroid do have mTLS support.

FYI, "I don't care about cookies" is owned by Avast, and I can't even find the official source code anymore.
