 hexa | probably because they thought it was funny | 13:36:30 |
 matthewcroughan | I had a mini mid-life crisis the other day trying to reverse proxy everything | 13:36:38 |
| matthewcroughan | then I realised this isn't possible | 13:36:41 |
| matthewcroughan | educate me why I should not be worried about letting everyone know my IP | 13:36:57 |
 @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | why not? | 13:37:15 |
| matthewcroughan | Take icecast for example, it cannot be reverse proxied effectively without great effort | 13:37:31 |
| matthewcroughan | it is simply not designed to be | 13:37:35 |
| matthewcroughan | therefore, the simplest, easiest and most effective setup, is to not | 13:37:43 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | do you want your icecast instance to be public? | 13:38:22 |
| matthewcroughan | Yeah | 13:38:29 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | otherwise you could just use tailscale or nebula or something like that | 13:38:55 |
| matthewcroughan | I have a nice connection somewhere else that I would rather have used, but it's too complicated to proxy, so I figure it's best just to not give a fsck and just put my public IP into DNS | 13:38:57 |
| matthewcroughan | Cloudflare has created a mind virus that encourages people to think they can hide everything | 13:39:10 |
| matthewcroughan | I don't think this is possible or a healthy mindest on the internet, anymore | 13:39:17 |
| @n4ch723hr3r:nope.chat | you could also host it over tor or i2p xD | 13:39:32 |
