Ah yes, the good old “testing in production” 😆

Good luck!

… and use a name where the acronym also is WP.

“King regards” instead of “Kind regards”.

I’m not going to search further to find the original discussion, but another user in this thread mentions seeing talk of this about a year ago.

There were plenty of those threads and discussions happening during the past few years. This is a constant topic that came up in the forums and sometimes GitHub over and over again.

It initially was that. Also the name wasn’t meant to stick around forever.

But, out of a sudden, between updates, not even the new website URLs ready?

I don’t follow Minetest development that closely anymore, but last time I checked there were no issues or pull requests on their GitHub, nor something official regarding a name change in the forums.

This feels like there are just a bunch of people haphazardly deciding there is a new name now.

It IS a terrible name. But it also is an over one decade old brand.

It will be hard to propagate the new name and have it as recognizable as “Minetest”.

Luh-Anti?

Also luanti.net (which would be the most logical step to use that address because of the same TLD).

Why isn’t something like this done prior to announcing the new name …

Is this an out-of-season April Fools’ joke?

That’s a cute idea but it completely ignores that it isn’t 2005 anymore. Algorithms are good enough to detect that.

Startup times getting down below 20s definitely helps with this.

Absolutely. SSDs, systemd, and recent kernels definitely help. From the moment the EFI hands over to the kernel, my ca. 9 years old system is ready for login 3 seconds later.

What’s your typical “stand-by” mode for your computer when you’re not using it?

Off.

Ideally I’d like to create a simple wiki for creative projects […] and give others editing access […] I’m moderately tech savvy

Codeberg allows to create wikis, even if this isn’t their main feature.

The best thing: It is Git-based. So you have a regular Git repository for your wiki and you don’t need to learn a new workflow. You can also edit pages in the browser. Permissions are a no-brainer of course. For editing pages, Markdown is used, so you don’t even need to learn a new markup language.

Since Codeberg is an open source platform run by a non-profit association all and everything is free to use.

And if you ever want to migrate to somewhere else, just git pull your wiki and you’re good to go.

Loss of control of this data would be catastrophic, so I took its security very seriously.

Ask yourself: “If my current system is unavailable: How screwed am I?”

If the answer is anything less than “Not screwed at all!”, then it is time for a backup - regardless of what system you’re using or plan to use.

I just checked their FAQ. They have information about SSH, SMB, RDP, connecting private networks (VPN), etc. available. I did not dig deeper regarding specific ports, though.

You could always use a reverse proxy on your side just accepting port 443 connections (https) and forwarding to a specific docker container using a specific port without the outside world even knowing.

I never tried it personally but I assume you’re pretty save.

Here’s how it works:

The Tunnel daemon creates an encrypted tunnel between your origin web server and Cloudflare’s nearest data center, all without opening any public inbound ports.

After locking down all origin server ports and protocols using your firewall, any requests on HTTP/S ports are dropped, including volumetric DDoS attacks. Data breach attempts — such as snooping of data in transit or brute force login attacks — are blocked entirely.

At all stages I want to be left alone and just do what I’m paid for.

… for a small web server.

It’s not just a small web server. It’s a dedicated server with full root access and 24/7 direct hardware access without any extra costs.
