Only if you need (cheap) port-forwarding.
I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.
I am also dumb and worthless.
My laptop is HP 255 G7 running Manjaro and Linux Mint.
I own RTL-SDRv3 and RSP1 clone.
SDF Unix shell username: user224
Only if you need (cheap) port-forwarding.
I also like the idea of ptunnel
Ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies.
I feel like NGINX is simplest to configure. And it’s in the repos already, so I don’t see the advantage here.
Easy to do redirects, directory listings, serving a static website, setting mime types of specific files, basic user authentication, using HTTPS, using it as reverse proxy, limiting request types, limiting bandwidth, and making the directory listings far nicer with fancyindex module. That’s all I need and it’s pretty simple to do with NGINX. I don’t know what the Python HTTP server does, nor how to use.
Because… I can.
And it’s portable.
Termux on Android.
I’ve got some videos on my phone I might want to watch on random computers, so I serve them up with NGINX. I’ve got wget-created mirrors of some old websites on my phone, so I serve them up with NGINX. Other files I may want to move out from my phone to untrusted computers on the network can too be served up simply by NGINX.
I’ve got the full Wikipedia zim file from Kiwix on my Micro SD card, so I run kiwix-serve (behind NGINX).
I’ve got all the music on my phone, naturally the phone is then running my Navidrome server (behind NGINX).
Of course, I may want to manage this from a computer, so it’s running SSH server.
My phone is always connected to VPN and uses NextDNS, naturally I may want to use this with other computers, but I can’t install software to computers I don’t own (I mean, I can, but … it would be disliked), naturally it is then running Tiniproxy HTTP proxy server.
Some desktop GUI apps can be useful on a phone too. noaa-apt, Kid3, Audacity, desktop Firefox, Handbrake because I am too dumb for ffmpeg, so I run XFCE DE on it. Naturally, I can access it from a computer (I know) too, after all it’s accessed via a VNC server.
Am I stupid enough to expose something using HTTP protocol running on my phone to the internet? Of course I am! I can use cloudflared.
Do I want to encrypt a file? I can use GPG.
Do I want to create a compressed archive? I’ve got TAr and GZip.
Do I want to browse Gopher? I’ve got Lynx.
SSH or telnet somewhere? The clients are there.
Well, why don’t you just try NextDNS? Don’t like signing up to try a service? You don’t have to. Go to nextdns.io, click “Try it now” and there you go. No account required for 7 days.
You don’t need to add domains yourself, you just choose from existing blocklists they provide. Each have some description, just like all the settings.
Alternatively, Mullvad freely provides DNS with some blocking too, but you can’t edit anything.
I just wish Mull (and Tor on Android for that regards) did what desktop Tor and Mullvad browser (I know the devs are different) do with specific window sizes to remove unique window resolutions.
Currently both Android Tor and Mull lead to a unique per-device fingerprint.
I’ve had a teacher in elementary school scream at me for doing so. (Nesting parentheses is forbidden. [You are supposed to use brackets.])
How long has it been? It’s just a 502, happens sometimes.
Here’s the thing…it’s completely fake and has been circling the internet since 2017.

Bank and government website behind Cloudflare???
Fuck, I just checked, my bank is also behind Cloudflare, what the fuck…
I kind of assumed a bank wouldn’t put another company with ability to view all transferred data between customers and themselves.
How much of the internet is not behind CF?
I should probably try blocking their IPs and see what will still work.
But it also works with touchscreen taps, and randomizing tap position, duration, and delay is fairly simple.
I prefer optical media if possible. Should survive a few decades, assuming good quality discs.
But I’d much rather use LTO tape if it wasn’t so expensive to get the drive.
But from experience, hams are usually enthusiastic to explain anything related you might be interested in
Check Sweet Home 3D for visualizations. Though it’s probably not what you’re looking for.
I haven’t yet gotten a car, nor do I plan to.
CyberTruck X(ylem).
Nah, stick to VPNs. Don’t overload Tor with pirate media. Tor network isn’t meant for large data transfers like that.
OK, I’ll get stoned for saying this, but I’d welcome it if done properly.
It’s a large user base, lots of niche communities.
The more complicated part would be moderation, as that’s already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.
As far as I know they don’t have audits done, so who knows about the logging. Both IVPN and Mullvad pass those. Could still be fine though, but I’d rather trust Mullvad or IVPN.
