ELI5 Cloudflare Tunnel
  • Currently I don’t have an auth service sitting in front of my other services, it’s just whatever auth is built into each app and saved passwords.

    That said, I’ve deployed Authentik at a workplace and really enjoyed working with it, using it for SSO for a variety of services. I’ll implement it on my own platform soon.

  • ELI5 Cloudflare Tunnel
  • Here’s how I do it: https://blog.lchapman.dev/self-hosting-foundations/

    Note: blog isn’t monetised, I just write things up to make them easier to share with people.

    Basically, I use a cloud VM as a gateway and reverse proxy to my services which are accessible via VPN. It’s not free, but it’s pretty cheap.

    I have a friend who is using Cloudflare for this. He has a domain and he can access his services at domain.tld:port. Not bad, and it’s free. He could have his tunnel pointed at Caddy like I do and use subdomains, but he hasn’t got that far yet.

    I prefer my method but both seem to get the basic functionality working.

  • What is the long-term storage plan for Lemmy instances?
  • The real takeaway here is that we are all bad at storing the kind of knowledge you’ll find in a troubleshooting post.

    Perhaps there can be a Lemmy instance that scrapes and mirrors troubleshooting posts across other instances.

  • High Frequency Traders want to start using High Frequency radio for financial data
  • 1800 symbols per second is the benchmark for shortwave data transmission.

    Not sure exactly how useful that would be, but the latency is low: 0.01 seconds to cross the width of the USA.

    A round trip packet from NY to SF takes 0.05 seconds, a fifth of the speed. Fibre is quick, but not as quick as radio.

    There’s about 1400 bytes usable in a TCP packet, versus the 1800 symbols per second over shortwave. Lots of TCP packets can be exchanged per second.

    I don’t see the value proposition.
