You are confusing morality and copyright with user privacy.

You also failed to access if you’ve actually tried the search engine that you are no quick to spit nonsense about.

Privacy company offers privacy focused LLMs for users that would’ve otherwise paid for ChatGPT. Unbelievable

Did you actually ever try Kagi or do you just want to spit uninformed delusions?

You’d be surprised

I explained why. Misconfiguration and caching.

You would also need to clear your device’s DNS cache.

It’s the Cypherpunk’s Manifesto all over again.

Not two A records. From what I understand, OP has an A record pointing to their public IP address (which Nginx is listening on behind a NAT). Then, on the local network, OP uses their own DNS server to ignore that entry and instead always serve the local IP when a host on the LAN queries it.

Aside from OP’s devices potentially using a different DNS server (I was only able to solve it for my stock Android by dropping outgoing DNS in my firewall), this solution is a nightmare for roaming devices like mobile phones. Such a device might cache the DNS answer while on LAN or WAN respectively and then try to continue using that address when the device moves to the other network segment.

These are the most likely scenarios in my opinion - OP’s devices are ignoring the hacky DNS rewrite (either due to using a different DNS server or due to caching) and try to access the server via the public IP. This is supported by the connection timeout, which is exactly what you would see when your gateway doesn’t do loopback.

TCP over IP as a protocol is an “open standard”. Network implementations are nearly always strictly proprietary.

The “protocols” behind browsers are public. HTML, CSS, and ECMAScript are all well defined on sites like the Mozilla documentation. You are free to implement your own browser that follows these standards.

Never point your DNS at two different IP addresses like this. It will only cause you pain and unexpected behaviour.

What you are experiencing is solved by so-called “NAT reflection” or “NAT loopback”. It’s a setting that - in the optimal case - you should just be able to activate on the appropriate interface on your gateway.

If you do not have that setting or do not have access to the edge router, but only some intermediate router, you can do a nasty hack. You can point static routes to your public IP address to point at your local IP address instead. In that case, you also need to tell your server to accept packets with your public IP address as the destination.

The graph makes no sense. Did a generative AI make it.

One Luigi a day, keeps the Spez away.

Not sure if I got the update yet, but I’m banning my printer from accessing the internet right now.

You can still build it yourself.

You’re right, I wasn’t thinking about the android app when writing this.

Ale we talking about the same thing?

Yeah, works nice as long as you have a server to host it on.

The only annoyance is that it’s not very space efficient and you have to rebuild your database like twice a year to bring the size back down. It might be not that bad depending on what you do. I create above thousand new lines of notes with a lot of pictures every day and I’m at around 2GB after rebuilding the database. I expect it to go up to like 6GB biyearly, but, again, clicking on the rebuild button deals with that.

Have you seen the community-made self hosted sync plugin?

There in fact are FOSS alternatives like Joplin. Personally, I actually switched from Joplin to Obsidian due to a larger community (and therefore community-driven plugins) and overall a more polished UX. That being said, I have the security of switching back if Obsidian ever becomes evil or unusable.

Another aspect is that the entire source code is technically viewable (partially obfuscated) since it’s a web app. Having written plugins for Obsidian, you’re very much interacting with the source code itself. Feels like open source with extra steps and I wish one day they will finally make the switch to true FOSS.

In my mind I excused it ask having low but constant volume of users.

The graphs are relative to each medium. You can’t directly compare the popularity of different apps from this image.

Edit: Here you can compare them to each other yourself:

You can see that 100% of one app in this post doesn’t equal 100% of another app.
