Hm, very interesting.
So, in contrast to the public(?) (mis?)conception that #autistic people have problems reading situations, you actually excel at them, sort of like predicting them?
(Thinking of that Tom Cruise movie in my pinned toots...)
Put my friendica installation on a VLAN. It made accessing it locally ... interesting.
So I can access it from outside. Fine.
But if I try to access it internally, the traffic just gets dropped. There's no firewall rule to handle the forward via external IP address loopback.
So I set up a forward, and of course, that was a stupid thing to do. Every other https service in the world suddenly and unceremoniously disappears.
So I change the forward to only be something looking to loopback via my external IP.
But the external IP is dynamic. The router will update the dyndns record, but it will not update its own firewall rule. I'd have to do it manually every time it changed. Very far from ideal.
But inspiration struck! I have my own DNS server! (pihole).
As of now, thegoatery.dyndns.org from within my internal network resolves to the IP address of the friendica box on the VLAN.
Done.

Ah! A protocol.
Ok.
Having different apps on different types of devices, a disadvantage, as most have elderly family members, maybe living in a distant location.
Sounds interesting.
So, the drawback of #Signal vs. #XMPP based apps is that it uses #Google's API and thus is more vulnerable to attack, correct?
@silverwizard ooh, interesting.
So US, Iran, Korea(s?) and China can celebrate #pieday
@JackElephant I've found posting here is great for discussion, not (perhaps obviously) as good for visibility and driving traffic.
On a per-post basis, I am picking up followers here faster than I ever did on the other site, which I find interesting.
So for now I do think it's worth posting on both sites for me, but I sort of wish that wasn't the case.
