Thank you for the link! I’ll check those out.

Haha. Next time we’ll make a plain cheesecake.

I’ve been using these VGO gloves from Amazon. They’re the best I’ve found so far, but that’s not an endorsement from me, more the best of a bunch of crappy choices.

I got pretty upset when I took a chance on a $25 pair of what were supposed to be heavy duty Milwaukee work gloves that didn’t last a week.

I’d be interested in those Mechanix gloves if you don’t mind sharing a link

Yeah, in the past it’s been really frustrating. There was one time I couldn’t log in no matter what I tried. I hadn’t updated the NPM container or anything. It just shit the bed. At the time I wasn’t confident enough to switch away from NPM. I had to completely rebuild my proxy setup. Deleted the NPM container and persistent data, spun up a brand new container, then set back up all of my reverse proxies.

That was the last time I’ve had a problem with NPM, but I also don’t really trust it anymore. I’ve stuck with it due to momentum, but I’m always worried about it breaking for no reason.

Probably going to make this a weekend project soon.

I think I’m gonna take a much more serious look at caddy.

That’s really nice. Dang. I’m going to take a serious look at caddy. NPM has been working without issues lately, but I’m not looking forward to the next time it breaks on me.

Fair point. Even hermiting in the woods isn’t perfect.

This. You can’t have perfect privacy/security without going hermit living in the woods off grid. You have to make your compromises and do what is best for you to protect yourself and your data as much as you’re comfortable and willing to do.

Banger. Love this song

Agree. So far when I’ve had abnormal stuff it’s been easy enough to add the custom config in NPM, but that super simple caddy config looks really nice

I like NPM, but on a few occasions over the years I’ve used it it has broken irreparably for no reason. There have been times where I couldn’t log in with my credentials, and times when I couldn’t generate SSL certs. Over the last year or so it’s been really solid but there were a couple times I was ready to chuck NPM out the window.

Why do I use NPM, or why do I consider switching to caddy?

I’ve been using nginx proxy manager for years on my server, and it’s great, but occasionally I give caddy the side eye and think about switching.

They never are. I go through work gloces at a rate of about a pair every three-ish week, and what drives me bomkers is that it’s nearly impossible to find a pair of work gloves that doesn’t have the stupid touchscreen pads that don’t even last a day. Gloves without the pads are either too bulky or too thin/would last about a day altogether.

I don’t need the touch pad tips, and what I can’t stand is the slippery fabric underneath the grippy touchpad surface that ruins my ability to grip things.

That’s fair. I suppose people will have their pitchforks and will pile on anything at this point

Excellent! I’m glad it worked for you. :)

Agree. I’d be nervous about it too. Mullenweg seems pretty unhinged at this point.

You’re not wrong. Again, my logic for that the crazy person is on the warpath towards other hosting companies. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn’t update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.

Mullenweg isn’t going to do that to his own company. I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and I would steer clear of wordpress.com. My previous comment pointing towards .com is dumb.

Mullenweg owns wordpress.com. It’s arguably the only safe place to host WordPress since it’s his company and while he seems willing to burn all goodwill down to the ground for wordpress open source, hes (probably) not going to burn his own company and cash cow to the ground.

I mean, it’s not a great option, and I may be stupid for saying that, but that was my reasoning for saying so.

TBH, I’d just host it myself if I was going to do it.
