I wish Lemmy was able to have emoji reactions to comments just so I could react with a horrified face to this comment.

In lieu of that, I’ll just have to put it here: 😱

Yeah, that’s … that’s a problem. In that situation though, without IPv6 there really isn’t a good solution.

As long as your IP address hasn’t changed any time recently, it will likely have propagated to other DNS providers and you still ought to be able to reach home with the domain name.

It’s almost certainly related to AWS.

Get a dynamic DNS from afraid.org, they’re great. That’ll make it so you can always find your home network without needing to write down your IP address (especially frustrating if it changes).

Then run a VPN server, like OpenVPN, on a computer that is always on and redirect the VPN connection port from your router to the VPN server. If you don’t know how to get into your router’s admin console, LEARN HOW! This is critical to maintaining home network security even if you aren’t running servers.

It’s not easy, but it’s way, WAY more robust than depending on a 3rd party to keep your info (except for afraid.org and they practically NEVER go down).

There’s a utility called ‘furmark’ that’ll fix that for you…

They utilize these tools because they have no morals. They are willing to lie and cheat their way into whatever they want.

The left does not have that advantage. We don’t want to lie, we don’t want to cheat, we want the liars and cheaters to be removed from power. Lying harder isn’t going to work for us because unlike the right, we will call out our own for it.

That’s what thimbles are for, my dude.
