    I believe most (all?) registrars should let you give them a global DNS server, at which point your domain should be resolvable globally. Whether it’s reachable isn’t at the registration level, it’s at the DNS level. The blog author’s comment confuses me. Maybe they mean like having a TLD that matches each country with users? Seems not worth it.

    You can get a domain for like $10 a year from many places. The national registrar I looked up was like $7 a year (Brazil).


  • There’s like two people’s devices behind my router. The amount of benefit I get to hiding which device is sending traffic is pretty meaningless. And all my user devices are using privacy extensions anyway.

    I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to prevent. Like if I have an iot device that doesn’t support privacy extensions, who am I making the tracking harder for by using ipv4? Anything the device talks to already is probably tracking via the device authenticating in the first place. And anybody in the middle doesn’t really learn much by knowing that a particular device is sending opaque traffic vs the house is sending opaque traffic.

    Big tech tracks us because we voluntarily login to their services. And they do so mainly to sell us ads. If you don’t want them tracking you, hiding IP doesn’t help much. Like don’t login to their services and block requests to their domains to prevent third party site integrations. If you need to use their services anyway, then you’re fundamentally screwed.


  • You only setup the wolf container and give it access to the docker socket to spawn more containers. Then when a user connects via moonlight, they choose an app via the UI, and it will spin up a container for that app with a virtual desktop just for them. Critically that virtual desktop will match whatever fps/resolution the client requests.

    It does require some knowledge about docker to get setup, like how mounts work (so you can have files shared into the containers, etc). But it’s pretty simple. You can basically just copy the docker compose file (or I use the podman quadlet file) and modify the paths where you want to save things and you’re good to go. If you want to share the game installations with your main computer’s steam, that’s a bit more work, but also not too much.

    There’s very good support on the project discord as well if you have questions/issues
