Earlier I was about to start the nginx + certbot dance, but then I decided I can’t be bothered and just installed Caddy!
Caddy does HTTPS certificate management in an entirely automatic way. No need to integrate two separate pieces of software, you just write something like:
https://caddy.example.net {
root /srv/caddy.example.net
file_server
}
…done! Or maybe you want to reverse-proxy to a Go service? Add:
handle /* {
reverse_proxy /* http://localhost:2080
}
done! 😍 #golang #caddy

Wow, apparently Python virtualenvs can break when you update your system:
zsh: /home/michael/src/pretix/env/bin/pip3: bad interpreter: /home/michael/src/pretix/env/bin/python3.11: no such file or directory
The env/bin/python3.11 symlink points to /usr/bin/python3.11, which no longer exists (it’s now python3.12).
Apparently the --copies flag is available to prevent this, but not enabled by default.

Thanks, I wasn’t really sure how to read the message. It came across as “your responses are unjustified”, so I wanted to elaborate a bit to see if that was really what [@scy](https://chaos.social/@scy) meant…

I’m mostly extrapolating from the situation with music streaming and the lack of interop between AirPlay, Chromecast, etc.
For example, I have a bunch of Sonos Play 1 that I no longer use, but cannot re-purpose because they aren’t Bluetooth speakers, and for my use-case (speaker used by 5 different people) I really need something seamless cross-device.

Apple TV is pretty close today. Sure, the flick gesture isn’t there, but I can show content of my iPhone (or Mac) on the TV in seconds.
Your point stands of course: any such feature will be heavily vendor-locked for years until (if ever) all building blocks are boring commodities.
