How's your stuff doing? Unplanned interruptions or achieving uptime records?

I'm currently sailing rather smooth. Most of my stuff is migrated to Komodo, there will stay some exceptions and I only have to migrate Lemmy itself I think. Of course that's when I found a potential replacement but I'll let it sit for a while before touching it again. Enjoying the occasional Merge Request notification from the Renovate Bot and knowing my stuff is mostly up to date.

I'm thinking about setting up some kind of Wiki for my other niche hobby (Netrunner LCG) lore as there's a fandom one that most people avoid touching and updating but since I likely won't have time to start writing some articles on my own as a kickoff I'm hesitant. Also not sure which wiki I'd choose as well.

My ISP uses CGNAT but I can ask for a dynamic IP address for free. I sent them an email and got a reply in less than a week. I can also pay extra like 2.50€ per month or something for a fixed IP. I found that quite reasonable.

I'm thinking getting a static public IP might just be the easiest way to go. I have a pretty good ISP. Aside from sticking all the customers behind CGNAT.

Namecheap, and I guess other registrars too, has an API that you can call from your server to update your IP address in their DNS. It's super easy. No need to pay for a static IP address. At least in my case ei already use my domain for other things.

And since when is the easiest way the funnest way? :P

I don't understand how that'd work but I'll look into it. Thanks for the info!

Basically it's a URL that you call with curl. You can set up a crown job to call every day or as often as you need. The URL contains the domain name or subdomain, you dynamic public IP (not CNAT), and the API token. This way you Domain always points to your dynamic IP.

I think I get it. I'll look into after I get home from work today.
