    You would be looking for the Texas Citizens Participation Act. That's Texas' Anti-SLAPP law. No idea how it holds up in comparison to other states' though.

    If you

    understand what it is you're replacing, what you're replacing it with, and how to use the replacement

    then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.

    A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you're no longer a beginner at that point.

    Static IPs handed out by your local router are not dependent on having a static IP from your ISP. You do not need one to have the other. You can always have static IPs on your local network.

    YNAB price increase

    Just received an email that the cost of YNAB is increasing (again) to $109/yr effective August 1 for new sign-ups and September 1st for renewals. Definitely has me checking alternative options again as I don't feel like there have been enough improvements since the last price increase to justify another one already.

    I'd certainly be interested in full details. This sounds like the best of all worlds of not needing to double reverse proxy, not hardcoding internal IPs in the config of a single reverse proxy on the VPS, and not losing the source IP.

    Does this cause all traffic at the reverse proxy to appear to come from the source IP of your VPS or does it preserve the original source IP?

    I've been working on setting up a similar setup myself and am trying to figure out specifically how to handle the forwarding on the VPS.

    You're not wrong, but you are leaving out some convenient parts of the experience. Yes, before, you could call a cab company and they would come pick you up and take you somewhere. But, you didn't know how long it would take for your driver to pick you up. had no idea how much the ride would cost you, and there was a pretty good chance the driver wouldn't accept a credit card for payment whether it was company policy to or not.

    When illegal cab companies came along, they forced competition by giving you realtime information on where your driver was and how long until they would pick you up, price estimates before your ride begins, and a guaranteed method of payment that isn't cash. Cab companies had to modernize with mobile apps, lower their prices to stay competitive, and improve the overall customer experience.

    For as badly as the drivers are treated by the companies, the services were successful because the existing experience with established cab companies sucked.

    This will completely change so many standard designs, such as train loaders and unloaders. I'm really looking forward to v2.0 now!

    I'm not smart enough to verify the accuracy of this claim, nor exactly what the implications are, but it seems like it might improve performance if fixed.
