  • Basically you have to run a mini server (I use a docker container) called a cloudflare endpoint. From there you just enter the IPs and keys that your cloudflare account tells you to in the tunnel creation menu, and it all pretty much connects from there.

    Then, on the cloudflare side, you make different subdomains point to local ports. So, for example, for connecting to qbittorrent web client, in the cloudflare menus I can make qbit.domain.example point to localhost:8080. In this case, it means “localhost” relative to the cloudflare access point you’ve made (which in my case can use localhost because its hosted on the same machine as my other docker containers, but if they are on different machines you can use local IP addresses).

    I use their free plan, which is all you need if you’re just serving web content to a small number of users. You might need a domain to do this, but I don’t recall.

    My layman’s understanding is you basically make cloudflare be the router, so their server/ports are what is exposed to the open internet rather than your local router.

    If it isn’t capitalism then I would argue it’s a direct consequence of the incentives it sets up. When a venture is primarily owned by investors whose only interest in it is a return on investment, sooner rather than later, it sort of sets up exactly what I described does it not?

    Maybe the words I should have used were “unfettered capitalism”?

    I think they’re referring to a common growth projection strategy used in modern capitalism which is basically whatever number we made last year + X% is our goals for this year and if we don’t make that growth then it’s considered a failure and now we have to lay people off.

    No capitalist is ever okay with doing just as well as last year, or recognizing that last year was an extraordinary circumstance that gave us blockbuster sales and it isn’t necessarily repeatable.

    It may not be the textbook definition, but it’s definitely a trait of modern capitalists.

    The closed, finite system we are referring to is of course Earth. Capitalism requires expansion, but what do you do when you cannot expand further?
