If I now point my domain to the VPN IP the reverse proxy is only reachable on that port. Now I configure the reverse proxy to forward port 1000 to 443 for my webserver.
However when I now open a browser tab and go to mydomain.com the browser will only try to make a connection to port 443 and 80. Or can I change that in the DNS or something? -

YourShadow Link ParentYou could do this. However you can't choose the port to forward. So your server needs to respond to the port Proton opens for you. Alternatively you could set up a reverse proxy. If for example...You could do this. However you can't choose the port to forward. So your server needs to respond to the port Proton opens for you. Alternatively you could set up a reverse proxy.
If for example you want to host a website every user would need to open yourpage.com:port which makes it unusable for hosting publicly.If there is a way around that I'd be happy to learn about it.

I mainly switched because I now also use the drive, email and calendar features from them.Proton feels faster. However I've not done any data collection to back this claim.

However, I've played quite a bit of cyberpunk after they patched the mayor stuff. I would have recommended the game back then. So I guess it's probably only better now. -

YourShadow Link ParentI envy your prices for Uber. Last time I needed a cab in my country was a 26km ride (about 16 miles I guess) that took 25min or something. I paid 80€.I envy your prices for Uber.

They would give more than they get. Sure there are some people who believe this is the right thing to do but I'm fairly certain that there will always be a bias to lower income households participating in such programs.I don't think an ubi can work on a voluntary basis and instead needs to be "forced" by the state.

It's a manual transmission so driving around country roads is nice and at the same time cruising the highway is comfortable as well.
I love it. -

I mostly try to avoid movie trailers and did not see the trailer for this one. I watched it after the show and man was the IMAX worth it.As for the movie, in my opinion, it was phenomenal. I was blown away by the different art styles of each character in the first and now the second was even more impressive in this regard. Especially Gwens' Spiderverse was breathtaking.
Spoiler
I loved how in the end, when she reconciles with her father the colors blend together. And also that Hobies watch has a different portal animation.So many small details that could have not been done as a cost-saving measure but were done anyway.
This should get an Oscar. -

I'm also one of the people put off by reddit killing third party apps. And after 8 years there I am looking for a new site to come to.
I must admit I am not the most active user on any social media so I will be mostly reading content and only post occasionally.I work in data engineering, love nature and photography and spend far to much time on the internet.
I look forward to my time here.
I don't understand why they only make it available for PS5 users.
If I already have the console, why wouldn't I just play the game locally.
I've used some cloud gaming software previously and it's never as good as local gameplay.
