    Thanks.

    It’s my understanding that https provides encryption for the data sent between you and the server. If you’re not sending any sensitive data, then the encryption shouldn’t be necessary.

    Don’t get me wrong, encryption is great even when it isn’t necessary. For my demonstration purposes though, I chose not to include it.

    I also believe it’s possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that “we can’t verify the authenticity of this website” warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.


  • It’s not dumb at all! Don’t be afraid to ask. I’m not an expert and still learning myself.

    The VPN is running on the same machine that I am hosting the website on. There may be some configuration you can do to perhaps have the connection routed through your raspberry pi with a VPN running on it to the machine that’s hosting the website, but I’m not sure how.

    Otherwise, you should be able to at the very least run the entire setup on a raspberry pi.









  • pretty much all

    What about the ones that weren’t ticketmaster-only?

    I find it hard to believe they couldn’t find a place to have their shows. Maybe in a major city, but if they were willing to go outside of one then there’s no way ticketmaster is going to have control over everything.

    It could’ve been good business for the towns they played in and ticketmaster would be left out to dry.

    I guess that’s asking too much of them, though. Even though it’s really not.

    I’m going to have to say nay on their attempt. They could have and should have tried harder.









  • I completely agree with you.

    The whole atmosphere surrounding live shows is toxic as fuck. There are literally millions of useful idiots eager to get ripped off so they can fit in with each other.

    It’s a force that logic can’t fight back against. We live in a world of morons, and seeing them get taken advantage of in this way is something we should just get used to.

    I’m not holding my breath expecting things to change. My generation certainly wasn’t the one to fix these problems.
