  • Same. I have a router with OPNsense. In the “Dynamic DNS” section I create a “Custom” service with the DynDNS2 protocol. I type in update.dedyn.io as the server address. You need to also get an api key from the desec.io web panel that you input into the username and password fields.

    Now everytime the router’s WAN ip changes it automatically edits the DNS zone. So instead of going “your server -> DDNS provider -> DNS CNAME record” it’s just “your server -> DNS A record”

    I also have a separate token for my web proxy (traefik) so that it can edit the DNS records to get let’s encrypt certificates through dns challenge as you describe.

    As for the desec signups in my case one DNS zone was no problem, but for a second one I needed to e-mail them:

    Hello, would it be possible for my newly created account to get one more domain on the account please? I have two personal domains and it would be great if I could keep them both under deSEC

    Hi [me], Sure! The limit is mostly there to remind users to enable DNSSEC, but it looks like you’re already doing that (at your old provider).

    They asked me to (voluntarily) donate, which I did too.





















  • On a journey like this what I found most difficult is not to go insane. With search engines sucking (though you can narrow down google to look only in EU) it’s sometimes really annoying to find every little item from an EU company. I still buy used non-EU clothes on Vinted, because who cares, they’re already there. Patagonia is cool despite being an US company, so they get a pass.

    Finally it’s obviously a bit more expensive to buy European. But then again workers in Portugal, Bulgaria or Austria have completely different working conditions than their peers in Bangladesh.

    Things have a base price. The fact that you can buy a t-shirt for 5 euro doesn’t mean that this is how much it “should” cost. It means that the company cut every corner possible to nuke the price to an absurdly low level, where it’s downright unhealthy to the ecosystem/industry at that price. It’s not that the made in EU clothes are expensive, it’s just that the price is just right if European manufacturing and natural/recycled materials are important to you.
