  • We reached peak comedy in the 90’s

    This proves that after months, perhaps even years of modern meme research, we’ve arrived at the same conclusion that mr bean arrived back in the nineties.

    May this serve as a reminder, fellow citizens: mr bean under a beam is the ultimate joke. People in the nineties were far ahead of their times and predicted modern meme culture. In fact, I believe they discovered the fundamental natural laws of comedy. Who knows what other complex and arcane theories they have hidden in plain sight. For this banger of a meme to be nothing but the intro to mr bean means we have more years, perhaps decades of research to achieve a fraction of the raw comedical output of the 90’s

    Need we worship and pray to these old gods, for their art that’s been lost to time to return to us, perhaps from the heavens, descending illuminated, through a thin ray of light, packaged for our modern taste in a metal container meant for legumes, handed to us mortals by a god that resembles us, wearing a suit, and a tie, holding a stuffed bear as to not cause fear, but hope and happiness in our hearts.

    “Do not fear” may he say, not through words, but through an exaggerated facial expression resembling a wide-eyed smile.

    “Here’s your beans”







  • Thanks!! I feel a bit more confident about this project now. To know that I’m on the right track is very validating to me. I will do my best to do my proper research and not go balls to the wall on this one.

    I also really appreciate your advice on security, as I think this is the leg from which I limp the most. I’m still very new to all SSH and HTTPS things, so yeah…

    I also didn’t quite understand your first point; what does openhab mean? And how is it possible that the people you mention aren’t getting hacked? Is it related to the second point about using ssh keys? I read in another comment that hackers could compromise my home network if I’m not careful enough, so I want to be extra cautious with that. (I hope I’m not lacking in common sense… perhaps it’s my reading comprehension that’s lacking… Yeah, that must be it!)


  • Thanks! I’ll look into this hello world example. And as for the electricity bill… I’m planning on having this website running locally for a short while, as this is mostly for learning purposes. Perhaps in the future I’ll try other hosting options, idk.

    But for the time being, I like to think that I’ll be able to host whatever I want whenever I want you know? It’s kind of liberating.


  • Thanks! This actually helps me a lot, I’m lacking a bit of knowledge on ports and stuff, it sounds a bit daunting to have that many ports to choose from, but if you narrow it to that one port and another temporal one it gets easier haha, thank you, I never know which ports to use for stuff.

    I’ve been reading some other comments and I think I’ve kind of figured out what to do, it’s just a matter of doing some more research, as you mentioned the how-to’s are easy to find online, but the bones of my plan are kind of there haha.


  • Thanks! I also appreciate your concern. I’m also worried about getting attacked or hacked, so I’ll be doing my research on that too… Maybe, if the risks are to high I might have to compromise with a small short-term deployment (just for the accomplishment) and then switch to a more reasonable project, perhaps trying linode or something.


  • Thanks again! I just checked the material on Professor Messer and I think I’ll be taking the “Networking+” course per your recommendation and maybe the security one; after all, I’ll be hosting something publically on the internet.

    Also, when I’m done (and if you don’t mind) I’d like to add a small section as a tutorial of sorts, on how to accomplish this with the links and resources that you shared with me, so that other people can also do it.



  • Thank you so much! You’ve been incredibly helpful. I really appreciate that you took the time to write such a comprehensive guide with links to this many resources. I will read everything, and as soon as I’ve got something running I’ll update. (I’m not in a rush tho, so It might take a while)

    Again, thank you so so so so so much! <3
