What's a good usecase for TPM in Linux?

That helps, but it still doesn't block hexbear users from polluting threads on other instances.

Perhaps. It's a legal grey area here, not strictly legal but tolerated in certain areas (red light districts), but it's certainly not a socially acceptable thing.

It’s just really hard to believe a women asks if you’ve had sex with a sex worker…

I've been asked that question, and not just one time, so I believe OP that it can sometimes come up.

Yeah, much better to go: "What's your name again? Ah Jessica, let's see... Jade, Jane, Jasmine... ah right Jessica, here's your stuff!"

“Why do you have this cable, you don’t have a iphone”

It's like having some spare toothbrushes and women's hygiene stuff just in case someone stays over. You'll score points for being thoughtful, but on the other hand they'll be like: waaait a minute ...

Deleting your efi partition doesn't brick your board. It just makes your disk unbootable, but you can always install another operating system and create a new efi partition.

I think you're confusing with the special efivarfs file system that is mounted under /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. If you delete stuff under there, you're apparently going to have a bad time, because it directly deletes variables in your UEFI firmware which can prevent your system to POST.

You can use the wildcard domain

Yeah the problem was more that this machine is running on a network where I don't really control the DNS. That is to say, there's a shitty ISP router with DHCP and automatic dynamic DNS baked in, but no way to add additional manual entries for vhosts.

I thought about screwing with the /etc/hosts file to get around it but what I ended up doing instead is installing a pihole docker for DNS (something I had been contemplating anyway), pointing it to the router's DNS, so every local DNS name still resolves, and then added manual entries for the vhosts.

Another issue I didn't really want to deal with was regenerating the TLS certificate for the nginx server to make it valid for every vhost, but I just bit through that bullet.

Probably not. There are no implementations that I'm aware of that work well on a Linux guest.

I was afraid it was going to come down to that. I have been looking into configuration options for the apps, but they're 3rd party nodejs apps and I know jack shit about nodejs so I've had no luck with it so far.

Going with vhosts anyway (despite the pains it will create on this setup) seems to be the preferred way forward then.

Thanks for the insight, and for confirming what I already suspected.
