If you've got some free time and a spare computer, pihole with recursive DNS, it blocks ads and queries the root DNS servers itself (requires some extra set up though).
Other services like Quad9 are good for networks other than your home though.
Cloudflare Tunnels have a basic reverse proxy built in, so you could technically still have one and eliminate Traefik.
However, I still use one for nginx, and one for each important app (frigate, home assistant, probably others), plus an extra on a raspberry pi as more of a VPN if my wireguard server goes down.
Whilst that would keep Australia Post solvent, it has externalities, simplistically it’s a tarif on local manufactured product.
I've also heard that Amazon and similar 'mass senders' have special deals with postage companies, so most locally manufactured stuff would probably be fairly cheap to post, and they increase the price for normal people to send.
Also the 77c for the head torch is a one time welcome deal, it shows up as $8.97 for me when logged in. So Aliexpress is probably just making a loss in hopes to make a profit from you later.
Minor nitpick but I don't believe that's correct, they're part of the universal postal union where they set prices for other post companies to send into Australia.
I'm no post enthusiast though, so it might not be correct, that's just my understanding.
I don't use either, but aren't there Twitter to Mastodon bridges that will sync posts. Surely if Nitter can get around the API restrictions, the bridges can too.
