Wdym, their burgers and chicken tendies are pretty good

Wireguard is even easier

Yeah, it’s definitely more enticing.

“You’re telling me if I inhale this, it tastes like donuts!?”

😂

Any doctor will tell you that breathing anything other than air is harmful. Vaping is far and away less harmful than cigarettes, and when used for their intended purpose (smoking cessation), they are absolutely the “healthier” option.

Why are you manually running backups? Script it and run as a cron job

Why do you need to cast to it? An Android TV device like the one I mentioned can just play that content.

Yes, I use subdomains.

I pay for one domain name in Cloudflare (e.g. awesomedomain.com), and have a single “A” record pointing to the public IP of my server, and a single “CNAME” record with a value of * that points to awesomedomain.com.

That way, any subdomain gets directed to the server, and then you setup Nginx Proxy Manager to listen for certain subdomains and where to proxy them. No need to manage any further DNS records in Cloudflare, and any changes made on the proxy don’t need any wait time for DNS records to propagate.

Nginx Proxy Manager also handles automatic SSL certs through Let’s Encrypt - I really can’t recommend it enough.

Sounds like you don’t have port forwarding setup.

I highly recommend setting up Nginx Proxy Manager and using it as a reverse proxy.

I have lots of services, but using a reverse proxy means I only have to expose 2 ports (80 & 443) and then I can serve whatever I want, like Plex, over https without a relay.

“Smart TVs” usually suck as the manufacturers tend to put in the cheapest internals that have very little future proofing/longevity.

You’re going to be infinitely better off getting some kind of android TV box (the ONN 4k from Walmart runs Google TV and it’s usually around $20) and just using the “Smart TV” as a display.

Tinc is terrible

It’s awful to setup, and hasn’t been updated in years. Anything Wireguard, or Wireguard-based will be lightyears better.

Realdebrid + Stremio + Torrentio plugin

Edit: Here’s a guide I followed from the bad place

They are so gay for Jesus

Get any old enterprise workstation (they practically give Dells away for free) and get to know Docker.

Using multiple Pis for single applications is a fool’s errand - my Optiplex was free and it is running ~30 containers with plenty of room to breathe.

Human Centipede

Bring out the gimp.

I was meaning for mobile tech, running your own personal AI on your phone.

Next tech is probably going to be dedicated GPUs or similar to run personalized AI

I thought pretty much everyone got their MMR shots these days… But there I go underestimating stupid people again.

sketchy third party apps

I was replying mostly about the “sketchy” comment. The apps I mentioned are open source, and are among the most popular programs for anyone customizing Windows - maybe even top 5.

If you’re not a Windows user, then yeah, why would you personally need to know of them? Much like the average Windows user would not be able to even tell you what ls and cat are for. Doesn’t make those tools any less valid.

To be fair, you can use just a couple open source tools like ExplorerPatcher and Open-Shell to vastly improve the UX.

I’d actually say it’s easier to get a modern environment in Windows 11 as it natively has a tabbed file manager and terminal.

I say this as someone who has to use Windows, versus wanting to use Windows.
