The longer you look, the worse it gets
  • While I agree that censoring the plate is courteous, I don’t think that is how this car in particular is most likely to be identified. /s

  • Put your nose in the middle and see the magic
  • That’s completely fucked. But I laughed.

  • Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome
  • Got a kink to the dockerhub?

    I confess! Docker is my kink! /s

  • Anon watches an American flick
  • I was literally in a movie recently with inexplicably wet streets, and the director said it was because the extra reflected light looks great on film.

  • She exposed how the nation's poorest state spent federal welfare money. Now she might go to jail.
  • Louisiana likes to give them a run for their money occasionally. Both of those states have areas that are like third world countries, and the average education level is lolcow low.

  • On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?
  • I have no illusions anymore that this pattern won’t repeat. I enjoy my back pain for what it is: the pre-hip pain era.

  • On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?
  • I thought that too. I regret to report: it gets worse.

  • On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?
  • This is a truth that everyone under 30 denies until the day they turn 30. It’s like a magic spell is suddenly broken, and you realize you’re alone in an aging meat husk that now knows the glory of back pain.

    I know a young person will read this and think this won’t happen to them. To that person: I am you from the future. Remember us as we were.

  • Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump's Sentencing
  • That’s why you never stop seeding the history torrent, children. /s

  • "All the evidence is about to come out": Legal experts say SCOTUS ruling could backfire on Trump
  • I’m sorry, did we see the same thing? Not saying Trump killed it, but Biden definitely didn’t crush it.

  • New apartment Internet has no port forwarding, admin login
  • Not when used with Tailscale. You can put Tailscale on the VPS and on your home server, put Nginx on the VPS and point it to the Tailscale address for the desired service with your desired subdomain.

    Voila, Nginx is serving your content through the Tailscale tunnel without edits to your home network. If Tailscale works, then this will work.

  • New apartment Internet has no port forwarding, admin login
  • Storage size, privacy, security, operating cost…I can think of several reasons. I use a cheap vps to help me route traffic to my ebook server, and I don’t have to pay for extra storage on the vps to hold all my comic books, which can be quite large when scanned in HD.

  • Seedbox recs
  • Honestly, I’d sincerely recommend learning run or compose from the cli to get your containers started. Understanding the available variables and how to use them will teach you everything you will need to know if you choose a tool like DockStarter or Portainer later. They are convenient, but the way they hide the underlying run and compose options can sometimes end up limiting your understanding in the long run.

  • Seedbox recs
  • I thought I didn’t understand docker until I realized I was trying to use crappy broken containers. I can vouch for the official gluetun and qbittorrent ones functioning normally.

    Both can be created easily with docker run if you don’t feel comfortable working with docker compose yet. Both of their pages have run and compose options in the description.

    I don’t think you’ll regret the time taken to learn it if you go this route. Docker permanently changed how I managed my services for the better.

  • Seedbox recs
  • Ultraseedbox is a reliable and affordable option that I have used for years across a variety of their offered plans. I’ve always been happy with it:

    https://ultra.cc/

    I also recommend using Gluetun as a docker container, and then setting that as your network for a qbittorrent container. It is really easy to set up with a built in kill switch, so no more leaks from a disconnect.

  • Dallas could become largest Texas city to decriminalize marijuana
  • They blocked it in Austin too, but I can tell you from personal experience that it doesn’t make a difference. The cops don’t enforce it, which is the right stance for now, in my opinion.

    Occasionally, state troopers will get people for weed inside city limits, but that is extremely rare.

  • Biden admits to taking drugs before the debate.
  • Gavin Newsom doesn’t even seem to be all that popular in California. I have no idea why people think he’s a winner.

  • USA presidential candidates
  • Until there is literally a smoking gun, I have no serious reason to believe that Carter is anything less than a man who has done his best to be good. He was also a human being, and I’m sure people can dig up a bad interaction if they look hard enough. Still, it doesn’t invalidate his lifetime of attempts at making a positive impact on the world.

    Carter ain’t no Cosby.

  • Elon's favorite color & scent
  • I learned this recently: eau de toilette means it is a lightly scented cologne made for short term wear. Eau de parfum is a stronger scent for longer wear.

    Eau de toilette is the most popular type of men’s cologne in the USA.

    [Promoting] Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could

    My journey with docker started with a bunch of ill fated attempts to get an OpenVPN/qBittorrent container running. The thing ended up being broken and never worked right, and it put me off of VPN integration for another year or so.

    Then recently I found Gluetun…and holy fucking cow. This thing is the answer to every VPN need I could possibly think of. I have set it up with 3 different providers now, and it has been more simple and reliable than the clients made by the VPN providers themselves every time.

    If you combine the power of Gluetun with the power of Portainer, then you can even easily edit settings for your existing containers and hook them up to a VPN connection in seconds (or disconnect them). Just delete the forwarded ports in the original container, select the Gluetun container as the network connection, and then forward the same ports in Gluetun. Presto, you now have a perfectly functioning container connected to a VPN with a killswitch.

    So if any of y’all on the high seas have considered getting more serious about your privacy, don’t do what I did and waste a bunch of time on a broken container. Use Gluetun. Love Gluetun. Gluetun is the answer.

    Media Library Statistics Display for Public Viewing

    I’m hoping to find some kind of statistical display for my media library that I can show on my website. I found Medialytics, which is a little rough, but essentially what I’m looking for, but it isn’t secure enough for public display because the Plex token is included in the script for the page.

    Does anybody know of a good statistics display for a large media library that would have a publicly displayable page similar to uptime-kuma?

    [Wishlist] BOINC Screensaver with WebUI

    I have found several docker containers that allow you to run a BOINC server as a container, but I haven’t seen any that give you access to the BOINC screensaver. My ideal would be if the screensaver itself was shown on a dedicated port so it could be used easily as a display without any controls popping up.

    Sadly, I have no idea how to make this or how to get a custom container made. I guess I’m just throwing this idea out to the universe in hope that it happens someday.

    The Love Chase by Charles Christian Nahl (1869)

    Carl Christian Heinrich Nahl (October 18, 1818 – March 1, 1878) was a German-born painter who lived in the United States for the last half of his life. He lived most of those 30 years in California and is considered among the state's first significant painters.
