The bolts may not have a great season. I think they’ve made some upgrades on a tight budget. The old 4th line was found in an archaeological dig somewhere. But it could still be rough. But the contracts are all short. When the cap goes up, the Atlantic is facing a team with a lot of holes, a lot of money, and the know how and desire to win. I could see them making a first or second round again this season. Next season, no one is safe.

A lot of people don’t get that. You’re right.

It would be LARGE PRINT and it would work by me being able to read it without a magnifying glass.

Swag has to have its own docker network, and the containers proxies through swag have to be on that network. It can’t be bridge or host. Spaceinvaderone did a good video in setting this up and covers that part very clearly, I think. Maybe I misunderstood, but since you said they’re all on the same network, I assumed it was their original network.

I finished Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane, which was an enjoyable read. He’s a great writer and a great plotter. This book is very much in the vein of what he does, but he changed the perspective around and it works. It isn’t his best book, but it’s refreshing.

I started The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I’ve never read anything by him before but I’ve always heard about this book. Finally picked it up, and it’s very early going, but I love what I’ve read so far. I’m going to end up having more to say about this book.

I’m listening to The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I read it in hardcover sometime not that long after it came out, but it’s fun revisiting it. I remember the writing differently than it sounds.

Ah, so you haven’t been a sysadmin at all through the last ten years of watching fucking security updates get stuffed in a subscription. Unless you think hardware subscriptions are something new? Cause that’s also old hat to anyone who runs anything professionally. We know. This is just rent a center for gamers. The only way to win is not to play. But in this case, it’s SUPER easy not to play.

I might know that guy. He curled up on the couch all sweet-like and then reprogrammed my universal remote.

Agreed, but I like how frequently they find a way to communicate despite it.

Very minor typo in the Useful Plex Add-ons guide, which is excellent so far:

Introduciton

I’m about two thirds of the way through Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane. And I finished The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore today.

I don’t think Lehane ever really misses. His plots aren’t usually all that dense but the characters are deep and compelling. And the writing is way better than it seems like it should be. Every once in a while you I read a line and think, “Where did that come from, and how did it get here?” He’s a really talented writer.

Moore is not that. But he’s fun and entertaining. This book was not his best effort. But it was fine. If you like Moore, you’ll like this one we’ll enough.

No, mark it as spam. There are probably 800 addresses in the BCC if that lame phishing attempt. I see hundreds of these in quarantine for the email server I run. They’re all the same. No one did anything except find your email address, maybe, and send you this garbage.

The point is your gained wisdom through experience. That’s what the old people always tried to tell us.

Are you going to solve any of those problems? No. Are you going to be able to join some organization or movement that solves them? Probably no. Will you be able to affect any change that the world will take notice of? Probably not.

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be a part of it. Not everything that has value makes meaningful changes on the world. There was a French artist, Marcel Duchamps, who once exhibited a urinal. This was clearly not an attempt to move art in any direction, or change public perception, he was kinda just being an asshole. But it had that effect anyway. People still get pissy about it, in the form of, “Is it art?” conversations. Is it? Doesn’t matter. It was a low effort one-off idea that has lasted for decades.

Life isn’t actually a race to see how much you can achieve. And if it was that, then it wouldn’t be measured by money. It wouldn’t be measured by “legacy,” the way we use that word for rich people and sports stars. If it really was a contest, then it would be based on how much good you can manage in the face of constant depressive onslaught.

The world has never seemed like it has a point to most people. But they try their best, and they make meaningful impact on the lives of others, often without intention or even knowledge of having done so .

One of my most influential people has no idea that he did anything. He’s around somewhere, although I haven’t seen him for 20 years. All he did was treat me like a person when I was a dumb teenager (not to say all teenagers are dumb, but I was). It really wasn’t much. But I hadn’t been treated that way before, so to me it’s influential because it was something he did that he didn’t have to do.

That guy is not going to be lying on his deathbed thinking, “At least I was a good influence on scared of planes.” For all I know, he doesn’t remember me. Doesn’t matter. He spread some good into the world. That’s your job. That’s your point.

Just be a better you tomorrow than you are today, as many days as you can manage. Know that no one does that every day. And you’ll live a meaningful life that maybe has influence. Your legacy is you.

Agreed. But I have been enjoying trying out some different Lemmy apps. Liftoff is pretty good! But there’s nothing yet that sway me from Sync.

Yeah, any solution is going to require at least egress rules for its traffic. Tailscale is a bit different since part of what it’s able to do is provide access to your LAN, if desired. Cloudflare just needs two ports, but it’s only providing a tunnel from the host.

Essentially it IS a tunnel, just with cloudflare’s infrastructure in the middle handling auth and obscuring each end from the other.

Auth is handled by cloudflare. That doesn’t mean cloudflare necessarily is the auth provider, though. Not likely in selfhosted, but one could set up some other auth provider, like azure, and cloudflare could give tunnel access to authorized users who actually provided credentials via azure.

The service, port, whatever being accessed via the tunnel may also require auth, and cloudflare generally doesn’t handle that. For example, your cloudflare tunnel to your local sonarr instance requires auth at cloudflare first, to access the tunnel, then again at sonarr because your sonarr instance requires authentication.

In a docker environment, you would either tunnel to the docker host or to individual Dockers. The latter is more sensible and generally a bit more secure, if only because least access = better. There’s probably some cloudflare tunnels docker out there that does half the setup for you, then you just stick it and the Dockers you want exposed through the tunnel all on the same docker network interface (which you create), but that’s just speculation.

As far as setting tunnels up goes, the docs are really good at the step by step. Easiest way to learn it is to set up a VM similar to what you want and bang away at the steps until it does what you want. Some things are easy, like RDP. Other things are trickier.

The basics of setup are that you use the cloudflared application at both ends: one server-side to expose what you want and one client-side to access the tunnel via cloudflare.

Tailscale is the same kinda thing. I think it is way easier for a lot of people. There’s a lot less setup involved. Just install the apps and make a few choices.

For personal use, I use wireguard to access my home server. Professionally I use cloudflare tunnels for a couple of things, but mostly an enterprise vpn.

What client do you like?

Have you read any? I haven’t, but I love adding these lists to my lists and then not remembering anything about them later on.

I have a server stood up for a couple years, and I keep it updated. But I’m still day to day on Plex for waf and for downloads, which have always worked for me. I try to keep up with jellyfin but I think I’m behind on development. For those of you who are daily drivers, how’s it going?

Or get revanced and install their version so you can browse ad-free because the old content there is invaluable. BTW, if you do that, use the old account you got locked out of. It’s unlocked now. Don’t go giving them the benefit of a new sign up.

Same, with the hd and hurricane add ons.
