  • From what I understand running high bandwidth things like video streaming through cloudflare tunnels will get your cloudflare account banned or charged (which is why they require payment info to setup tunnels).

    Best to keep things like emby, jellyfin, and Plex to tailscale or just open the port.

    Idk how emby works but with Plex I feel pretty safe having port open. Since any logins have to auth though Plex’s servers.


  • Not really directly answering your question here so feel free to ignore me. But if I’m understanding right your setup sounds like a more complicated way of doing what I am.

    I put tailscale on all my devices. And in every docker compose for the ports I do. TailscaleIP:hostport:containerport

    So nothing can be access on local network at all. Only through tailscale. Which I can access from any of my devices locally or remotely without opening a port. All E2E encrypted I’m pretty sure. The only con is having to trust tailscale.

    I do keep Plex port open for friends though.

    The return system uses weight. There is a scam ppl have done where you order something then switch it with the same weight in rocks or sand. Then send as a return to get your money back. So I assume a empty box wouldn’t have the needed weight and would be flagged.

    About a year ago I finally took the time to learn it. Just make sure you know which finger should hit which keys. And then do a bunch of practice. My favorite way to to practice is Monkey type. Its all about the muscle memory. Doesn’t take as long as you’d think ether. About 20 hrs of practice and I was just as fast as I was before. Then you will start getting really fast if you keep it up.



  • Can’t say if its “normal” or not but I’m exactly the same. It sucks sometimes cause I want to work on multiple things. Developing a project, learning a instrument, learning a new language, training cardio. But I seem to only have time for one at a time. Because I’ll put soo much time into that one. Whichever one is most interesting at the time.

    At the same time though I kind of think its a good thing cause when I’m interested in something I can have a lot of fun and make a lot of progress fast.

    But yeah if I find a new TV show or game I have to completely finish it before I can get back to being productive.






  • The main reason I switch was the way packages work. When you install something that has a dependency say like python. Instead of using whatever python you have already installed it gets another python package that is the exact version the original packages needs. So everything you have installed that uses python has its own python. That way if your python gets updated for one thing it won’t break anything else that still needs the older version.

    Its probably just a skill issue but I used both manjaro and arch for years on main desktop and both ended up broke where I couldn’t update anymore because of that issue. I know it can be fixed somehow but I always made it worse when I tried. I also had the same issue happen on my other computers(arch) when I would not update them for extended period of time.

    Nixos not only fixes that by the way it does dependencies, but also because every time you “rebuild” it makes a new image you can boot from. So if a update breaks anything you just reboot back to the last working image. So the system is pretty much indestructible.

    Other things i love about nixos.

    • The Nixpkgs repo is HUGE. I never use snap or flakpak anymore. And its so much more reliable than arch AUR (IMO).
    • when you remove a package from your config and rebuild the image. Its as if it never existed on the system in the first place. Only any files in your home folder remain.
    • you can use nix-shell to temporary “install” packages. I use it a lot actually. There are few tools I use very rarely or if I want to try something new. You use it. Close the shell. Then it gets deleted next time you garbage collect.
    • I switch between desktop environments. Sometimes just to try others out. But mainly I run hyprland. But if I need a GUI for something I just build my other config file and reboot into gnome. Then when Im done I just reboot back to hyrland image. And gnome is fully gone again. As if it was never installed.
    • I keep all my configs for all three of my machines In the same git repo. If any of them go down. It would not take long at all to restore them back exactly how they are.
    • its been fun sharing my fully config setup. Zsh(plugins like fuzzy finder)/tmux/NeoVim(with a bunch of plugins)/themes/starship with my friends. I just give them my config with a few tweaks changing username and removing anything they don’t need.
    • You build one config. Get it just right. And you never have to do it again. No matter how many often you want to wipe your machine. One rebuild and everything is back. I just tweak my config as I go. And it applies every machine when I “rebuild” them.

    Okay that was a lot of rambling. Probably repeated a lot of same points. I normally would go back and clean it up but I dont have time atm. I hope it somewhat answers your question. I feel like I’m forgetting something too.

    If your interested you can try messing with nixos in a VM. Its pretty cool that if you make a config you like you can copy it from VM and use it. When I first switched I was pretty confused and it took probably two weeks to get my config anywhere close to what I had on arch. Most of that was trying to figure out how to config neovim plugins like LSP servers in home manager. Was so worth it though. Going from arch to nixos was every bit as great as when I moved from Window 10 to arch IMO.




  • I don’t know for sure, but I bet it takes a lot more mining to make enough solar panels + battery’s than powering enough fission plants. Plus solar panels wear out and have to be redone every 20-30 years from what I understand. Not counting maintenance and ones that get broke from natural disasters.

    As I said though. I want both. solar/wind/etc definitely have a place. Just don’t think its good enough. Maybe if we have a massive break through on battery tech they will be.


  • Well if you read the comment I was replying too.

    There aren’t enough rare earth minerals on the earth to create the necessary equipment for solar, wind, etc to meet our current energy needs.

    Even if he is wrong. Mining so many is very harmful. Much better off building nuclear plants. Along with some solar/wind/hydro of course.

    The problem with taking long to build and expensive is easily solve if the governments build them. Currently in the US it doesn’t happen cause it’s left to private companies, and they take a long time to become profitable.
