Thanks! Just started using this recently (been having problems with Substreamer), and so far, so good :)

For sure I do. I just wanted to hold up an example of a liberal hero for demonstration.

Remember when Obama decided that “moving on” was more important than prosecuting the Bush admin for war crimes? There won’t ever be any consequences for these people unless we find a way to distribute them ourselves.

Not like it ever applied to the US anyways.

I always vote, but I also don’t think it really matters. I’ve stopped giving people shit for not voting, because I can’t blame them. Our elections will never result in the kind of changes we need.

Have been for awhile. Phone backgrounds too.

I saw one where a guy talked about getting free hotel rooms, and getting a mortgage for a homeless dude. Hacker shit.

How I learned the most was building a home server and figuring out all the problems along the way. LAN, WAN, VPN, iptables, DNS…

It’s a wallpaper not a goddamned “screensaver”!

For sure. I was in a dying industry, and now I have the makings of a career. I would say: have a goal, map out the steps it will take to achieve it, then take the first steps!

I went back to school in my 40s and changed careers.

Locked me out of my apartment. Stepped out onto the back patio to water some plants. I closed the door behind me so he wouldn’t get out. He (my cat) did a big stretch and pulled down the lock. I was about to go to work. No keys, no wallet, no phone, no shoes.

I do your second suggestion. I have a cheap ($5/mo) vps from digital ocean that proxies all the traffic to/from my home server via wireguard. There’s a few tutorials out there that explain how to configure iptables to forward traffic from one network interface to another on the vps.

And also cited OAS lmao!

Advice that older people give you is just them looking at their own regrets. You may not have the same ones, so take it with a grain of salt. You have your one life to live so do whatever you want.

I like to tell people: “if there’s one thing I know, it’s trivia!”

After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

When you run ipconfig in the windows terminal, it will give you a bunch of info. I can’t remember the exact name it will be, but it’s almost certainly going to be 192.168.something.something. The only other line that will look similar will be the ‘default gateway’, which will probably end with .1.
