  • Synology with Emby (do not use the connect service they offer) running behind my fortinet firewall. DDNS with my own domain name and ssl cert. Open 1 custom port (not 443) for it, and that’s it. Geoblock every country but my own, which basically eliminated all random traffic that was hitting hit. I’ve been running it this way for 5 years now and have no issues to report.





  • Yup, and same about november… I feel like somehow, despite everything going on, it’s the perfect storm for that guy to win. That guy’s ads were nuts,. Just telling everyone he is going to do everything trump does is crazy that thats a strategy let alone possibly a winning one… it will be bad news if he wins.

    As someone right next door and very nervous about our election in fall, I can definitely relate to this picture. I am very happy he pulled it off, though. It will be interesting to see what he does. Personally, even if he fails, im still happy we actually got to find out for once. Can’t wait to see.

    This brings back a memory… this is like 20 years ago and our early 20’s, we had one friend who went through a weird phase of self harm, but only around people and it got worse the drunker we got through the night. We all had no idea why, and we all got weirded out by it. Anyway, this reminded me of the time he carried around a glass jar with barbed wire inside and other things to cut you with $5 at the bottom. I believe he copied a scene in family guy. He kept asking people to try, and of course nobody would, so he would then say look its not hard and jam his hand inside. It was super creepy, and we think he enjoyed seeing us squirm and squint our eyes. During this same phase one night he carried around a kitchen knife, and he actually ended up stabbing our friend in the leg as he looked at us in horror and us back at him the same. Let’s just say he isn’t really friends with most of us anymore and also moved thousands of miles away.



  • As everyone has pointed out, people and content. Its good in some ways since not every post is drowned out with one thousand replies nobody will ever see, but at the same time, you’re not getting much of anything at all sometimes. Not even very niche ones either. Even groups that represent entire states has limited info or replies still. If it can grow to that size and see some more unique and local content more I think even that would be a much better place for it to be.





  • I think about this sometimes in the way that if I wanted to start a new career or do something different and I quickly realize im to old to do most things these days… all regular sports have been long gone. Other jobs requiring physical requirements are either over or near the end. I remember seeing the air traffic controller shortage, and they showed the requirements and I laughed and said we’ll I couldn’t even attempt this if I wanted to since they don’t accept people over 31. Lots of options are just gone at this point, and it’s sad and scary.
