I really want a competent technical person to do a review of their engineering practices and culture, something has to be wrong over there.

I have my electricity smart meter display in my study/game room so I can see on there when the oven is done preheating

As a kid, they're a person holding a huge yellow and red lollipop! So all the kids call them that anyway, so the name sticks (much like a dropped lollipop).

....Monaco?

I just ignore the sprints anyway.

It's an old meme of an old person to be fair.

Dammit...

I have lost the game.

I think I was up to a few months too!

The motor could help on the hills still and would give you more weight for the downhill stretches!

Oh. That's the kind of annoying thing that makes people not want to switch OS.

This is the classic way of doing basic age verification, I remember it stopping me when I was a kid! I would much prefer this over all of the other iffy ones that collect my ID. I do (mostly) trust my bank/card provider.

They should have a way round it for those without credit cards though.

 

for valley only passes, not for whole ski area ones though.

Article's headline, not mine!

I disagree, with the headline, but it does at least mention astroturfing etc.

 

Seems to go to an alternate front end, but not load?

 

... Who would have thought?

 

Would link to the status page.... But it's down!

 

They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised.

Intro: I have finally entered the world of (almost) Gigabit internet, which is opening up options with what I can host.

I currently have:

  • Pi hole on an actual RP (will probably remain there because its easy)
  • Inbound Wireguard VPN on my old router (will stop working when my old ISP stops service) EDIT: my new ISB gave me a router, but it doesn't have VPN functionality
  • Foundry VTT that I run up on my gaming machine when needed

I will probably also be upgrading my gaming PC in the next few months, so my current rig will probably be put behind the TV to use as a server and for couch gaming.

Info/recommendations I would like:

  • VPN software (I want to VPN INTO my network) My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option? (I assume I just port forward the VPN ports to the server?)
  • Private cloud/File server: I both want to be able to occasionally (but permamently) host files publicly, but still have the main store be available on the local network only. Is that going to be two pieces of software, or just one?
  • Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server? its something that I see a lot of people talk about, but don't really understand why...
  • Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?
  • ~Piracy~ VM - Enabling the virtualisation stuff for Docker mostly breaks virtualbox (at least on windows) any recommendations for how to nicely run a VM alongside docker (if that's the recommendation)?
  • Should/Could I be hosting anything else? Foundry will probably be on there. I don't feel like I have a use for smart home stuff, so home assistant wouldn't be much use etc.
