I installed this after seeing your v1 post and already got use out of it resizing some images on mobile. The only thing I noticed as lacking was a multiple file selector, so this is a great first update!

Paywall article 🤮

Came here to say something similar because it’s important to recognise that this likely is not out of the kindness of their hearts. But I don’t think there’s any reason to talk down potential allies either.

I see it in the default WebUI, perhaps whatever app you’re using doesn’t support it?

I added a cheap PCI 4 slot NVMe expansion card and a couple of SSDs for a new pool and then migrated all the database-heavy stuff over to it. Required some use of local ZFS send/receive which I didn’t know was possible, but it has gone smooth so far. Very happy with it! It no longer sounds like my HDD pool is trying to escape from hell and some of the services are much snappier, especially Bitmagnet. I’d highly recommend it as an upgrade for anyone still running purely HDDs. I thought I could get away with it but ZFS speeds are no faster than single drives and the amount of stuff I had was hammering it non-stop.

I also bought my own domain finally to escape the free-tier dynamic DNS woes and I can finally feel good about sharing links with other people. I slapped a file share container with disabled registrations on a sub domain. I put it all behind free tier Cloudflare to hide my server’s IP, it took a little bit of learning what the different records are but so far much easier than I thought. Although I have yet to do the hardest part of setting up dynamic IP for my DNS records. I see a bunch of scripts floating around, but none seem that easy or well-maintained…

Oh, and the PI I’ve had running Pi-Hole v5 for god knows how long with no maintenance couldn’t run Tailscale, so I wiped the entire thing to start fresh and got it up and running with Pi-Hole v6, Tailscale, and Unbound. I like having these separated from my other services as they are more critical to have at all times and I have had 100% uptime with my Pi so far. Although I chose Dietpi for my OS on a whim because it looked interesting and am not sold on it. I like that it has easy software installs with sane defaults so I probably saved time overall, but the amount of time I spent debugging the weird choices Dietpi made for basic shit like networking options really threw me off.

I guarantee you you can and eventually will if this platform lives on. Not to mention user propoganda is not exactly much better. Keep your brain on and don’t believe any platform to be immune to garbage because they never are.

I just wish more of the non-US ones supported .ca domains. :(

It’s pretty bad. That said, I search for “gethomepage” and find it every time.

I tried Firefly but sadly had to give it up. Every action felt like such a slog to do and overkill for what I wanted. I love tracking in detail but it was a bit much even for me. At the end of the day I just want to track in/out + categories and put this data in a few charts. I still find my spreadsheet is better at that.

It’s for people that like tracking things in detail, greasemonkey or no. I use it mostly for the gas mileage feature but also set up a couple of service reminders and added my service receipts. All easy to do but if you miss a fuel up it’s kind of annoying to track it right.

I have a large backlog of five(?)+ plus year old games that are really good and I have yet to play. I’d much rather burn through those enjoying them on high settings instead of playing current games on low settings while trying to dodge crap monetization.

I’ve had this happen twice in two weeks since installing Watchtower and have since scheduled it to only run on Friday evening…

Okay you go convince the government to re-appropriate Tesla. While you’re doing that for the rest of your life everyone else will keep burning them to actually get something done.

Is it really a “longtime tariff” when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish…

I’ve been happily using Windscribe for a while now, they have port forwarding with a dedicated IP. Averaging out the separate charges, it’s about $4 USD/month for a custom plan (1 location + unlimited data) + dedicated IP. Technically their Pro tier includes ephemeral port forwarding, but I don’t like how it works.

I’m using Gluetun via Docker Compose as well right now and can happily say all the ports exposed via the ports: setting are local network only. I could port forward them via the router probably (haven’t tried) but I only use them for access via LAN. To expose ports over the VPN connection you use the FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS environment variable. A stripped version of my current compose (example port numbers, not real) with LAN access to 6000 and WAN access to 1234 and 5678:

services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN # in the default compose file i dunno what this does tbh
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
      - VPN_TYPE=openvpn
      - OPENVPN_VERSION=<redacted>
      - OPENVPN_USER=<redacted>
      - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=<redacted>
      - OPENVPN_CUSTOM_CONFIG=/gluetun/custom.ovpn
      - FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=1234,5678 # allows ports through VPN connection
      - FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=192.168.0.0/24 # I found that I needed this for certain LAN access
    ports:
      - 6000:6000 # port i access via LAN
    volumes:
      - /mnt/example/config.ovpn:/gluetun/custom.ovpn

I believe they meant that 30% of their product goes across the border, not that 30% of the company was splitting off and moving country.

it seems weird to say a mainstream social media platform cult following.

I agree the word choice is a bit odd. I meant in the sense that Twitter had a dedicated userbase that used it a lot and sort of glorified it. You weren’t talking with your friends or posting online, you were “Tweeting at your mutuals”. The most succinct way I could put it was “cult”, in the same sense that movies and TV have “cult” followings: a dedicated group that enjoys and bases some part of their personality around it.

By compound tariffs, do you mean extra tariff fees due to repeated trips across the border in the manufacturing process?

It depends on what you mean my positive light but generally I would say you’re wrong. Twitter had a dedicated fan base well into this decade and was where every business and personality had an account for a reason. Yes people knew of negative social media effecta but Twitter definitely had a fairly wide spread cult following.
