- Comment on Is anyone still playing Command and Conquer Generals (+ Zero Hour)? 3 days ago:
I haven’t played it in forever, but I put a ton of time into it long ago. My friend and I would play matches as a team and one of us would play the Chinese general with the neutron artillery shell. As soon as we could, we’d build one and force shell one of each of our dozers, then take the others, so both of us could build everything from both of our factions. The Contra mod is also really great!

- Comment on Paradox announce Stellaris: Season 08, with Stellaris: The Machine Age launching May 7th 4 weeks ago:
Man, I’m the same way. FOMO backfires on me. I miss out on one Season and then I kinda don’t want to play that game anymore. I used to absolutely love Sea of Thieves, but I haven’t played it in ages because of the way they locked story content to a season. Now if I go back and play I’ll have missed out on a chunk of the setting’s story

I debated packing up my stuff and driving a couple hours to Mena, but I’m not sure the weather is going to be any better there…

- Comment on Always for my cat 5 weeks ago:
My cat has this little sparkly heart-shaped most that is her absolutely favorite toy, but she kept losing it. I finally undid the stitching on one side, such a Tile tracker inside, and stitched it back up. Now whenever she loses it I can just hit a button on my phone and find it for her!

That’s actually super smart. I use scroll lock (also bound to a mouse button)

I just spent about $350 building a home media server, and while we’re still subscribed to most of these streaming services, I don’t even check around to see where a show is anymore, I just have Sonarr get it for me

No, state filing is $15. Still way cheaper than TurboTax
- Comment on IRS has launched its free tax filing service, Direct File, in 12 states 2 months ago:
Switch to FreeTaxUSA. The name makes it sound shady as all get out, but it’s legit, easier than TurboTax, and cheaper. Free to file federal and $15 for state.

- Comment on Noob having fun with Self-Hosting story 2 months ago:
Nice! Glad to hear that works. I’ll have to give it another go. I had spent the whole day trying to get Mullvad (without WireGuard) working, but it kept failing to create the tun device, so by the time I got it working with WireGuard I didn’t really feel like trying to figure out the VLAN thing too lol.
- Comment on Noob having fun with Self-Hosting story 2 months ago:
Ugh, I wish I could be more help on that, but I couldn’t get Mullvad to work that way either. I think what needs to be done is to use pfsense or something to create a virtual LAN, set the container running Mullvad to be the gateway on that network, then give each container a virtual network bridge connected to that virtual network. What I ended up doing was just installing Mullvad (through WireGuard) on the same container as qBitTorrent and telling qBitTorrent to use the virtual network device that Mullvad creates.
Fortunately, that’s the only thing that really needs to run through it for me (I think your Real Debrid will need to as well). AFAIK, the *arr stuff doesn’t need to be hidden.
As to getting things to talk to each other in containers, where were you having trouble? You should just be able to give all the *arr stuff the addresses where you reach the other ones. That may just be their IP address, or I run PiHole so I can have a local DNS and give them all their own hostnames. - Comment on Noob having fun with Self-Hosting story 2 months ago:
I’ve been working on the same thing over the past month, with some minor differences. I skipped portainer and am just running LXCs on Proxmox, and built it from the beginning as a *arr/Plex box, so it has 4x4TB internal drives in ZFS RAID6, with the OS on an SSD. I still need to try out the TrueNAS thing, but I’m running a Minecraft server on it, and I just spent the better part of a day figuring out how to run Mullvad on it and force all my torrent traffic to use it.

This is exactly it. It’s really sad to see so many people here buying into it. Reddit, sure, but I genuinely thought people here would be a little more resistant to propaganda

Ah, yeah, I’m running Proxmox. And I’m definitely seeing I have a lot of research to do before I open up to the internet!

I’d love to hear more about your Authelia setup. I’m using Authentik, but placing to do the same thing. I haven’t opened my server up to the Internet yet (just built it on Friday), but what I’d like to do is have a webserver that supplies a login page, and you can’t access anything else until you’ve logged in
