I bet my hand to the fire that Bill Gates didn’t eat avocado toast and made coffee at home and that’s why he is a billionaire today.

And it is still true today. Windows has the lion share of the market because we were raised with Windows and the vast majority of people don’t want to learn a new OS.

Socialism is the means of production owned by the state or the workers.
Communism is a subset of socialism, where you have a classless society. Different communist doctrines have a different view on how to achieve that.

Capitalism created this expectation. That’s how corpos operate. Capture the market then bleed it.

Cable TV was originally paid for so that channels wouldn’t need to play ads to be profitable. We know how this ended.
Steaming services were originally paid for so that they wouldn’t have to run ads to nlbe profitable. And we’re almost back to where cable TV is. Soon, all plans will have ads no matter how premium is a plan.
Fuck that noise

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

I am a newbie so I am not sure I understand correctly. Tell me if my understanding is good.
Your Pi-Hole act as your DNS, so the VPS use the pi-hole through the tunnel to check for the translation IP, as set through the DNS directive in the wg file. For example, my pi-hole is at 10.0.20.5, so the DNS will be that address.
On the local side, the pi-hole is the DNS for all the services on that subnet and each service automatically populate their host name on pi-hole. I can configure the DNS server in my router/firewall (OPNSense in my case)
So when I ping service.example.com, it goes through the VPS, which queries the pi-hole through the tunnel and translates the address to the local subnet IP if applicable.
So when I have the wg connection active and my pi-hole is the DNS, every web request will go through the pi-hole. If the IP address is inside the range of AllowedIPs, the connection will go through the tunnel to the service, otherwise, the connection will go through outside the wg tunnel.
Does that make sense?

How does WG work on the local side of the network? Do you need to connect each VM/CT to the wireguard instance?
I am currently setting up my home network again, and my VPS will tunnel through my home network and NPM will be run locally on the local VLAN for services and redirect from there.
I wonder if there is any advantage to run NPM on the VPS instead of locally?

It is a lot simpler nowadays. Download Caddy, put a 2 line config and you are good to go.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 2 weeks ago:
D4 is objectively a worst game than LE, I agree. But in my situation, when I play looter, I play D4 because I can get right in. I haven’t played this season, but in 2 mins I could be logged in and on my way to do what I like in D4.
D3 already had adventure mode, so the MMO argument is not valid. D4 iterated on that.
In D4, once you’ve unlocked everything in a realm (hardcore or softcore), the unlocks that matter (skill points, obols and paragon) are forever unlocked in or out of season. You don’t need to do renown unless you want the gp reward and the xp boost. It does not block your character to be at its strongest, unlike LE where I need all the totem slots and passive points in the campaign for each char.
I have 150ish hours in both, thoughI haven’t played LE in a while because I don’t have the will to go through the campaign again and the performance isn’t that great. Though it’s mostly because of the campaign. The performance is just another friction to add to that.
To get the skip in LE, I need to get to act 5, skip to act 9 and complete the quests for totems and passives. I need the keys for the dungeon skips as well.
You can start monoliths after your specialization, but you’ll be level 20ish for level 58 content. So you either twink (not possible on the first character of the season), need to know your build extremely well and still do the campaign rewards after that.
In D4, I create my char, jump in the game, do the introductory mission for the season event and play the game as I want.
LE game loop, just like PoE and D4, is what keep people coming in, and the LE get in the way of that for a lot of people. I play looters for the loot, as the genre implies, not the milquetoast story that I am forced to play.
D4 has got the mechanic right for that and other looters could iterate and benefit from the mechanic.

The campaign is long for what it is. The time travel adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 2 weeks ago:
Let’s take D4. For all its flaw, you can start a character without having to re-find all the Lilith statues and nothing is locked behind the campaign.
You venture out in hell tides or do a few dungeons to unlock some legendary aspect right off the bat.
This is what I want with Last Epoch. The campaign is essential because it unlocks totem slots and passive points. Taking an hour and a half of content (probably more if you don’t have as much experience as you) I don’t want to do just so I can start playing my character as I want is not fun.
I only have an hour a night max, every few other nights, so these 2-3 hours to “start” a character is 2-3 nights for me.
When a new season start in D4, I name my character, assign my 10 skill points and go do whatever I want. It it takes a min and I’m started and I don’t need prior equipment to do so.

I know that skip, but it’s not a real solution. Why is it a problem to let people enjoy the gameplay loop without forcing them to go through the pacing of the story?

Last Epoch needs to let us skip the campaign once it has been done once.
I do not play these games for the dogshit story, I want to kill stuff and get new loot and the story gets in the way of that.
Same thing with PoE (haven’t tried PoE2). I don’t want to have to rush 5-6 hours on a new char just to get through the dog shit story.
Diablo 3 fixed that a decade ago. Shouldn’t be that fucking hard.

I totally agree with you then.

Salmon pink is a real color. But I think it refers to the cooked salmon, and not raw salmon.
