6 inches
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 4 days ago:
Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.
So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.
I’m in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.
- Comment on Star Trek systems should use IPv6 1 week ago:
You could assign 100 billion addresses to each bacteria on planet Earth with IPv6
Holy shit this is such an insane number
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 2 weeks ago:
So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it’s still in development.
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 2 weeks ago:
Functionally, it’s the right thing I’m looking for, but it’s not polished enough to fulfill my needs.
If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it’d be a winner.
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.
- Comment on What's a good HTPC OS and software? 2 weeks ago:
Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don’t have phones.
I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote

Do you use steam big picture mode?
I’d prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.
I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that’d be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts

Currently marked as “Overwhelmingly negative” with 17% positive reviews.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 5 weeks ago:
Correct, only the server owner needs the pass.
This has caused a lot of controversy because it was a free feature since Plex started and they’re now locking it behind a subscription.
- Comment on Blue Shield of California shared the private health data of millions with Google for years 1 month ago:
That’s a huge HIPAA violation. Can’t wait to see them get a slap on the wrist.
- Comment on Android phones will soon reboot if they’re locked for a few days 1 month ago:
It makes it harder for law enforcement or others to access the phone without knowing the pin

If you’re on Android, there’s nzb360. The dev is awesome.

- Comment on What host names do you use? 2 months ago:
I name my devices after greek gods based on what I’m going in life at the time or after what their purpose is.
I named my first gaming PC “Poseidon” when I was doing ship related work. Now it’s my server.
My gaming PC is “Asclepius”, the Greek god of healing. Built when I got into healthcare.
Hermes, god of messeges, is my lil pi that helps with routing (pihole, pivpn, nginx).
My HTPC is Dionysus, Greek god of wine and parties.
My thinkpad is Persephone cus it looks good but doesn’t do much. I might rename it.
The services that I run on these are just named “device-service” e.g. hermes-nginx

The movie was really well done. It’s a simpler animation style so don’t expect Pixar level stuff, but the story and art direction are great.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
For the services already hosted by the VPS, I just point service.web.site to the appropriate localhost:port.
My hiccup is that the VPN software (pivpn) gives me an internal IP for the clients but pointing Nginx to that IP doesn’t work.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
Network config confuses the hell out of me.
haha same 🥲
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
which IP are you trying to obfuscate with a VPN?
My goal was to hide my home IP by routing everything through the VPS. The VPN is hosted on the VPS.
Why don’t you just host your public services on the VPS, and whatever else private on your home equipment.
The VPS is 1 core and 35 GB of storage. I host several websites and some game serves on my home server.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
The goal is to route the services through the VPN and point Nginx to them… but it doesn’t work.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
The VPN is hosted on the VPS, which I rent and have full control of. It’s my own VPN between my devices.
The intent is to put my VPS between my services and the outside world so that it doesn’t expose my home IP.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
I think you got it reversed. I want the container traffic to go through the VPN to the VPS and I want the reverse proxy on the VPS to point to that container.
I want the website (hosted at my house) to be accessible through the VPS so my IP isn’t directly exposed.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 3 months ago:
Nginx was already set up and working before. I have some sites hosted directly on the VPS as well.
I’m just not sure how to make a website go to a VPN client

- Comment on Experience with refurbished and recertified HDDs? 3 months ago:
I’m using 4 refurbished drives in my server. My first one is showing early signs of failing after three years of being my main torrenting/plex drive.
The other three are new (to me) and are an upgrade from the failing one.
I’d say if the prices are decent, and it includes a year warranty, it doesn’t sound like a bad deal. Just make sure to back it up.

microcenter.com/…/intel-core-i7-12700k,-msi-z790-…
If you’re near a Microcenter, this makes an excellent deal. 12700K bundled with mobo and 16 GB RAM.
I got this bundle and it’s been amazing. I use my single machine for all services due to space constraints. The CPU never goes beyond 30%. The downside is it uses DDR4 so you’re still on older hardware. Still completely viable for everyday use.

This is not as good a deal but it’s available for shipping. RAM isn’t included.
- Comment on Minecraft server hardware benchmarks 3 months ago:
I ran a modded server on an i5-4690K for about 5 people and never noticed any hiccups. The CPU was almost always maxed out due to other things (Frigate camera transcoding, Plex streaming, torrenting) and it ran fine.
How many people will be playing and will there be lots of mods?
- Comment on Maker builds cool Raspberry Pi Home dashboard with an old touchscreen monitor 3 months ago:
Cool article but the Dell monitor they used is way more than necessary. You can reuse an old laptop screen for fairly cheap and add an IR touch panel to it.

You can use Molly, a fork of Signal for android. It offers an alternative for push notifications.
