• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked 1 and 2. Got bored for the prequel and 3 early on.

  Tiny Tinas I did play and really enjoyed that game. It felt like a reasonable advancement over BL 1 and 2. It felt like they stagnated for a bit and raised the bar slightly with Tinas.

  I really wanted an MMO style Borderlands with 4, and I wouldn’t value 4 any higher than Tinas launch price. But I am interested in what the game has to offer.

  Trying to get navidrome routed through Traefik.

  I think it’s rejecting it as an untrusted proxy because forwarding the ports locally works.

  Also working on getting Traefik up and running on a TuringPi cluster to eventually move my workloads over to it.
