⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this safe to use?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

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

The best way to find groups is actually lemmyverse.net/communities . All individual servers are missing other communities due to de-feds or lack of federation. While I can’t say numerically how comprehensive Lemmyverse is, it’s a lot better than any instance I’ve tried.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m going to disagree on this one, I’ve seem far too many comments, especially from LW users, along the lines of “I can’t be bothered to change websites because I’m already settled in.” Most people are attached to their posts and content and consider moving instance as “losing progress”. And the bigger an instance is the harder it’ll be to leave if they ever pull something seriously “power trippy” that could lock off content to some people.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There are various reasons people may treat you as if you’re younger. I would bet the primary reason is no matter how much you think you’ve grown up, those changes have to be seen outwardly for a while before people that knew you as a kid will accept it. It took until 24 or 25 before I felt people had stopped treating me with kid hands. Keep in mind as well that as people get older, younger people start blending together a bit and a 20 year old does not seem as mature from a 30-40’s perspective. It’s similar to how younger people often have a hard time telling apart old people’s ages and they all seem “old”. The final point I’d make is that swearing isn’t something all adults do and is not related to maturity. It can be a sign of familiarity between certain people though. Swearing around family members is either something that comes with time or never, really depends on your parents/relatives.

Trying to push these issues in an “I’m a big boy now!” manner will generally backfire and get you treated young for longer, because it’s a very childish thing to do. I am not all-knowing so I don’t like giving absolute advice, but personally I think the best thing you can do is not worry so much about it and continue acting in a responsible manner. If you show yourself to be mature, others will realise and treat you as such. If they don’t then either you’re not as mature as you think or you should find someone who you can have a more level conversation with. It’s not so bad being young, anyway, you will miss it when people always look at you like an adult!

Plenty of mature adults are furries and are treated as adults. This is not helpful advice.

Good point, I imagine you’re right! I haven’t shopped many VPS services, I was venting about the general practice I’ve seen in other services before.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which VPS do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Not uncommon really. Bring in customers at the cheap tier and then once they’re in your ecosystem overcharge for the higher tiers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I played this when it came out because some people were hyping it up. It’s solid and a fun game, but I didn’t feel it brought anything whatsoever to the table that other shooters hadn’t brought 15 years ago. It isn’t even the first free game to provide a similar experience. Not surprised it isn’t holding players.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not sure I agree with “tolerating” keyboard. I quite like it over a joystick! The benefit in complex games (like RTS, as you mention) is obvious, but even in most 3D games I prefer the instant reaction and definite axis of WASD over the fine-tunable precision of a joystick. There are not many times I would rather move at 2° forwards-right at a ramping 95% speed instead of simply moving forwards at 100% instantly. As for racing or other games that require precise analog inputs, I would generally prefer something that is bigger than my thumb i.e a racing wheel.

That isn’t to say I completely disagree, though! The ergonomics are a clear disadvantage. Most keyboards are not ergonomic for typing, let alone gaming. It would be fantastic to see more gaming-specialised keypad devices other than that one Razor one and whatever Chinese Amazon specials are kicking around. But the keypad format is not something I would want to forego as any FPS I play for more than 20 hours I usually have the entire left half of the keyboard bound to something for quick access.

I upvoted you because this is a great discussion point. :)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Can you not? I’ve played various third person combat games (are they all part of “hack n slash”?) with a mouse just fine. I do prefer controller, but there’s nothing wrong with using a kb/mouse in most of those games. Is Dark Souls control scheme really that bad?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Per their original comment, they aren’t saying mouse is bad. Their problem is with the keyboard.

… we merely tolerate keyboard as a gaming input device because of the precision that mouse provides

Why are you bringing up the mouse again?

Whatever you do, don’t use Steam reviews/scores on adult games to make your decision. I mean, if it’s Mixed then it’s probably bad, but there is an immense amount of 97% Positive games that are low effort tile puzzle asset flips/copy-paste jobs.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stop⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Honestly a large amount of people would take a vegan option if it tasted the same, had the same texture, was as cheap or cheaper than meat, was as accessible, and didn’t require learning a new skill set.

And businesses would stop burning fossil fuels if renewables had the same portability, same output, were cheaper, available everywhere, and didn’t require learning a new skill set. They can still be criticised for doing so, I’m not sure what your point here is?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you trust Valve? Honest criticism of Steam.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Better alternatives? That is highly subjective. Itch’s store-front experience sucks balls and they lack 98% of the features Steam has. I appreciate their existence and have bought games from them, but language like that will only serve to alienate people that know how much Itch lacks in features compared to Steam.

Instead of up/down buttons you would have a set of buttons such as “Agree”, “Disagree”, “Funny”, “Useful”, etcetera. The only website I know of that still uses these is Ravelry.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post upvotes are like github stars⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
While it is easy to fall into this trap of disagree downvotes, they should really not be used that way. All that does is turn them into a popularity contest. Downvotes should be used on comments that do not improve the thread. This may be because they are wrong, made in bad faith, rude, or otherwise, but not simply because you disagree. Ideally we would have different buttons for this like the forums of old, but no one seems interested in that nowadays.

I agree with most of your points, but “anti physically and mentally disabled”? Really? Your source describes how they reuploaded unsubtitled lectures for the sake of preservation. This is hardly a villanous move and has nothing to do with “not caring about deaf people”. Let’s keep the arguments honest, you have plenty else to stick them with that’s actually substantial.
