Please check my setup.
  • I’m not very familiar with either option. I’ll look into both of them. I think cloudflare tunnels have bandwidth limits though and I’ll be hosting jellyfin, so it might eat through the bandwidth quickly.

  • Thanks! Last time I checked cloudflare had bandwidth limits. My primary uses for it may use a decent amount of bandwidth as I’ll be hosting jellyfin as well as my backup solution.

  • I have a small homelab that is not open to the internet. I am considering the following setup. Please let me know if there are any glaring issues or if I am over complicating things.

    • I want to setup a reverse proxy in the cloud that will also act as a certificate authority. (I want to limit who can access the server to a small group of people.)

    • I will setup a vpn from a raspberry pi in my home to the reverse proxy in the cloud.

    • The traffic will pass from the raspberry pi vpn to my homelab.

    I am not sure if I need the raspberry pi. I like the cloud as the reverse proxy as I do not have a static IP. I would just get a cheap vps from hetzner or something like that.

    Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more
  • Every time I’ve tried to understand passkeys I either don’t get it and it’s scary to potentially be locked out or I do understand it and I still find it scary to potentially be locked out.

    Even 2fa is tricky.

    If my phone is stolen and I don’t have my laptop with backup codes, then I’m not getting into my accounts.

    What if both are stolen or damaged at the same time?

    Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today
  • This is going to have a much bigger impact on the third would countries.

    Most people here are not going to buy a new computer there are tons of people who buy second hand laptops that are old to be able to afford them.

    Additionally people are not tech savvy and don’t understand the implication of this. When they see an ad that says to buy a new computer, they are going to dismiss it the same way they dismiss all the other ads online telling them to buy stuff.

    Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears
  • The app was really good and I’d be willing to pay for it, but not a subscription just to use features that are already in the app.

    Additionally, it’s a scanner app, who scans enough to subscribe to a scanner app but doesn’t scan enough to not just buy a scanner?

    What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • Well not every game is for everybody. This just might not be for you.

    Without knowing you better, I’d advise things like.

    • take it slow, there is no rush to do anything.

    • it’s ok to sleep early if you can think of something to do.

    • you can really lose in this game.

    TAS Explained: Super Mario Bros. 3 in 0.2 seconds
  • TAS stands for tool assisted speedrun.

    TAS is cool as people can use it to find the most optimal way to finish a game. Sometimes tricks are too hard for people to do or at least they are believed to be to hard for people to do. Sometimes TAS “only” tricks end up being done by people.

    What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • Stardew Valley.

    Its revolver has continuously released huge updates for free and has commuted to never charging for dlc.

    The games mechanics are pretty great and nothing in the game requires too much grinding to get.

    Even when you “finish” the game, there are still things to do and starting a new files is always fun.

    The characters are all great and have unique personalities. It really makes you feel like you are part of the town.

    My wife and I have over 400 hours on a single file. It’s also enjoyable starting a new file. I like to challenge myself to see how quickly I can do certain objectives in the game.

    It’s also decently cheap and has a huge community behind it.

    There's now a third studio boasting Disco Elysium veterans trying to follow up the beloved RPG—here with a spiritual successor 'psychogeographic RPG' [UPDATE: now 4 studios]
  • Well that’s just like your opinion, man.

    But i think it was a pretty unique game with an interesting art style.

    It also had a well written story with unique characters that left an impression.

    I’d played it for a few nights before my wife asked me what show I was watching.

    She just heard all the dialog and through cuno was annoying.

    The water has waves!
  • I remembered having trouble the first time a tried n64 at toys r us.

    I couldn’t walk in a straight line easily.

    I agree with you about ps2. I remember thinking that things could not get much better from that point on.
