I'm a contractor that goes to tons of houses every week. The Maple MAGA crowd hasn't gone away, they're just quieter now with all this 51st state BS. I used to have to deflect a ton of MAGA propaganda when i went to customers houses, now people seem to just turn off FOX news when i walk through the living room, or test the waters with vague comments about Carney. I try to steer the conversation away from politics and towards literally anything else. Pro tip, people love talking about their pets.

Thanks I'll look into this tonight. I'm still trying to wrap my head around dockers and containers etc. I think I've a pretty good handle on it now, but it still hurts my brain after a while.

I was actually just reading about VPS'. So would I run into problems if I was torrenting on the VPS? My plan was originally to have my phone always connected to my network (I stream a lot of music at work and sometimes torrent on my phone, then upload the files to my server) and just set up my server on a vpn, but I really wasn't sure that was possible or practical.

I've been running a home server at home running CasaOS for a few months now. I use a wireguard vpn to remote in to use Jellyfin on my phone etc. Basically i want to know if there's a way i can both hide my public IP (such as using a conventional vpn for torrenting) while still being able to remote in to my server?

I've been thinking of running running all my network traffic through my server and setting up some sort of firewall too, but I'm fairly new to this as this was originally just a project I did out of spite after getting rid of Spotify. I'm fairly green when it comes to networking and servers, but I'm otherwise pretty good with computers and can muddle my way through most things.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I feel like this could have been a great episode, if it wasn't a documentary and was just written as a normal episode. Most of the quirks of the documentary really distracted me and I felt like they got in the way a bit.

I really like this slightly more chill La'an. John de Lancie was not expected. So If Trelane is now implied to be Q jr, is this episode supposed to take place before we see him in Voyagers Q2? He does come off as more of an immature teen in voyager, whereas in this and in TOS he's quite more childish, especially when he's challenged in both Trelane episodes.

I do look forward to seeing Erika do more than just "Fly the ship," but I really wish it was literally anything other than the exact same thin La'an has been dealing with. She's talked about being on the Klingon front a lot, why not tie it into that. I do like seeing a slightly more chill La'an and really think her and Spock pair together well as friends, but I do hope they don't throw in more romance at spock with her.

Maybe we could get Captain Una? New ship and she could take the crew that we don't see in TOS with her. Possibly have Kirk and crew crossovers.

I didn't realize how truely frustrated I was with windows until I switched a few months ago. I realize now that most of my recent windows troubleshooting was trying to make windows stop doing things I didn't want it to. Now most of my Linux troubleshooting is just learning how to get Linux to do things I actually want it to do, which is actually quite satisfying.

Same. Haven't had any problems.

I switched over about 2 months ago after I couldn't get an older game to play after a windows update and kinda just rage quit Windows. It was building for a while, but in the end it was just a little thing that brought it tumbling down. Game worked perfectly fine with proton without any problems or tinkering. I've only had trouble getting a couple games working, and neither are big deal breakers.

Yeah. I bought it at least 5 years ago as well for fairly cheap. I ended switching a few years ago because I had problems with my IP leaking, customer service wouldn't back to me, and I noticed the canary page went blank, so I assumed that something happened to them.

Haha. I too switched to Linux Mint last week. So far no regrets. I've actually enjoyed making everything I need to work. Especially because it seems to work better that on the operating system it was designed for. Strange.
