Wtf?

Don’t suppose you could give a quick run-down on that process? I’m needing to do it have have been struggling with the available documentation.

British flag or Australian flag?

I will spin this up as soon as it’s able to connect to and pull my youtube/twitch/rss feeds without maintaining them manually. I’ve spent enough time in homeassistant to know a timesink when I see one.

I’m just here to lurk and see what others say, as I’ve used Calibre in the past and it didn’t really do the job I was hoping it would.

I recently migrated my Plex server to a box running Proxmox with Plex in an LXC container. Very little resource overhead, and it’s been rock solid ever since. No ragrets.

I may be on my own with this, but shouldn’t the portmanteau start with denim (the fabric used) instead of jeans (a specific item made with that fabric)? I get that people already use the word jorts, and maybe some of these items actually are jeans converted into shorts, but I’d bet the vast, vast majority are just shorts made of denim, so are ‘denim shorts’, or ‘dorts’. #makedortsgreatagain

This author seems pretty comfortable mocking the concept of games being addictive.

Loot boxes need to stop for sure, but things like limited-time content are 100% designed to form habits and ultimately feed gaming addiction. Season passes or weekly achievements require you to log on and grind out challenges at regular intervals to avoid missing out on rewards that are required for competitive play.

I know plenty of people who have had to make an active choice to stop playing certain games because they found they couldn’t play the game ‘on their own terms’. It sucks as an adult, but kids without fully developed brains capable of rational thinking would stand no chance.

There are a few people saying that a synology NAS may not do everything you’d ever want, but there’s an underlying assumption there that you should run everything on a single device. There’s value in isolating functions to their dedicated device, especially when the alternative means a guaranteed compromise.

I would also like to see something like this. Either this or the reverse, where my organizr calendar is synced to my Google calendar. But from memory the devs aren’t interested.

The advice I’ve read (and implemented myself) is to not so much run a block list, but an allow list. So first things first, have a rule to block all connections, then have overriding rules to allow connections using criteria you would deem safe. If you know someone needs to access the server from the UK, include the UK on the allow list. Everything else can remain locked down until you have a reason to open it up to another country.
