You've got ghosts in your blood. Better do cocaine about it.

Years ago I was talking with a pregnant coworker about our families. We got onto the subject of how quiet I am. She said "I would hate it if my daughter turned out to be like you." I was just stunned tbh. Like damn, I can't help it that I'm quiet. Why is that such a bad thing?

And once again I'm unwillingly reminded that the Berserk horse is a thing.

I had a coworker that was heavily into this stuff. She got breast cancer and decided to go this route. If she isn't dead she most likely will be soon. The last I heard it wasn't pretty. She was in her early 30s.

I don't have an answer and it is the one thing I am truly afraid of. As an autistic man in this society I have come to the conclusion that I will most likely be alone in the future. Developing relationships of any kind is extremely difficult for me. Right now I'm ok because I have family that are still alive and want to care for me. But when they die where will I be? I've fully accepted that I may die by suicide in my 50s due to loneliness.

If not an outright ban then a soft ban is likely. There are already many apps/websites that don't allow VPN traffic. It may get to the point where we have to self-host our own VPNs through a VPS or something like that.

Welp, time to stock up on some older routers or make my own. This country is looking more Orwellian by the day.

"Intellectual stimulation"...yes...yes, I think I like that

Just wanted to say thanks for making me aware of pangolin. I got it up and running! This is so awesome, I can't believe it exists.

Damn. Thanks for this I'll look into it.

I've been using Arch (btw) for a few months now and have been really enjoying it. I am scared that something is going to break though. I have Timeshift and BorgBase backups but I would rather not deal with that tbh. I haven't tried Debian yet but I think I might make it my next distro. However, it's going to be really hard to give up the AUR and Arch wiki.

 

I just finished setting up my own Jellyfin server. Lately I've been getting into using open source software and this weekend I thought it would be nice to self host on an old thinkpad I had from my college days. There were a few roadblocks I encountered, but ultimately I got it working. Now with the Finamp/Jellyfin app I can have a Spotify/Netflix-like experience completely free (well minus the domain name cost). I highly recommend it if you have been thinking about doing it for a while like I was. I'm so glad we have open source software like Lemmy and Jellyfin available to us.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who suggested not using Cloudflare tunnels. I'm sure they would have got me eventually. I am now successfully running Jellyfin with Pangolin and couldn't be happier.
