  • How do you deal with spending money for (unnecessary) luxuries?

    Jump

  • It’s not a bad problem to have, TBH. The thing that stood out to me is what you consider “not necessary.” Other than this, you seem to have figured out a sensible budget, and you’re prioritizing your future self. I have the same thoughts whenever I make a large purchase, and sometimes they win out. Sometimes they don’t. The thing is do you feel like your frugality is keeping you from something, or negatively impacting your life?

  • To Lemmy people who came from reddit: Have you guys tried other fedi software like mastodon or sharkey?

    Jump

  • Same here. I don’t mind microblogging, but I find it hard to find good content to follow on Mastodon. Also not a fan of my feed being filled with replies. Not having the thread right there for context is distracting and annoying.

    No idea what sharkey is. Don’t really care to find out.

  • Why did you join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Same as everyone else, I came over with the API refugees. I still lurk on Reddit using Brave (that and YT are the only things I use Brave for) because some communities there are still good fountains of information. I don’t post or vote on anything there, though.

    Still have Apollo on my phone though.

  • Which of your most fucked up exes tried to come back to your life in the most fucked up way?

    Jump

  • Given the story about OP’s exam, I read the “F-“ & “B-“ as grades and thought:

    • “F-“ as a verb. I like it.
    • “B-“ as a noun? Given the “F-“, it fits.
    • ”B-“ for OP’s ex is… generous.

  • Setting up VPS (finally)

    Jump

  • NGL, it’s scary! I still haven’t put anything of consequence on the VPS. Right now, I have everything on 1 system going through swag. I’ve long been a proponent of not fixing what isn’t broken, so I might look for a way to scale my current setup to more than the one system.

    I host a couple of small services for more than just me, but I have no plans to provide any cloud services to anyone else but my wife (if she wants).

    Thanks for the story, though. Sorry you went through that. I’ve been lucky so far. I’m hoping things stay that way, but obviously trying to plan for when they don’t!

    FWIW, I went with purelymail, and it’s been pretty good. Basic, but solid.

  • I was thinking about this the other day. Awhile back I was talking to my mom about, I think his name is Haberman? There was an article about him awhile back that, among other things, took issue with him doing ads for athletic greens. She said she doesn’t hold that against podcasters since they have to pay the bills like anyone else. The article’s issue was that, given his background, he would know better that AG1 is basically placebo - that to get the advertised benefits, one would need to drink a prohibitive amount. While I hate ads, I also like not paying for some things. I don’t care that Robert Evans does Better Help ads. He’s not a psychologist or psychiatrist, so I know he’s just reading ad copy to “pay the bills.” I would have a larger problem if the hosts of Maintenance Phase did this. They’re also not professionals in those fields, but they have researched them pretty extensively; so I would expect them to know better.

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • You make it clear that you don’t like new things. You really need to recognize that this makes it difficult for your loved ones to buy you gifts. I’m old enough that I generally don’t want anything for Christmas or my birthday. I have enough stuff. What I want is time to spend with the people I love. That doesn’t mean I refuse gifts or complain about them, because a gift means that someone saw something that made them think of you; and they bought it for you to celebrate your relationship. So even if it’s a bad gift, it’s coming from a good place.

  • The simplest answer is usually the right one. Especially with TFG.

  • People who used to vape or smoke, how did you / what made you eventually quit?

    Jump

  • New Year’s Eve, a number of years ago. Wife and I went to a bar with some friends and rang in the New Year. I think she and I maybe smoked a pack between the two of us that night. Next day, both of us felt sick to our stomachs. Really nauseous, and just terrible. We didn’t get that drunk, so it wasn’t a bad hangover or anything. Anyway, just the thought of a cigarette made both of us even more nauseous. Flash forward a week, and neither one of us had spoken about not having smoked, and we didn’t want another cigarette. A week later, wife confirmed to me that she hadn’t had any at work. I said the same to her. Years later, we haven’t had any either.

    Now we’re “ex-smokers,” who I think are the worst for smokers to be around. We’re hyper-sensitive to the smell and smoky rooms.

  • What is a thing you can fix with another thing that is not the intended thing, but it's actually better than the intended thing in some senses?

  • Route outgoing traffic of a docker bridge network through VPN

    Jump

  • So I got back to my server, and here's what I do:

    gluetun settings:

     
        
services:
  gluetun:
*snip*
    ports:
*snip*
      - 8090:8090 # port for qbittorrent
*snip*

    qbittorrent (in the same compose.yml):

     
        
  qbittorrent:
    image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: qbittorrent
    environment:
*snip*
      - WEBUI_PORT=8090
*snip*
    network_mode: service:gluetun # run on the vpn network
    depends_on:
      gluetun:
        condition: service_healthy
*snip*

    Also, in qbittorrent settings you can bind it to a network device. In my case it's "tun0." This same thing can probably be done w/ a docker network in a gluetun container and separate containers that rely on that network being up, but I haven't looked into it. Right now, I have 2 other services that require VPN, and I'm looking at possibly 1 or 2 more. That's pretty manageable as a single stack, I think.
