“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.

Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It’s like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)

This is it for me. In particular as my hobbies shifted to self hosting, linux, and my own privacy, I find that lemmy is an incredible source of info and insight. But I’m not really here to meet or follow individuals as much as I am things that interest me.

Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn’t realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.

Makes sense! Thanks for saving me some time and money. I have gig internet as is so I know both my router and switch can handle it. Should be good with what I’ve got then for a while. Thank you kindly :))

I generally do prefer containers. But I’ll be sure to stick to them as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!

Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, having a clear upgrade path was a big part of this. Just being able to move forward when needed without replacing stuff for a bit.

I’ll have to look at jellyfin I haven’t dug too deep on the media host yet. Thanks for the heads up :))

Looks like 4 sata headers. So prolly gonna grab some hdds.

As for my network. I have a decent router, though I can’t remember the model at the moment. I’m using a 1gig switch at the moment to split everything through my network. I’m planning to get that upgraded to a 10g next.

It can be. I’m actually headed there in 4 days. Tickets this time around were definitely higher than usual but I managed to get them for $940 ish. Not ideal since the whole family is going and my bank account is hurting. Also not ideal was having to choose a 3am flight with a trash layover in dfw… but fingers crossed cheap shopping while were there makes up for it.

Speaking of plane tickets. As a man who flies to Korea to visit family every other year or so.

1. Always brows tickets in incognito. Airlines may change rates based on whether you’re a return visitor to their site and not having cookies can help.

2. Start with Google flights. This will give you an idea of when (what days and times) tickets are cheapest. Though generally Tuesday or Thursday are the answer.

3. Once you have your time frame use kayak or some other ticket agregator. This will let you find the airline and flight that you want.

4. Take that flight number and time and go directly to the airlines website. Aggregate sites like kayak rates are generally slightly higher that the airline because they gotta make dollars somehow.

5. Though not always I’ve found that some foreign Airlines charge native fliers less. E.g. if you’re flying Korea air change .Com in your web address to .kr. This makes the site in Korean but Google translate page can help here

It’s a bit of a process but I generally pay less than 1,000 round trip for flight to Korea and I live in a state with no international airport so I always have layovers.

Speaking of layovers. Use them. See a cheap ticket but it has a 24 hour layover in Paris? Fuck it, that’s a day in Paris :). Just be aware that you need roughly 3 hours in customs depending on your destination. So a 5 hour layover is gonna be a boring 5 hours. Long enough to wait, not long enough to do anything.

Bonus tip!! If you have good credit. Look for a credit card that offers a huge bonus or mile’s up front then immediately cash those in for a cheaper flight. Side note though on the ones that give you 5% cash back or whatever. You always have to book through them and it’s almost always, in my experience, like 5% more expensive. Fuck you Chase.

Eyy! That got it! I think I’m still going to set up nginx to make it easier as I add more self hosts so I’m not trying to memorize everything’s port. Thank you kindly for your time!

Do you happen to know how I would find what port it’s on and where I would change it? My Pi-hole actually defaulted to /admin, and when using my Searx instance I never had to use a port, so I’m not entirely sure where that info would be.

I’m interested in how I would do this. Google basically just gives me steps for assigning IPs to VMs which isnt quite what I’m looking for.

Got it, thank you kindly :)

Ignore my ignorance here. You’re talking about something like Nginx?

Do something active that allows for conversation. Things like movies are trash for a first date. You can’t talk, there’s no way to get to know the other person.

Something like a park, or a light hike is ideal. You get to experience something together in a conversational atmosphere. Where I grew up there’s a nice park by the river. It’s well lit, safe, and relatively public; while still being a beautiful place to visit. It helps everyone involved feel safe and gives ample time to chat and see the sights.

Honestly, it chose me in some ways. Started out working at a hotel. Worked my way up to Front Office Manager… Realized that job was ass with almost no mobility. Yes, you have a lot of options, but they’re all similar and hotel guests are basically children.

Friend of mine suggested I do a remote Tech Support job where he worked. Took a small paycut for better hours and work from home. Been promoted 4 times since, same company. I now do Business Analytics. Still problem solving but now for dollars instead of tech. It has its days, but I work from home, get good benefits and the pay is above average, soooo pretty good overall.
