    • Modi vs INDIA election
    • Smart pivot to service sector
    • Tata steel
    • Lots of languages
    • Diverse nature

    Going to be a superpower soon if they manage to create a robust middle class and get some nice institutions up and running. India is doing good but it’s hard to manage a country on that scale without being, like, China.





  • Maybe be more specific?

    For traveling I would suggest a laptop to behave as a server but the IP address changes a lot when traveling.

    I’d personally opt for something hosted at home if possible like Nextcloud and Jellyfin with static IP and port forwarding to access on the go.

    Tbh though, if you just want storage on the go buying a portable 1-4TB drive that connects via USB-C is enough.


  • It depends on the addiction but for me it’s improving everything else. Bad mental health makes it very hard to deal with addiction. Here’s a couple of things to try:

    • Proper sleep. Don’t sacrifice sleep unless it’s really important (e.g. feeding baby).
    • Exercise
    • Eat more healthy. (If not sure where to start then stop eating sugar, limit flour, alcohol and processed food).
    • Socialise at least the minimum you need. (Your milage and methods may vary).

    It my experience the above plus a reason to quit does the trick. Weekly yoga classes, regular 8h sleep and not buying sweets is the easiest way to meet the criteria I know about.


  • I started using docker myself for stuff at home and I really liked it. You can create a setup that’s easy to reproduce or just download.

    Easy to manage via docker CLI, one liner to run on startup unless stopped, tons of stuff made for docker becomes available. For non docker things you can always login to the container.

    Tasks such as running, updating, stopping, listing active servers, finding out what ports are being used and automation are all easy imo.

    You probably have something else you use for some/all of these tasks but docker makes all this available to non-sysadmin people and even has GUI for people who like clicking their mouse.

    I think next time you find something that provides a docker compose file you should try it. :)


  • Yeah, not arguing that, it doesn’t cost them extra to allow those. Still, you can use 8080, 8989, 5000, 7878 etc, for plex, Jellyfin, nextcloud and so on.

    You can even workaround it by using cloudflare functions that forward requests to your specific port, DNS it to cloudflare and run a commercial webapp out of your garage anyway.*
