Wow that doesn’t look like Xqc at all, terrible job

For real! They’re coming for our kids!! Trying to teach them sexual health, and idk about you but nothing with the word “sex” in it is appropriate for my child! Oh the humanity, why can’t we go back to the good ole days when Catholic priests were given free reign to abuse children

I agree with you, companies only care as far as their bottom line goes. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that doing pride displays and showing support, even in superficial support, is a bad thing. And there is no such thing as moral consumption under capitalism, and the only solution is to move towards a more worker centric society and eliminate exploitation from these industries. It starts with how you use your vote and your voice, we should advocate for more people to get involved and active.

I struggle doing the things I want to do bc I feel like my energy is sapped up just trying to survive day to day, it’s at least comforting to know there are other people who feel alien to our normative society

Yeah I don’t know if it’s just the way text can be read, but that commenters comment is very uncalled for. I mean trans people didn’t ask to be made the forefront issue for all these political candidates and “news” stories. They were thrust into the spotlight by republicans and subsequently demonized as is the conservative way, I mean literally they use the same scare tactics as their gay scare culture war bullshit. Implying that people can be turned trans and that it doesn’t really exist but is a fad, just garden-variety bigotry that comes with their culture war bullshit. And your mad at this person pointing it out? Make it make sense

I’d be interested in stuff like this as well, thanks for your recommendations. I was hoping to find a blog or resource for MachineLearning and related topics, so if anyone knows of any please let me know!

bro your app is super stable as well! I was having a lot of crashes with Mlem, not to discredit their work they’ve got a cool multi profile feature that’s really nice. Appreciate your work!

This game looks interesting but also just kinda looks like a re-skin of Jedi Fallen order lol. Idk I wasn’t super captured by the combat in that game so I might pass on this unless reviews are hella good

I really appreciate all your input, its really helped me connect a few dots that needed connecting so I really do appreciate it my man. I’m aware of the OSI model and I was hoping my work with my homelab would help me understand better, but I’ve still got a ways to go. I really appreciate your explanations on Layer 2 and Layer 3, I understood the definitions but your explanation helps me connect the idea to real world examples. I also understood bridges somewhat but relating it to a switch makes it simple to understand and configure.

Thanks for the links as well, I will be messing around with this config tonight so I will be using your comments as a resource, so really, thank you! Can I ask for permission to PM you if I have any questions related to homelab/networking? You and I seem very similar in our scatterbrain-ness lol, so I figured it might make things easier if that makes sense. I will definitely be doing more reading and research, the first link you provided seems like an absolute blessing of a resource.

I also think the abundance of content is a part of the issue, but with no clear solution. People are bombarded with a thousand stories about a thousand different things going on in their country, the world, their city, etc… But we know that Humans can only reasonably maintain around 150-200 close personal relationships max that you would be able to converse with and empathize with and what not, Dunbars number. I think this is part of the problem why people see everything in black and white imo, there’s an abundance of information out there and our society currently is in a state where everyone has to have an opinion on every conceivable subject but that’s just not feasible. And when there’s so much information to parse through humans tend to group things together as we love our patterns. So if you believe an idea from this group of people, you must believe the 100 other possible interpretations of correlated subjects and what not, or at least that’s how people tend to view others expressing certain viewpoints. I struggle with this and people who espouse hateful ideas and disinformation against Trans people, a lot of people may not know any better or believe that there’s this widespread push to transition people as young as possible which just isn’t the case. It’s something I find hard to extend grace on, it feels morally wrong to prevent people from making informed decisions between themselves and their healthcare specialist and besides that it is such a tiny portion of the population to be focusing on when there are much bigger widespread issues that affect us all. But its also something I feel is fueled a bit by this same issue we are discussing, I’m honestly not sure how you would work against this besides smaller and more tight-knit communities but then you have echo chambers, not that it wasn’t a problem in some subreddits as well. Very interesting thing to think about! Love hearing everyones thoughts!

Hard agree, definitely feels more personable. People are making an effort to understand one another and people are collectively calling out the shitty things. Very nice change of pace

Oh boy, I hope this statement pisses off a lot of people and motivates them to extend the blackout. My only criticism of the blackout was that there was an end date, Reddit only has to wait it out temporarily in that case, but idk this statement is kinda ridiculous. I hope people take it as the spit in the face it is, who tf is getting violent over subreddits going private? no one, extend the blackout!

The original trilogy of AC games was my jam back in the day, very solid games, still a new concept at the time and not run into the ground. The story was super interesting too, lots of history imparted through the locale and story as well. If you haven’t played AC Odyssey, its the only AC game in the last few years that I genuinely enjoyed. It takes a new approach on the assassin gameplay by interspersing it with some genuine Arkham-Knight-like combat. Its open world too so you kinda choose your battles and can choose to go in hot and fast or slow and sneaky, lots of greek references and even famous philosophers and leaders of the time so a fun history lesson here and there as well. Genuinely recommend you take a look if you haven’t. I feel the same about the Arkham games though, Batman was never my favorite superhero anyhow

Yeah I could never get into MOBAs either. Weird thing is I thought my issue was with the control scheme and how abilities are assigned to number keys, but I picked up Diablo IV and I’ve gotta say I don’t mind it at all. Maybe its an implementation thing since Diablo is a very different type of game, but overall I agree with this. Also gives me overwatch vibes because everyone picks based off what their enemy team picks and get mald when your team isn’t 100% efficient. Not for me personally

Oh on my first point I misunderstood, this will not replace my router, it will only be used by my proxmox network

Dude this is awesome, thanks for your comment! It’s exactly the type of engagement I was hoping for, someone to help with a few key concepts. I’ll definitely be taking your advice to heart it sounds like you’ve been through the ringer with your own setup

I agree with you that running OPNsense in a VM is less than ideal but I figured as it would only affect my lab, I can deal with the occasional outage and this is more so I can learn first before going all in on a solution such as a netgate, I appreciate the suggestion there too. I’m not dead set on OPNsense I just figured a gui would be easier to navigate and it looked nice. I haven’t heard of suricata and mirroring WAN connection to pfsense, that definitely makes sense.

As for the VLANs I’m not dead set on that in particular either, the switch I have supported it and it made the most sense as to how to segment my network in that way. So you are saying you can also segment a LAN connection with just a firewall? It would make sense as you can set rules as to how a device can communicate with other devices on the network, is it rather cumbersome to set it up in that way? And on VLAN performance I would assume that would not be a problem as I am the only user who would be connecting to my media server, unless I had a bunch of services sending and receiving shitloads of data essentially?

I really appreciate all your help! You definitely sound like you’ve been doing this for a decade haha, very useful stuff. I might pop back and ask more questions later if you don’t mind

So you’re saying your services run on a separate subnet? 255.255.0.0? How would you connect from your home pc connected to your home WiFi? I assume have the vpn running on the machine on a different subnet and also have it running in front of the service, the vpn would give your home computer an IP on the /16 subnet range? Am I correct in that assumption?

I suppose I need to get OPNsense actually working and providing a different subnet in the first place before worrying about all this, I appreciate your input! I understand about exposing the WAN IP, I’m assuming VPN tunnel for those specific services would protect my WAN IP as it would just send all my traffic to the VPN provider and then out to the actual destination, again correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t think I understand how the actual routing would work, how to hook the services into nginx proxy manager and how to know which ports to close and what not, but I suppose I’m not at that step quite yet
