what if computers were jello and the Internet was a zebra

Glorified dotfiles for Arch written by a notable racist guy

We all are until we aren’t. Good documentation goes a long way and gost has extensive documentation and examples for every option it has. It helped a lot in figuring out how to use the tool and I was very excited when I finally got it working!

Not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic, but I’m not particularly smart on this matter, just persistent in trying to get things to work. I used to use rathole but came around to GOST as a replacement for several reasons. I don’t think Pangolin was around yet when I made the switch.

I rent a free tier oracle vm that does nothing more than tunnel traffic using GOST. Ports 80/443/25 and a control port that my homelab can connect to to establish the tunnel. No ports open at my house, public IP is the cloud VM, and the raw encrypted tcp traffic is tunneled through whatever NAT shenanigans my ISP might have and straight into Caddy within a docker (podman) network. I’m pretty happy with it and it works well!

It’s a single binary and can parse a config file or command line parameters. If I ever switch public VM providers, it’s a single binary download and a systemd service file. Switch my DNS records to the new VM and I’m completely done. And since my homelab establishes the connection to the VM’s port, I don’t have to reconfigure anything if I move buildings, switch providers, get stuck behind NAT, or can’t open ports.

Way too many comments for me to see if it’s been said already, but have you looked into cybersecurity, networking, and identity management? They’re all in the same realm and seem less prone to ai hype layoffs and such.

But my fear, acquired from Reddit, is that people are going to read this guy’s totally inaccurate presentation of my argument and then every comment in the rest of the discussion will proceed as if that’s what I said.

Difficult as it is, I have to remind myself that the people who do this are not my target audience. They are swayed by the wind like blades of grass. Even if I convince them, they will be unconvinced by next week. The people who my words can affect are the people who bother to read what was actually said.

If I feel the need to reply, a very simple “that’s not what I said but okay” and block them and move on. If they want to respond, anything they say will be longer than that sentence and the people who aren’t invested will gloss over it and move on. And the people who are invested will go back and reread what I originally said. Or at least that’s what I tell myself as I open up TikTok to look at videos of cats chattering and possums loudly cronching on grapes or whatever cute shit they’re up to.

With steam you have to manually add a non-Steam game to library. It’s not on par with the integration GOG Galaxy offers.

I love Symfonium so much it’s such a stellar app that’s actively developed and very customizable. It was so so so worth the $5 or $10 I paid for it.

* Not a doctor or professional, just rambling as a lay person *

Brains are complex, but seem to boil down to input in, output out. The inputs are sensory stimuli (sights, smells, etc) as well as various hormone and other chemical levels in your body and brain. The outputs are things you think and do.

The brain will use chemicals like dopamine and serotonin to encourage behaviors. Dopamine acts like the “remember that thing? ohh that would be really good right now” messenger chemical, and serotonin is the feel good reward messenger chemical when the task completes.

Those chemicals have to actually attach to receivers in cells to work, and other chemicals can take their spot under certain conditions (this is why caffeine keeps most people from getting sleepier — it takes up the space that the “we’re getting tired” messenger chemical would otherwise attach to).

* Again, not a doctor or professional, just rambling. *

But If I had to guess, some part of that process is not working as expected in your brain. Dopamine not being produced when it should be, or serotonin not attaching when it should be, or something like that. If you also experience symptoms of ADHD or depression and/or your symptoms impede your life or otherwise bother you, you should consider seeing a psychiatrist to narrow down what’s actually happening and find possible solutions.

I think it also has integrations for some other things too, so you can use it to launch all your games from various launchers instead of remembering which games are on which launchers and opening each one to search for the game you want to play. It centralized your games into one spot which can be nice.

Taking this as an opportunity to share my hatred for American Standard urinals. Those pieces of shit are optimized to maximize splashback and their wall-to-floor ones were cooked up by the devil itself to make sure bathrooms have piss all over the floor when you use the urinal. I fucking hate American Standard urinals they’re fucking awful. Shout-out the fancy waterless round ones though. I don’t remember the name of that company but I love their urinals they work great and I rarely get any splashback at all from any height.

I think rathole is unmaintained. It hasn’t been updated in forever and basic features like proxy protocol are just sitting there waiting for a new release to make them available. I ended up replacing rathole with gost and I actually like it better. I can run an identical setup to rathole with straightforward command line parameters instead of a config file (though a config file can also be used).

I run one of these free cloud vms as a reverse proxy for my reverse proxy. It runs rathole, which my homelab rathole client connects to, and it patches traffic through ports 80/443 into my homelab to my caddy container. My home ip is never made public and I don’t have to forward any ports at home or worry about traversing NAT. It’s a neat setup, but rathole hasn’t been updated in some time and I’m looking to replace it with an actively developed alternative like gost or connet.

For me, having a large water bottle within arms reach at all times is what helped me start staying hydrated. I used to use gallons of water from the store and refill them until I felt it was time for a new one, but now I have a nice 64oz water bottle. Importantly for me, I don’t like sucking on a straw to drink water. It’s too much work and too slow. I like my water just cooler than room temperature. Having that in arms reach at all times means every time I started feeling hungry, I could drink water because I was actually thirsty and it felt the same to me.

Almost every single deployment has failed lmao

Edit:

Oh my god they’re committing their .env with their “DiamondKey” (different from their API_STREAM_KEY) and they’ve committed TWO .exe files named agent.exe and agent.exe~. They’re also looking for strategic partnerships who should reach out via Discord(???) and Gmail. Their quickstart includes only two things: a link to unpublished docs and the sentence “We recommend datalix for cheap and highly avaliable [sic] vps’ses [sic]” (no closing punctuation like a period, despite that being common throughout the readme). You can tell very obviously which parts were written by the person behind this project and which were generated by an LLM.

Edit 2:

Their 1.0.1-alpha.1 - Syncronizing [sic] versioning - Minor Changes commit rewrites like the entire project??? Very obviously an ai slop project by some teenager who had an idea far beyond their skill level and decided to use ai instead of building up their skills over several years and changing the scope of their project to be a building block towards their idea that helps them develop the knowledge they would actually need to develop a project like this. They’ll realize at some point that they’re in over their head and that fancy code generators don’t magically fix that; I’d be surprised if this project is still being worked on by the end of the year.

Every car you’ve ever seen on the road is electric and has digital components. Electric vehicles just use a direct drive motor powered by a battery instead of powered by gas combustion. Your 2026 lifted F250 is just as digital as your 2012 used Nissan Leaf.

The killswitches in question would apply to all new vehicles, not just electric ones. The US version of the law makes no provisions for remote shutdown, only for something akin to a passive breathalyzer. “Obviously once that’s in place it can be used to manufacture car accidents” your brain is conspiracy poisoned and you’re listening to talking points from the likes of Ron Desantis. Please take a break from the internet and go enjoy your local park.

You say they’re going to, but EVs already exist and are pretty damn popular, especially hybrids. What makes you think that EVs are going to monitor people beyond what regular license plate tracking already does? What kind of killswitch? This sounds like fearmongering.
