They exist here in Australia too. Which is a Commonwealth country with lots of English influenced heritage and culture.

Star trek is notorious for having bad first seasons.

15+ years

Enshittification and masturbation.

These mines are going to be a problem for decades to come sadly.

Thousands of angry Muslims around the world demanding Sweden forbid such acts reacted by storming and burning the Swedish embassy in Iraq on July 20, for instance, as well as burning countless US, Israeli, Swedish and LGTBQ flags.

So they’re complaining about their symbols being burnt but they do exactly the same? Okay.

I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.

But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.

However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.

Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?

And how did that work out for them?

Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.

Done.

Now download ebooks from anywhere, import into calibre and sync to your Kindle.

I have the paper white touch screen one.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

That it was an invitation only club was entirely the point.

Yes this has been a game changer and would’ve been my advice too (but you posted before me).

Using a deluge container with vpn baked in is amazing. And also it makes setup so much easier. Instead of messing with tags and complicated configs I simply run a deluge docker container for each other app. My movies docker compose file starts up radarr and it’s own deluge and jacket etc. My television docker compose file starts up medusa, it’s own deluge, etc.

Provides for maximum flexibility. And put traefik in front of it all… so I go to “movies.mydomain.net” and can use radarr… or “television.mydomain.net” and it goes to medusa. Much more family friendly.

I only emulate old arcade games so I built the typical arcade sticks and buttons myself into my cabinet.

Cool. But what about tomorrow when he changes his mind again?

If Books Could Kill did a good podcast about The Five Love Languages: https://www.stitcher.com/show/if-books-could-kill/episode/the-5-love-languages-302265819

Maybe weekly then until it picks up.

No surprise to me. I was in the UK last month and it was quite hot and sunny for a while too. I’m Australian so out of habit just put on sunscreen all the time and kept reapplying occasionally while out.

I didn’t see a single other person using sunscreen. But saw a lot of lobster red faces and necks. In fact people seemed to go out of their way to expose as much skin as possible to get burnt.

Crazy to me.

You need a reverse proxy like nginx or traefik. Your mastodon server is using the web ports. Lemmy also wants to use the same ports. Obviously the can’t both use them.

The solution is to let neither use the ports and set them up on some other ports.

The reverse proxy is then set up as your main “web server”. It will then look at every request coming in and based on the domain name or url requested redirect (or rather forward or proxy) the request to the correct service… mastadon or Lemmy.

I run dozens of services on the same server. And use traefik to sit in front and manage it all.

I had a Commodore 64 and really really wanted an Amiga. Saw all the games for the Amiga and Atari ST in magazines and wept. It wasn’t really available in my country so I didn’t know anyone with one but even if it was available we wouldn’t have been able to afford it.

I was in the UK last month and went to the computer history museum in Cambridge. They have working versions of every single computer and console ever and you can play with them.

It was great nostalgia to use a ZX Spectrum, my trusty VIC-20 and C64 again. But there it was… An Amiga 500. I played a bit and the graphics and sounds still blew me away now in 2023 as a late 40s middle aged man. It was everything I dreamed it would be.

100% recommend.

Isn’t this why some of the US technology became so good? They would hear the new MIG aircraft could do some incredible new things (it couldn’t) but they went off designing and building aircraft in response to counter these just in case.
