After playing with shaders in retroarch on amoled, I will never be able to go back to LCD. Otherwise it looks pretty cool.

I may be assuming here, but I did not see it mentioned.

With the setup you have it will not work. Just having a public IP does not tell your router what internal device and port to send the traffic to and your router is not going to allow this. You would need to forward that port internally into your network.

However, DO NOT DO THIS! You do not want to allow traffic from the public internet into your computer. You are asking for trouble.

I am going to solution this without ever having done it, so cut me some slack.

You should look at something like tailscale. Tailscale allows you to create a custom wire guard vpn that allows you to connect to a device running tailscale from the public internet. I think you can have 3 account for free. Once connected to tailscale, you will see devices on the tailscale network and their relative IPs to the tailscale network. Connect to that IP and port and that should allow you to connect.

I did the same thing when I started self hosting. I followed some guides that recommended all these tools. The more I learned, the more I realized I hardly used some of the stuff but when I disabled them it broke the stuff I did use. That’s when I took the time to wipe my system and build from the ground up, but this time actually understand what I was doing and not just blindly following guides.

Good luck!

I don’t think you’re crazy. Sometimes when my shit gets bloated and I start getting confused about how things go together, I wipe everything and start fresh to refresh myself and organize better.

Came from Arch and OpenSuse. Fedora has been such a great switch. As I’ve gotten older and became a dad, my computer time at home is limited and I don’t have endless evenings to troubleshoot shit. Fedora has been stable for me for the last 4 years. I use the KDE spin.

That might be the case. But I have done a great job of reducing the power load of my server from 1200 watts down to 65 watts. And I am slowly trying to get the point that I can off load my servers to solar and battery. I live in a place with not so great of sun.

But I realize I didn’t include that in the original post. So, fair point and thanks for the info!

I would want to do a cluster. Just to learn how that works. But just thinking of the electricity cost, I would personally donate them.

I probably wouldn’t do it. I do have AI help at times, but it is more for bouncing ideas off of, and occasionally it’ll mention a library or tech stack I haven’t heard of that allegedly accomplishes what I’m looking to do. Then I go research the library or tech stack and determine if there is value.

This shit hurts me every time. I remember playing xbox360 in high school with my friends. I’m getting old.

I just moved from my aging 1080ti (which I might go back to) to an ampere RTX A4000 and I am getting the occasionally entire screen freeze and I have to restart to fix it.

I hope this addresses that.

I had an HP mini 110, which was a windows 7 basic netbook. My girlfriend (now wife) bought it for me during our senior year of high school. It was my first Linux machine (Ubuntu 11.10 netbook remix) and introduced me to the joys of trying to get unsupported Broadcom network cards to function.

That laptop also carried me through my first two years of pre-med before transitioning to software engineering.

Unfortunately, one day it decided to just turn off and never come back. That was one of the jankiest machines I ever had, and may have been my favorite computer I ever owned. I took it everywhere with me for 3 years.

I have such fond memories of my first new to me pentium 4.

I never used Plex. Up until my kids were born I used to just watch my videos on my desktop, but now I find myself watching on my phone and TV more often. My Jellyfin server has been super stable for the last 6 months or so running on a super low powered machine and external hard drive. The only issues I have is with movies with Dolby digital, they tend to get out of sync when scrubbing the timeline. I am assuming that is due to the lower power of the machine. But, I have a 400watt desktop with a 7th gen i7 and a pascal Quadro P1000 that I am planning on migrating to. Then adding a 20tb internal drive for storage. Hopefully that will resolve the small issues I have seen with it.

Good to know that in another 30 years, I will still be doing the dumb shit I've been doing for the last 20.

I use traefik. I like it. Took a bit to understand, but it has some cool options like ssl passthrough and middlewares for basic auth.

I use emacs when on my personal machines. VS Code at work.

The fastest tool is the one you are best at using. I find that my tool doesn't make me fast, my ability to solve issues makes me fast. I very rarely learn a new tool unless it accomplishes something for me my other tools do not.

For example, at work I use windows and regularly ssh to servers. My entire job is spent ssh'd into other servers. Emacs terminal emulator is spotty at best when using ssh on windows. There are ways to make it work, but some modifications get flagged by our SEIMs. So in that case I use vs code, and the ssh remote connection options and split terminal interface.

At home I use emacs. I have all Linux machines so my terminal plays nicely. I also am working on reducing my RSI from years of tech work. The less mousing I have to do, the better. Emacs allows me to keep my hands on my keyboard.

It's really a bummer seeing how much childish drama is in the Linux dev community.

I am not nearly a good enough dev to contribute to the Linux kernel, but I am working my way towards that point currently at night after my kids are in bed. Be the change and what not.

This is a good point. Generally if can accomplish what I want with my own scripts, I will go that route. I'll probably avoid adding additional software to the mix since what I have works fine enough.

I'll check it out! Thanks!

I run a Fedora server.

All of my apps are in docker containers set to restart unless stopped by me.

Then I run a cron job that is scheduled at like 3 or 4am that runs docker pull on all containers and restarts them. Then it runs all system updates and restarts the server.

Every week or so I just spot check to make sure it is still working. This has been my process for like 6 months without issue.
