HAHA yes of course of course. But it's not out of the realm of possibility if they show an interest in it. Ben does some really simple projects that an 8 yr old could tackle to get some real fundamental understanding of what's going on under the hood.

Well I do have a folder on my nas mapped to a lettered drive on windows. That's where I'm installing the VMs right now. I want a non VM installation, on the NAS itself, so I can basically boot up my PC from an installation that lives on the NAS.

To be honest a 1TB SATA ssd isnt that much, you could have 10 distros @ 100gb each with extra storage mounted on the nas. 100gb is loads for a Linux OS. I think most of the virtual machines I spin up without a GUI use a 20GB disk

You know, that is a really good point, I could have a few distros installed and have that take up less space than call of duty lol. I'll do some more research into the resources you've shared with me, just because I think it'd be cool. But I should be able to easily make space on one of the ssds on my main workstation.

wow that's wild. I've never even tried anything in those games engines because it's extremely overwhelming interface.

I love this. https://www.youtube.com/c/beneater ben eater does a lot of hardware stuff that may be of interest in this area.

I know that there's some pretty advanced lego stuff which is a great entry point as well.

Well, best DX by far is Ruby. So I guess on that front it's my favorite.

I'm using floorp atm and their workspaces is really lacking. Opera's is the closest to vivaldi's but opera kinda sucks. I'm sketching out a rough idea for a hacky extension that may be able to accomplish this that basically just synchronizes bookmarks with current tabs in the window.

I love vivaldi's tab stacking and yeah firefox doesn't even allow basic tab groups on the tab bar. I've grown to like sidebery even more though, and the infinite nesting is super ideal for how my brain works.

Rad!! This is excellent, thank you friend. I have a lot of 4k remuxes with dolby vision/hdr10 and atmos. Would this be able to handle that? I would want to just transcode down to 4k streaming quality, or 1080p if I'm not connected to a 4k screen.

real big peen energy here

I loved this one as well. Very true to the vibe of my first metroid, metroid II.

I'm on arch btw

decoding just means being able to actually read it right? I'm looking into figuring out how to transcode my 4k stuff for when I'm outside my network and my snyology 1621+ isn't up to the task I don't think.

I actually settled my email thing. I really just wanted an email masking/email aliasing service and proton pass has a really robust one built in. I believe it's SimpleLogin backed since Proton bought them recently. It's a great integration, now when I sign up for any website it genereates .@passmail.net or something like that. Turns out lots of the premier pw managers have integration with email masking now.

Thanks a million for all your advice! I think I have a solid way forward for my double nat issue. I have a solid basis for research on this now. You rock :)

Wow, that's incredible! I figured it would be much more expensive so I never really looked into it.

Well off the top do you have any reliable VPS recommendations? I think that would solve all the issues I have in regards to my double NAT. I have a synology 1621+ with a pretty weak CPU. And my whole library is in 4k, lots of remuxes as well. It may not be able to handle it lol. Poor thing. Even so, 1tb would be more than sufficient in 99% of circumstances.

I was considering a VPS! That said, if I'm say, accessing my jellyfin library externally through a VPS, wouldn't that just end up costing ludicrous amounts of money?

I don't use Arch btw ;)

I didn't think so. I discovered SimpleLogin and Fastmail though and these are more than sufficient for what I want. They cost money but I think it's worthwhile

Appreciate your input :)

Proton mail allows catchall with a paid plan, the least expensive of which is about $4/mo. They have an excellent reputation. But then there's fastmail which is like, all of this batteries included, including bitwarden integration for auto creating the email aliases. And it's cheaper. Well, guess I've got some research to do. Thanks for the guidance, you're really helpful :)

I'm behind a double nat and my ip situation is liable to change. I finally got duckduckemail working. So far it's free but you never know when the enshittification will begin. It seems unlimited but who knows, maybe it's a hidden limit. I may have to look into awsses or something like that and see if I can set up catchall as well. That would probably be better because with ddg email it's a random string for the email address, so I'd have to cross reference with my bitward setup if I started getting spammed. With a catchall I should be able to just set the email to @myemail.com. I just think with my ISP situation, self hosting email server would probably not work too well. It could also really screw me over if my NAS loses power or something

Do you have any knowledge on services that will let me use my domain as a catchall but use their servers for emails? I've done some very light research but am not familiar whether this setup would be even possible in the first place.

Thanks! Do you have a static IP or anything? I'm behind a double NAT and my ISP is really restrictive. They don't even let me use port forwarding on the suplied ont/router

You need to pay for an email service or? I do have my own domain. Bitwarden has catchall functionality builtin! https://i.imgur.com/JEXOrnI.png
