  • My Favorite Self-Hosted Apps Launched in 2025

  • Yeah, I just finished migrating everything, and it's very cool. I'm going to give the clients a spin at some point. It would be cool to be able to map a network folder from my NAS even though I'm away from my home network for example.

    I access most of my services via their domain address when at home anyway. Ideally, I'd have some kind of local DNS that would see those domain requests and route them locally, but I've never really found a practical solution to that. It feels like I'd be maintaining two reverse proxies to get that done.

  • So for services that already have a means of authentication, do you leave them unprotected by Pangolin? Take, Jellyfin, I have that set up to be accessible at a subdomain, and I imagine it wouldn't work correctly if Pangolin was attempting to perform some kind of authentication step before connecting to the resource.

    So far I like it, but the "authentication" part seems like something I wouldn't really be using. But getting my box at home connected to the VPS was a sinch, and I love that. I might add my NAS to it so I can put a client on my laptop so I can access it remotely to map shared drives and such.

  • We started with a balance bike for our oldest. Balancing is the hardest part. You could probably simulatea balance bike by lowering the seat and taking the training wheels off. They push with their feet to get speed then when they feel confident they can balance they should put their feet on the pedals and just glide for as long as they can. Once that feels good they can add pedaling in.

  • Brace is…. A good writer?

  • You would think that my ADHD would work similarly but I have the opposite reaction when I have headphones in, which is I become anxious that I'm not hearing something or someone I need to, and thus missing something important or forcing someone to get my attention. Naturally I already have this issue, so its like a doubling effect.

  • Yeah that sounds nice. I already use a VPS for this, but I would love to put other devices on the VPN with the vps for different services and such.

  • Brace is…. A good writer?

    Jump

  • This is a great read. I also didn't know any of that background information about Brace. Since I've started reading more, I've been consuming a lot less podcasts. The kids have an aversion to them as well, they call them "stories" and I don't fight them over it. I just subject them to my music which to them is just as bad, but sometimes we vibe and it's all good. I think reading and not mindlessly listening to a podcast has built a wall up between me and these creators. Which is good. I care a lot less about what is happening online. His breif point about hating silence in real. I fight against it regularly. I've come to like silence, or at least some appropriate background music.

    I still don't understand how people just walk around with earbuds in constantly listening to something. I'll see people driving with ear buds in and I have convinced myself that they simply find it to cumbersome to take them out and store them. I know they're listening to something through. I tried this once with headphones and found the experience terrifying. Never again.

    The way he lays out the history of podcasts and is interaction of the political landscape I feel rings true. I was very much a listener of This American Life in podcast form. I tried starting a podcast around that time which suffered from a rapidly growing arms race in the fandom I was building it for. I'm glad I stopped trying to maintain an archive of that on the internet. I'm very sure it was wildly problematic by today's standards. Seeing where those people ended up makes me think I dodged a bullet by giving up on the project.

    Anyway. I'd read a lot more of this kind of stuff from Brice. It's good, really good.

  • I've been playing flotsam and it's fun! Just a neat little survival city builder set in a water world scenario. The survivors have "stories" about who they were pre-flood and post-flood. It gives them skills and preferences. One of my survivors was a flat earther, another was a water solminer!

  • Finally got some snow! I feel like we don't get snow like we used too. As a follow up to last week, my boss is very much in the same frame of mind as me. He's going to talk with administration (he's also a certified administrator) and see if he can promote a more conscious frame of thinking around the cameras in the building. The whole team is basically on the same page actually, which is good!

  • Are we still taking about Pluribus? I just finished ep 6.

    Jump

  • Sure but that was a rat brain with rat memories. I think it will reveal that the rules stem from human thought. They admit they didn't know people would die. We also know that they cannot lie but they can lie by omission.

    The whole do no harm policy is really flimsy as plot device. It's either part of the virus, which doesn't make sense based on your point, or it's a manifestation of the joining stemming from human thinking, which is also silly since humans have been eating plants for all of time.

  • Are we still taking about Pluribus? I just finished ep 6.

    Jump

  • They can't do harm I think is the hitch. That means operations that cause pain and require some form of recovery. Their biological imperative allows them to infect people in harmless ways. Like kissing.

  • Are we still taking about Pluribus? I just finished ep 6.

    Jump

  • That last part is very grim and would be more shocking then eating people I think. I think they would carry it to term but they won't reproduce because of the fact that they are starving. That fits right into their no harm policy.

  • Are we still taking about Pluribus? I just finished ep 6.

    Jump

  • No they sent themselves. That's what the ham radio guy discovered but doesn't know it yet. They have a biological imperative to spread, and so they built a device on the last planet they infected to broadcast their genome sequence in hopes that they ultimately continue to spread and exist somewhere else.

    The big reveal will likely be that this virus was engineered by advanced space communists who "never stopped to ask of they should". Engineered with biological rules that "sound good on paper but fail in practice"

    The antihero will have to break their biological programing to restore their individualism. In doing so she creates a population that knows everything about everyone and everything but can act and work independently as individuals. Because everyone knows everyone and everything from everyone's perspective, they finally have true empathy for everyone. She'll still be left in isolation, only knowing what she knows and never having this experience herself, but her stubbornness and commitment to individuality will have created world harmony or some shit. She will live out her life with her companion on the new global earth commune.

  • Are we still taking about Pluribus? I just finished ep 6.

    Jump

  • Yeah it's not consistent either I feel. Why did they dig the grave of they can't harm any living thing? Wouldn't that have harmed the grass? The line has to be drawn some where. Do single celled organisms count as "living things"? Its not even an awful thing theyre doing, it's an incredibly silly thing. They won't even build robots to farm for them because that's harm by proxy. It reads a lot more like "This is the logical terminating point of your silly kumbaya ideology and why it ultimately fails"

  • But the dude in Vegas is having sex constantly? Or is the reveal going to be that he's actually never had sex with them. They need his stem cells to infect him, can't you get that from many sources, not just bone marrow?

    Seems unlikely to me considering how much of a point they make about their biological imperative.

  • So state-capitalism is socialism?

    Jump

  • Socialism is the transitional phase between capitalism and communism. In places like Russia at the time of their revolution they did not have an industrial base when compared to places like Europe. There was still peasant farming for example. The NEP was Lenin's attempt to build that base. Similar lessons were learned in China.
