What hobbies or volunteer work require creative problem solving from lots of different areas? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Came here for this. You can basically use LARP as an excuse to further almost any creative hobby. For PAX Unplugged I made a LARP Escape Room, and that was an excuse for me to learn how to use Arduino controllers and wire hardware in order to make a robot puzzle for the event.

when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It depends on how many versions I am away from the latest, and how much I've messed with the distro.

Usually I stay on an Ubuntu LTS and upgrade from LTS to LTS when that upgrade path is ready. I upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 this way.

But this time I wanted Pipewire in 24.04, and didn't want to wait for a 22.04 to 24.04 upgrade to be ready. I'm using a bluetooth headset and Pulseaudio is pretty terrible at switching headset profiles. Between not wanting to upgrade an upgraded install, and having messed with Pulseaudio quite a bit trying to get it working, I went ahead and clean installed 24.04 and moved some configs over.

Are there any EV cars without any "technology"? in c/[email protected]

You might want to look into taking an older car and paying to get someone to install a conversion kit. If you have an existing car you could see if there's a compatible kit that'll save you some money.

There seems to be some confusion here.

Docker - what use is it? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

So it's always going to be used for technical things, but not necessarily development things. I use it for both.

For my home server setup I have docker setup like this:

  1. A VPN docker container
  2. A transmission (bittorrent client) container, using the VPN's network
  3. An nginx (web server) container, which provides access to the transmission container
  4. A 3proxy socks proxy container, using the VPN's network
  5. A tor client container
  6. A 3proxy socks proxy container, using the tor container's network

Usually it's pretty hard to say "these specific programs and only these should run over my VPN". Docker makes that easy. I can just attach containers to the same network as my VPN container, and their traffic will all go over the VPN. And then with my socks proxies I can selectively put my browser traffic over either the VPN or Tor, using extensions like FoxyProxy. I watch wrestling through my vpn because it's cheaper overseas and has better streaming options, so I have those specific sites set to route through my VPN socks proxy. And I have all onion links set to go through my Tor proxy.
