Here’s some flame bait:

Why would you want to listen to your music in this inferior format? I get it if there aren’t any modern recordings or quality transfers but to actually sit down and enjoy the low signal to noise ratio of a record just boggles the mind.

But those companies have paid good money to politicians for that privilege. You can’t expect them to have to follow the rules. To quote Jafar from Aladdin, “You ever heard of the golden rule? Whoever has the gold makes the rules.”

I figured this was coming, saw quite a few YouTubers recommending their product so I figured it was going to be a bait and switch. You don’t spend that much on marketing just to give your product away.

I already do use firewall rules, this is just an extra step I take to segment things which also serves to make it a bit easier for me to remember certain addresses. It is entirely unnecessary, but I like it this way.

Let’s say I have a static IPv4: 72.235.228.162

And IPv6 block: 2660:1100:45f0:c17:: /60

What I do is set up a Virtual IP in OPNSense and give it the address 2660:1100:45f0:c171:72:235:228:162

Then I set up the firewall rules for that IP.

Then I NAT 1:1 that IP to the NGINX VM’s IP and now the Internet doesn’t need to know about it.

I use NAT on IPv6 so that I control which IP address is exposed. I’ve got /60 and all of my home devices are assigned unique IPs. What I like to do is set up a V6 address that uses the same numbers as my static V4 address and NAT that to my NGINX box, basically using the router assigned V6 as a “local” address.

NAT certainly exists in IPV6, I use it on my home network for my nginx proxy VM. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to change the IP on the host so I do NAT on my router. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I gave up because it wasn’t really necessary for me. I have a /29 plus I can open ports so I just decided to set up an SMTP relay on my VPS because my ISP blocks outbound on port 25. I can still do inbound on port 25 so no issues receiving emails. It actually might benefit you to have an SMTP relay on the VPS to properly route the outbound email if you don’t want to have two Wireguard tunnels running.

One quick tip for your email setup - you want to set up routing rules (not NAT). I struggled with this for quite a while before I eventually gave up though. I started to write a tutorial but it remains unfinished. Check it out, might be helpful for you. https://github.com/madeofstown/Wireguard-VPS-Port-Forward

For me, it was a combination of things. I was already an evening user of cannabis and had just started bowling regularly with some friends ( a few of which were smokers). Drinking and bowling go hand in hand and I got curious when my friends went out for smoke breaks so I decided to go with them. First couple times you smoke you get a really nice head-high and don’t really even think about how easy it is to get addicted. By the time that little head-high no longer happens it’s too late and you are addicted.

That’s like putting all your porn in a desktop folder labeled “Sexually Explicit Images”

Do you know how much a library membership costs where you are? Are you unable to rent movies at your public library? BitTorrent covers the majority of my needs but when I can’t find that older movie online I can usually find it at my public library.

When you rip your own you get to control the quality, which I think is the best part, but I suppose if you needed to rip 100s of movies a year it would become a chore. The thing is that the majority of new movies and TV can easily be found on BitTorrent, so I would only need to rent and rip a few obscure or older films in a year, and those could probably be found at the library.

Paying for a piracy service kind of defeats the purpose for me. At $100 per year I would rather rent the movies and rip them myself.

So let’s continue to allow some people to have more than enough while others have none. No sense in trying since @SeaJ@lemm.ee said it could not happen.

I will never stop seeding the Gnome Mobile as long as I can help it!

Really makes me think of the movie “Her”. I’ve wanted a T-shirt with a dedicated phone pocket since that movie but this tech seems like a better option.
