  • Bear with me here, as I know sweet FA about docker containers, but am I right unthinking you only really use it in your container, as opposed to running it on whole devices, or your router? What’s the advantage of that?

  • I’ve used Mullvad for years, but the lack of port-forwarding is becoming a pain in the proverbial. I’d been considering OVPN, but does anyone have any experience with that, IVPN or Proton? What do you consider the better option?

  • YouTube have stepped up their blocking again. I used to be able to use Duck Player in librewolf on my laptop, as I still can in DDG browser on my phone, to view YouTube vids anonymously, but recently that has started ask for me to sign in “to prove I’m not a bot”. I guess that, like me, folks are trying to find content in the easier places like Perrtube first before looking to YouTube with its restrictions if what they’re after isn’t there.

  • Articles like this would get more effective if the author could suggest something, however small, that readers could do to try to change, or at least shine a light on this situation. I suppose that we, and especially those of us in Lib Dem constituencies, could ask our MPs to try to get this kind of this noticed in parliament.

  • Yeah, this will get me a lot closer to the methods I already have for doing things, if that makes sense. One if the main things about Macs is the “it just works” factor, and if I can get closer to that situation in Linux, all the better

  • Simulators, like x-plane or flightsim, and I think some driving sims can use lots of monitors. Like 4 monitors for the cockpit windows and another two for control panels etc. though you need a hench pc and graphics set up to do this at a decent frame rate

  • I’m going to have to watch that, based on the trailer. Really stupid in a great way. I accidentally watched Sharktopus the other day, and I need something to burn that out of my head, so this looks perfect

  • I suppose that they’re using all the available resources to build drones for the conflict, but I’d definitely choose a Ukrainian FPV drone over a DJI or other Chinese drone if they were commercially available, both to support the Ukrainian economy and to buy within Europe

    Recommend me a simple hub

    Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?

    Recommend me a steam deck game

    Hello peeps. Life’s thrown me some curve-balls recently, and I’d like a bit of an escape. Can anyone recommend a decent game in the vein of Skyrim, Fallout or Deus Ex/System Shock for the steam deck, that isn’t 25 or 30 quid please? Something on offer for less than a tenner would be ideal. I’m sure there are some great older RPGs out there that I’ve missed, the Deck is the first time I’ve got back into gaming for quite a few years, and while I’m sure I could quite happily just play Brotato for the next few years, I reckon there’s something a bit more immersive out there for me to find!

    Is the UK government going bankrupt?

    Probably worth a watch, and whether you agree with him or not, being aware of the economic situation here at the moment is probably prudent

    Help defining the genre of photography that interests me

    Hi all, I need a bit of help.

    I’m looking to get further down the rabbit hole of interesting photographers, but I struggle to define what I’m after. My general misanthropy extends into photography, people are almost always the least interesting thing in the frame to me. Why would you waste film on faces, when you could be taking interesting images of some nice concrete or rusty iron?!

    I love the work of Toshio Shibata, Bernd and Hilla Bescher, Bill Brandt, Danila Tkachenko, and GXAce on YouTube. The problem I have is that searching for “Urban” photographers brings up street stuff, “Architectural” ends up with folks who take pictures of whole buildings, “industrial” seems to lead to people who take photos for corporate websites, or urbexers (though some of those are verging on what I’m after). Constructed landscapes, textures, geometric shapes, and the juxtaposition of human artifice and nature, that’s my bag.

    Is there a term or genre that would connect all this? Or am I just goi

    Is there such a thing as a AAA thrower?

    I’ve got a little stainless Coast A5, which I love, but its beam pattern is very, very much inspection torch. Dead circular, even spread.

    Is there anything similar in body, but with a more every-day torch beam? I don’t really want some black knobbly military-cosplayer’s thing, I’m not too bothered about a built in charging port, I want minimal. I love the simple, smooth stainless body of the A5, it lives in my smart jacket pocket along with an elegant little pocket knife, I just wish it had a thrower-style beam.
