“Robodebt of medicine” seems like one of the worst metaphors ever conceived.

I know we’ve said it before but THIS year is definitely going to be the year of desktop Linux!

Nice to see a judge with a heart

I mean… they’re not totally wrong.

Well, they sit just outside the DMZ.

No need to be top secret when no one can stop you and you’ve made it almost impossible to live outside the system.

No idea but there are new and exciting torrent technologies being worked on all the time. Things like DHT nodes or turning off anonymous mode can affect speeds. Your other clients may have different settings enabled or disabled or may not have implemented new protocols.

Can you just give gluetun the wrong info for you vpn server and see if transmission still works?

Figma balls, that is

Nice can you send me the link when you make the torrent?

Well first I’d try turning off pi hole on the server avenue see if it fixes the issue, even though it’s unlikely as pihole should be handling dns requests for your whole network anyway.

Usually with this setup you only need to place your torrent/Usenet download client behind the VPN. Use a container like gluetun and make your download client container a service of gluetun so it only connects though gluetun. The rest of your stack can just access the internet normally.

There should be more info in the jellyseer log file, have a look in your docker directory or have a play with the “docker logs” command and try to recreate the issue. If you kill your jellyseer container then start it

You have to scroll for miles to reach different sections.

You’ll be better off trying to get a proper network attached storage (NAS) rather than an enclosure. Either buy a pre-made one or make one out of parts. That way you can use the network speeds. Or you could get a usb3 pcie card, they are very cheap these days.

Does your “old computer” have usb3 or usb c? If not you’ll find it very slow to access all that data over usb 2

Yes it is

wow didn’t even think of that. embarrassing :(

You can use a “+” symbol to make simple sub-aliases that all get sent to your normal email. If my email is me@domain.com any email sent to me+anything.example@domain.com will be sent to the inbox of me@domain.com but the email address is was sent to will be listed at me+anything.example@domain.com. Bitwarden can do this automatically when you generate a login.

If your email alias is ever leaked or gets used for spam you can just block all emails going to that alias.

I guess it just yanks my chain to have to limit the way I live (or use more expensive “green” options) when I know the major polluters are doing nothing of the sort and only make steps towards renewables or green options when it directly benifits them with lowered costs or a better public image.

I understand that change happens in small increments and spending money on green alternatives will guide the market but it is annoying that it falls to the ones who are smart enough to understand the dangers and caring enough to do anything about.

I know a couple who make coffee at home every morning and put it in a disposable cup with a plastic lid. New cup every day. They aren’t callous, they’re just not smart people. And their reward is to not worry about the the things we do.

End rant

Really? Anything? Do you care what they had for breakfast? Or if they went to the dentist? Would it matter if their partner had a hip replacement?.

I think it was a slow news day wherever the author works.

We’ll what do you want to do on your server? Why not just get the same one again?
