  • Everyone warns about the dangers of doomscrolling.

    I understand why.

    I’ve spent countless nights doing it myself.

    You start with innocent news updates.

    Then suddenly it’s political outrage.

    Then celebrity scandals.

    Then conspiracy theories.

    Then more outrage.

    But nothing signals rock bottom quite like ending up on LinkedIn at 3 AM.

    That moment when you’re mindlessly consuming “I’m humbled to announce” posts.

    That realization when you catch yourself envying someone’s “career journey” update.

    That horror when you almost comment “Congrats on this amazing achievement!” on a stranger’s certification post.

    This is the final stage of digital despair.

    The algorithm has won.

    Tomorrow I’ll be better.

    (But we both know I won’t)

  • Classics aka why are you complaining:

    • "Back in my day the job market was also tough“
    • "When I was applying for a job I had to send out 120 handwritten applications“
    • "When I made one mistake on the typewriter I had to rewrite the entire cover letter“

    They also almost had a heart attack when I took a couple months after college to interview because they didn’t understand that there’s like 5-7 interview rounds on average.

    And when I told them I have an offer they were like "wow accept immediately otherwise they’ll rescind it“. And when I told them that I’ll just use that offer as leverage for other potential offers they thought I‘m delusional and acting entitled lol


  • I’ve read a lot about using a VPS with reverse proxy but I’m kind of a noob in that area. How exactly does that protect my machine? Couldn’t an attacker with access to the VPS still harm my local machine? Currently I’m just using a WireGuard tunnel to log into my server, from what I understand you’d tunnel the service from the VPS to the homeserver and then on the VPS URL you could watch right m?

    And do I understand correctly that since we’re using the reverse proxy the possible attack surface just from finding the domain would be limited to the web interface of e.g. Jellyfin?

    Sorry for the chaotic & potentially stupid questions, I’m just really a confused beginner in this area.


  • OP that’s a killer list of books you’ve read. IMO you have a point. To all the people who say that you’d be alienated from watching old movies, that method acting is important and that special effects of the last 20 years are what makes it different, idk. It really depends on what you’re looking for.

    Hitchcock movies or the stuff with Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, even the super racist Italo Western movies, the very old Kubrick stuff, that’s all great cinema.

    I’m as left wing as it gets but I also get very alienated by the “diversity” and “feminism“ modern Hollywood & Netflix cinema. It’s the same type of diversity and feminism that exists in corporate, where there is diversity in terms of ethnicity and sexuality, but only within class. It’s a fictional world to me the same way the old movies are, just done by a different bunch of people living in their own world.

    There’s still some good cinema and good shows out there every now and then, but to think old movies can’t compete with modern TV & cinema just because they’re old is a very simplistic take.
