See? That just illustrates my point perfectly. I reckon Tarantino intentionally sets out to put people firmly on either side of the love/hate fence, with each film.

I’m a huge Tarantino fan and enjoyed every single one of his movies, except that one.

Are you including Jackie Brown in this assessment? Because that’s the one Tarantino film I’d never return to. Bored the shit out of me.

I can see how Once Upon a Time in Hollywood wouldn’t do it for a lot of people. The storyline was pretty bloody thin.

From memory, my wife and I had only just recently watched the Aquarius TV series (a few years after it was made) followed by Mindhunter (we were on a true crime kick back then), so the intersection with the Manson murders kept us hooked. Also, Tarantino using the same Aussie actor from Mindhunter to reprise the role of Manson felt like a really cool Easter egg.

But, that’s the thing about Tarantino - he’s always going to be polarizing. You either love or hate a given piece of his work, I guess.

First OS: MS-DOS, I reckon around v3 - was running on an IBM XT PC.

First Linux distro: Slackware, came on a CD-ROM on the front of a PC magazine.

I’d buy you a $15 book on critical thinking, so you could stop and consider that maybe not everyone is a native English speaker, and their syntax may vary.

Otherwise, you’re just making assumptions based on what someone has written. You know, like how many people might assume from your reply that you’re a massive dickhead. Just an assumption of course…

+1 for the channels you mentioned, plus I find Inheritance Machining is pretty good too. A goodish amount of dry wit (not as much as TOT, but often gets a smirk out of me), and I really appreciate how he incorporates his manual drawing into a lot of his videos, rather than CAD.

Clickpsring is by far my absolute favourite. I’ve been following him since the very start of the clock build, and loved every second of it. I like his 2nd channel too - Clickspring Clips - for the occasional 2-3min video brief of him making a single part.

Woodworking. I love it. Wood is such a warm medium to work with, and it’s a really easy hobby to get into, too. You don’t have to buy expensive power tools, nor do you need to set a target of making fine furniture.

For me, I started out with scrap wood, trying to make as perfect as dovetail joint as possible, using just hand tools - a cross-cut saw and a good, sharp chisel.

That took me down a path of trying to learn different joinery techniques, which was a whole lot of fun. I bought a couple of joinery books from the big A and scrounged scraps from my local hardware to practice on. And, I know you said you wanted to get away from the computer, but there’s some incredibly good woodworking channels on YT. I tend to avoid the ones that talk too much about what they’re doing - I prefer to just watch masters at work. I find Japanese woodworking videos incredibly satisfying and enjoyable.

I don’t get to indulge the hobby as much as I want - family life keeps me pretty busy nowadays - but, when I have the occasional afternoon to myself, I love spending it in my little workshop, mucking around with wood. I always come away from a bout of woodworking feeling relaxed.

Literally just bought a map book for most of Australia a few weeks ago.

Planning a three week trip through the Outback. Seems crazy to try and rely on technology out there for that long without a safety net of some sort.

When I was younger, it used to be falling down a large hole, getting swallowed up by the darkness, and never knowing exactly when I’d hit the ground (or worse).

Now I have a family, my most frequent one has been losing my 9yo daughter, usually when we’re camping or at a busy shopping centre - something like that.

I just have a one-liner in crontab that keeps the last 7 nightly database dumps. That destination location is on one my my NASes, which rclones everything to my secondary NAS and an S3 bucket.

ls -tp /storage/proxmox-data/paperless/backups/*.sql.gz | grep -v '/$' | tail -n +7 | xargs -I {} rm -- {}; docker exec -t paperless-db-1 pg_dumpall -c -U paperless | gzip > /storage/proxmox-data/paperless/backups/paperless_$( date +\%Y\%m\%d )T$( date +\%H\%M\%S ).sql.gz

In terms of being able to enjoy that massive reveal behind the whole plot, The Sixth Sense or The Usual Suspects.

In terms of being able to just enjoy the whole storyline without any prior knowledge, The Godfather (parts 1 and 2) or Se7en.

When I caught myself planning exactly how I’d scale that building wall, AC style.

Yep - they introduced paid subscription tiers and put multi-user support into those: https://www.photoprism.app/editions#compare

*sigh* Chester… Him and Chris Cornell. There’s always gonna be a hole in my music-loving heart when I hear either of these guys sing.

You do need to be able to reach your public IP to be able to VPN back in. I have a static IP, so no real concerns there. But, even if I didn’t, I have a Python script that updates a Route53 DNS record for me in my own domain - a self-hosted dynamic DNS really.

You certainly can run Wireguard server in a docker container - the good folks over at Linuxserver have just the repo for you.

This may take us down a bit of a rabbit hole but, generally speaking, it comes down to how you route traffic.

My firewall has an always-on VPN connected to Mullvad. When certain servers (that I specify) connect to the outside, I use routing rules to ensure those connections go via the VPN tunnel. Those routes are only for connectivity to outside (non-LAN) addresses.

At the same time, I host a server inside that accepts incoming Wireguard client VPN connections. Once I’m connected (with my phone) to that server, my phone appears as an internal client. So the routing rules for Mullvad don’t apply - the servers are simply responding back to a LAN address.

I hope that explains it a bit better - I’m not aware of your level of networking knowledge, so I’m trying not to over-complicate just yet.

Yeah, this is why I jumped ship to Immich last year. I was donating to PP, with the understanding that donating users would get access to multi-user features when they happened.

Then they put them behind a paid recurring subscription. For self-hosted users. That move broke all the trust with me.

Mullvad is great for outbound VPN, but inbound is a PITA without port forwarding (as you’ve said). I just host a Wireguard container for inbound connectivity now, and it works flawlessly.

Actually, Nintendo Switch, mainly because I can take it anywhere. I just don’t find myself with heaps of time to sit down for proper gaming sessions any more.

The tyranny of getting older, and having family responsibilities.

Xbox Series X. I have a Day 1 release, and recently cancelled my XBL Gold + Game Pass due to lack of use.

this isn’t reddit.

Correct, hence downvoting here is meaningless.
