Now all we need is 3 pigmee piggies and a doll house and we can have the cuttest horror story ever!

“I huff and I puff but now I is too tired” lies down

The correct URL appears in the browser but the page shows a 404. According to the logs they don’t exist…but they’re there…

It was the first “solution” on google. Didn’t work.

I already went through that. I wouldn’t post here without starting with the official documentation.

This advice is what it is, but I work in a school and Tailscale also seems to be (unintentionally) blocked. After a while I realized it was only the login server that was blocked. If I login using my phone data I can go back to the regular network and it works.

How nice of him, he took the trash out as he left.

I’ll try anything once!

Self-hosted machine. It was basically my old computer I bought back in '09. It’s a i5-750 on a Asus P5P77. It started with the 4 GB RAM I hadn’t sold until I upgrade to 8. I used a borrowed Nvidia GT730 and a 1 TB HDD at first until I upgrade my main PC GPU and bought a new HDD for the server so now it runs in a 4 TB HDD and my old GTX 1060 3 Gb. It’s a beast for my needs.

• Jellyfin is the main reason I started my server. Initially it was so my mother could easily watch shows I would never illegally download. Until a realized it would be great for me too and friends. To not watch them…I mean, because that would be ilegal!

• Qbittorrent…shit…oh well :)

• Nginx, when I realized I could host my own development server and personal website

• Komga, when I realized I could have the same benefits of Jellyfin with books and comics.

• Tailscale, allows me to, among other things, use it as an online or LAN hard drive for me and people I like.

• Samba, see above. It also works to keep a nice share folder between my main PC and my laptop

The more time passes the more I realize self-hosting is the best idea ever. I get new ideias every day.

I kept using 7 until the end and only switched to 10 because I had no alternative. But I’ve been very happy with LTSC.

• phew *

Sometimes I miss that feeling before remembering the full not so great reality of it, though

Tell us!

I had to walk home with a friend in the middle a small city…and still shit my socks. Didn’t sleep right for a week.

Having to walk through the woods after watching THAT movie? No chance…

I literally just wrapped a web app I’ve been working on for a few months. I’m so proud of myself. I take a deserved break and see this.

I hate everybody.

Short answer: it’s hurting the country but it’s making a few people very rich.

We always welcomed visitors and we had a reputation as an hospitable people but we saw that change drastically in the last years.

Some people will criticize my complaints, that tourism brough development to degradated city centers. The fact is those city centers were renovated but not for us. We are not welcome in our own city centers. The traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon and Porto and its culture that attracted so many tourists? Dead. Those people are long gone. Dead or pushed out of the city. Those traditional neighborhoods were Fado was born? Gone. Every last house is an Airbn’b now.

Lisbon is pretty much a Portuguese Theme Park. If you want to experience its culture you won’t find it there. Save your money. Porto is well on its way to be as bad. Braga will get there too.

Portugal, unlike most of Europe, used to be a 100% homogeneous country. There were no national minorities. We have Roma people but they’re considered just as Portuguese as the others. Right now, 20% of the population are foreigners from digital nomads to third world immigrants. I wouldn’t care much if they weren’t taking the place of nationals who are being driven out. And it’s increasing. Some would call it colonisation but I guess we’re in the wrong continent.

Open Facebook and it’s full of ads trying to sell retirement in Portugal to Americans. And they’re coming in droves, some attracted by our universal Healthcare that we pay for while they barely pay taxes. Those ads selling paradise and completely ignoring the fact there are people already living here is so reminiscent of the old ads convincing white settlers to come to African colonies, it’s disgusting.

Portugal is dealing with a major housing crisis. Due to excessive tourism and privileges for digital nomads and foreign retirees our population is being priced out of our own country.

Everybody knows lots of people who were forced to emmigrate. Families broken apart, relationships ended, etc. Everybody has multiple stories like that. I mean EVERYBODY.

To make matters worse, tourism needs low pay workers, but there’s a lack of workers willing to live and work for 800 euros in a city where rents start at over a 1000. Instead of improving conditions for its citizens the solution was to bring in a wave of immigrants from very poor countries who are willing to work here in deplorable conditions. Right now our own capital is overrun by tourism and you can barely hear Portuguese being spoken. And it’s spreading to the other cities.

More and more people just give up and leave every day. Universities are failing to fill their quotas because it’s no longer affordable to live in their cities. Politicians and elites don’t care because they have their interests in tourism.

In the bigger cities, when you enter a shop or restaurant, you can feel the annoyance as soon as they hear you speak Portuguese because they think you won’t spend much. It’s not improving at all and the only measures we had to improve it are half-assed. Right now I’m wondering how long until I give up and leave to join the others.

Had both my lungs collapsed. Forced me to quit pot which made my life take a 180 degree turn.

No, it’s not. It really sucks. But we all had to watch it back then. It was the rules.

I could never enjoy Django. It’s not a bad movie, but the way I watch a Tarantino movie you get desensitized by the violence and it becomes part of the humor and charm. I couldn’t do that in Django. The theme was too serious for me. Curiously I didn’t feel the same way in Inglorious Basterds.

Oh, and let’s get this out of the way. I fucking LOVED the Hateful Eight. It’s pure Tarantino.

It’s my favorite film! But I understand it’s not an easy first watch.

It took me years to go back to it. I was taking a class in film narrative and remembered that weird movie I had seen years ago and suddenly I started getting the plot (what little I remembered).

I rewatched it and I was mind blown. There’s a reason it’s considered one of the biggest achievements in film.

I don’t like to smuggly say “it’s not for everyone”. But I’ll say it again, it’s not an easy watch at all. Hardly uncommon for David Lynch. The first time I watched it I didn’t understand what had happened but I always had this calling “there’s something there I missed”. If you feel that way read a bit about it and give it another shot.

I’d say 2001 Space Odyssey. The film has its interesting parts but the pace is absolutely awful. It makes it unwatchable. I watched it a while ago and couldn’t finish it. Multiple long dragged sequences showing off the ships where nothing happens. Everything is an excuse to drag the scene, even a goddamn elevator. By the time I got the HAL part I was fed up with it and couldn’t go on. It has multiple parts (starting with the music at the start) where it seemed they had a script but had to have a movie yay long. Like a class film. So they took every opportunity to stretch it.

Some people say I don’t get it because it’s not Michael Bay. That I have to appreciate the art in those long drawn out scenes. Well, excuse me, but I wanted to watch a movie, not a painting. Also, I shouldn’t be expected to be on acid while watching. A disclaimer would help.
