You could use PiVPN (you don’t need to install it specifically on a Raspberry Pi – this is just a handy all-in-one software solution). It supports both OpenVPN and Wireguard standards. Forward the relevant port in your router configuration, set up a single user for yourself in the VPN settings, and then connect via whichever client you prefer (OpenVPN if you use OVPN, or Wireguard if you use Wireguard).

I’ve used it before to access locally-hosted services from outside my home network and it gets the job done with fairly minimal setup.

I do love when this happens. I could probably think of more examples if I took the time, but the first that immediately springs to mind is Buffy the Vampire Slayer pulling a rocket launcher on a vampire.

And the potential for finding loot.

I’ve found neat things on the side of the road by walking around my home, ranging from brass knuckles to a case with 3 Nintendo Switch cartridges inside. I tried to find the owner of the games (probably a kid who dropped it when getting off the school bus) but was unable to.

Nah. I’ll continue enjoying Christmas as I damn well please. By all means continue to be a huge asshole about it, though. Happy holidays! 🎄🎅🎁

Whole lotta grinches in these comments. Of course Christmas has been exploited by big business to make money and yada yada, all that cynical bullshit.

To quote Charlie Brown, circa 1965 (which I mention to point out that this problem is nothing new):

I won’t let all this commercialism ruin my Christmas. I’ll take this little tree home and decorate it and I’ll show them it really will work in our play.

You might as well hate Halloween because it gives overly-religious people an excuse for their Satanic Panic every year. It has nothing to do with the actual holiday itself, but how bad actors have co-opted it. And I say that as an atheist who enjoys Christmas in a secular way.

Christmas rules. I love having a time every year where I can reliably take some time off work and spend it with family.

That said, I’m not skipping Halloween by any measure; I love Halloween as well. Our decorations our going up today.

It’s a pretty legit album. I’ve listened to it several times over the years.

This is the first I’ve heard of such a thing. Like TVs connecting to one another through Wifi Direct or BTLE and tethering their internet connection? Can you link to anything discussing this?

Came here to say something similar. I always have mixed feelings on Scrubs for similar reasons to you. I genuinely can’t go back and rewatch most episodes because they are incredibly dated or insensitive in many respects. The good parts are still good, the great parts are still great, but the bad parts feel really bad IMO, and it really kills a lot of rewatch potential for me, despite having loved watching seasons 1-5 when it was originally airing. It was one of my favorite shows for years.

I can definitely watch older stuff and understand it’s a product of its time, but Scrubs in particular has me cringing by 5 minutes into the episode; I can’t get through the rest of the episode most of the time. I end up skipping around to watch the scenes I know I like. I ain’t got time to sit around watchin’ The Todd harass people or Kelso make his usual “wife bad” jokes.

What a soundtrack, though. One of the better soundtracks of any show I’ve watched.

This is one reason I really liked my Dynamics professor. On the first day of class, he wrote “F=ma” on the white board and said, “See that equation? It hasn’t changed much in the last 200 years. You don’t need to buy the newest edition of the textbook; it’s mostly just fixing errata. The lessons are virtually the same as the first edition.”

Setting up remote access for Jellyfin felt pretty trivial for me like 2 years ago when switching away from Plex. No hiccups that I can recall whatsoever. Except for maybe the nginx reverse proxy configuration, but the documentation made it decently straightforward, but that step isn’t strictly necessary to get remote access working; that was just something I wanted for my particular setup.

And I wouldn’t call the Jellyfin UI janky at all. I use it every day and can’t think of any common issues I encounter when using it. There surely are quirks with some features, but I find them few and far between. I recall Plex having its own UI quirks back when I used it.

Reminds me of how Zeus cobbled together Pegasus from a handful of different kinds of clouds in Hercules.

“Hmm, let’s see here. A little cirrus… a touch of nimbostratus, and a dash of cumulus.”

GIMP feels like it’s still in the stage of being extremely powerful but awkward as heck to wield, like Blender used to be. Blender used to have a pretty unintuitive interface before getting a massive overhaul a few years back. GIMP could use a similar facelift IMO.

I managed to inadvertently cure myself of this problem by recording a lot of music in my early 20’s. I became accustomed to hearing what my voice actually sounds like and got a lot better at controlling it as a result.

Those first few months of recording were rough though, lol. I hated listening to all of my recordings.

You could try opening up the Resource Monitor and checking out the Network tab:

It might have the same issue (grouping everything under the VPN .exe), but it’s worth a shot.
