Honestly? This is a great, low stakes way of letting him get the feel for the game without feeling like he’s not “helping”.

I’ve been playing Gravity Rush from the PS Vita. I went in blind and have been enjoying it so far. I can’t get motion controls to work, but that hasn’t stopped me yet.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.

Is there something on your wishlist that’s on discount?

Noclip Crew did a quick look for this: https://youtu.be/jeiKOdka6DA

It looks good!

mom, Barbie says she can’t connect to the Internet, is the wifi down?

I would get multiple drives and do RAID. Here’s a helpful calculator to figure out drive quantity, size, and configuration. The reason to do RAID is redundancy. Hard drives will fail (even NAS branded drives). You do not want your photos, media, etc to be lost in that case. I personally do not go with anything below RAID5 (and for super sensitive things, I’ll even go RAID6 - despite the hit on overall capacity. If the optiplex has drive capacity for multiple drives, I strongly recommend you go this route.

There’s nothing worse than taking extreme measures to troubleshoot a problem with a third party system that’s out of your control.

I thought final destination had death chase folks who had a vision of an impending accident and they used that foreknowledge to avoid their fate? To be fair, I haven’t seen any other than the first one, and that was through my fingers. (I am not a brave man)

Okay, then I’m thinking your router/NAT maybe causing the problem. Typically, your ISP won’t block subdomains for dns, they may outright block Source NAT (SNAT), but if you could get through via the IP, you should be good to go.

An easy way to check is to visit a site like this and check for port 443: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/. You don’t need to be on the server that’s hosting your portfolio, just any thing that’s on the same network as your portfolio (something behind your external router)

Just to make sure.

1. When on your home network, doing nslookup (or similar), your fqdn resolves to your public IP
2. When on a hotspot, if you go to https://fqdn/ it does not connect (probably with the ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT that you mentioned below)
3. When on hotspot, if you to telnet to port 443 on 206.x.x.x, it connects

What happens if you, on the hotspot, try browsing to https://206.x.x.x? When you are on the same network as the portfolio, can you reach https://[internal ip]?

What I’m leaning towards is a router/firewall that may be causing some issues. To help with troubleshooting, does your website server have any local firewalls (for ubuntu that would typically be ufw, but it could be iptables or firewalld)?

Try this command from a terminal on the system from which you’re attempting to connect:

nslookup <yourfqdn>

It should come back with something like this:

~ ❯ nslookup stronk.bond
Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   stronk.bond
Address: 172.67.174.80

If it says something like “can’t find” that means that your dns isn’t configured appropriately. Does your IP address start with 192.168, 10., or 172.? That would be a private IP address (something which isn’t accessible from the internet.

Oh! And where is everything - is your workstation/laptop on the same network as your portfolio? Is the portfolio on a different network? That could effect things as well.

What does your nginx config look like for ssl? It should specify a certificate and key file - that certificate subject needs to match your fully qualified domain name (fqdn). Certificate can have subject alternative names (SAN) for other names and even IP addresses.

For instance, you could have a single certificate for foo.bar with a SAN for just foo and an IP SAN for 192.168.1.30.

Certificates also need to be signed by a certificate authority (CA), and in order for your browser to visit https://foo.bar/ without a warning your browser must trust that CA.

If you did a self signed cert, this is most likely the problem you’re running into.

It’s important to know that your communication is still encrypted because of SSL, but since your browser doesn’t trust the CA (or the subject doesn’t match the FQDN) the browser will say it’s not secure.

Heck, African American! That’s all you had to say!

Hooooboy. Their comment gets worse the further you read.

Edit: deleting most of my comment because it’s a duplicate from the person who answered hours ago, leaving my indexers comment.

Something that you didn’t mention, but needs addressing - indexers. Yes, there are free indexers but they’re often capped at a certain number of grabs per day. Expect to pay for access to these as well - but some have lifetime memberships at a reasonable price. Get more than one and sabnzbd can prioritize by user-assigned weight. (By the way,these are typically what gets hit by content protection/LE). Indexers provide the nzb files that tell you download client where in the providers’ server to find the download bits/bytes.

The *arr stack works wonderfully with Usenet, I think if you go this route, you’ll be surprised how little you have to fall back to torrents.

I came here for the bicycle from scratch instructions.

How hard is it to get into welding if your day job has nothing to do with it? Are there like… classes or something? Is there a setup like an easy bake oven, but for welding?

My only experience with “heat up a thing until it flows, then use molten thing to join two parts” is some soldering of electronics.

They’re also no picnic for people who want kids but can’t have them despite years of trying.

Oh there’s definitely some elder gods involved with programming when I do it.
