You can pick up any plastic headset that fits your phone for $25-40/£20-30. FWIW I heard Destek are good and bought one. They go through versions so it seems they’re in V5 now (Amazon link). Gotta try and keep the lenses of whichever headset you choose oil, dust and hair free when you close it so a microfibre cloth is highly recommended, or a sock.

Way, WAY back you used to be able to have a ratchet VR setup. Using TrinusVR, paired with the mobile app and desktop app, I was able to play Minecraft Java (and any other standard game) in VR, as well as Subnautica in VR mode. No need to drop £800 on a true VR rig.

Good news: TrinusVR still exists!

YouTube is a little bitch with 3D. A workaround to YT removing the dedicated VR button is to build a playlist with one (preferably short) 180° or 360° video, followed by all the ones you want to watch. Must in this order:

• disable autorotate
• manually full-screen
• activate 3D mode
• place phone in headset
• bonus: get comfortable, and get the video in the correct position by pressing the interactive button. If it’s askew you need to look away and press to move it, then rest and press again.

Iirc Samsung are going to make a VR headset, along with a $30 headset that takes a phone. $30 is on par with loads of step-ups from Cardboard - plastic. They’re not OSFA (one size fits all) though, at this point you need one that can take seven inches

Not at all but my god that sounds like that would be recipe for disaster

I would understand if one was the article and the other was the page, but they’re both for the whole page. Should be one, not both.

I’ve never understood why people panic when a VIP is shot. Random public murder, sure, but clearly you the public are not in danger in these situations.

And I raise you Pokémon. Holy mother of fuck that’s messed up. Some episodes switched around for foreign distribution, some removed, and two seasons put into one, making the entire ordering one season and three episodes off. Had to manually edit nearly everything after Sonarr tagged them because Sonarr used the UK tvdb ordering iirc (the UK removed a couple episodes) but my source used Japan (scene) and Emby used US tvdb. Something like that

Feast your eyes on this shitshow (use desktop mode if on mobile)

Oof… What’s the general state of Germany from your side?

Good luck! My hair has gotten significantly weaker and thinner since taking oE. I’d say after 8 months is the perfect time to try again at the laserz

Short answer - no. 80% at most. But when that hair doesn’t grow back after each session - you’ll notice.

Like Ada said - they and I have the Goldilocks complexion for laser, dark hair and light skin. My transition has been largely out of the NHS’s pocket and I was granted 8 sessions. The clinic guessed 70-90% coverage given my skin and hair tones and they were accurate by the end at ~80%.
I’d say 12 initial or two blocks of 8 are perfect, and I’ve also heard that electrolysis for what laser doesn’t get is a good option.

Finally - epilation, plucking or shaving for the rest. I choose to epilate now because ripping the fuckers out leaves my skin much smoother for longer. Mid-high pain threshold needed.

Yeah, I have faith in the people but the leadership definitely puts Canada in the same gross boat as the others…

I was wrong about Germany, the main issue over there is the AfD party, but it seems the public are vehemently opposed to them. Denmark, however, is the current presidential leader of the EU, and is speedrunning Chat Control before their term ends. Normally these kinds of votes must be unanimous, but it wasn’t – yet Denmark is continuing to implement it.

As far as I can tell the USA, Britain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Australia and China are fucked. Fascism, nationalism, corporate capitalism, segregation, genocide, history erasure, political extremism and regression… Looking pretty fucking bleak. I’d include Palestine but it was formatted by Britain and replaced with Israel, and it doesn’t technically exist like it used to.

Thank you! Definitely looking into that. That’s another thing I’ve never understood, why I lose connection to a local service when the broadband cuts out.

If I get a router with split DNS, and not need an Internet connection… That would be huge.

So that’s DNSSEC… I do have to occasionally let my browser know it’s okay aha, but that’s how Google (I used to use Chrome) added my old admin password to a list of breached passwords…

Self-hosting be like ^^

I think I had issues similar to that. Perhaps the PiHole is running a conflicting DHCP server? I have my own set of weird issues… Bad connectivity so I need a WiFi range extender, but it’s not a true extender and has its own IP address, acting as a router sometimes and not forwarding DNS queries to the main router… That, a lack of NAT loopback functionality, a lack of changeable DNS settings and the AdGuard Home apparently taking precedent in that side of the house, and I have a cocktail of connection issue bs lol. The main router can DNS perfectly fine, but if I’m connected to the extender I have to add DNS rewrites to AGH… which works for most services…

The journey is largely about overcoming obstacles aha, and the reward for doing so… Hope yours goes well!

Yes! This.

I have one machine for network sharing storage and thus a user for login and r/w powers. The same storage is used by other machines to save the files, and so each autonomous user for CCTV and qBitTorrent needed to have the same UID as the Samba login, so each program had rw permissions.

And those containers had to be privileged iirc in order for each root (UID 0) to access the shared storage properly. I may be wrong though

I have a router given to me by my ISP, which incidentally has less features than their older model, so I was wondering, if you know: Would some ‘aftermarket’ gateways also be a DNS server? Sometimes it’d be great to have the resolution handled completely by the gateway instead of a separate machine - especially as some of my services just don’t seem to declare their names. And my stock router has a terrible downside - no NAT loopback. And - the reason I’m in this pickle - they’ve removed custom DNS settings.

Currently I only have my fiancée on board, but the moment something requires more than setting a custom login domain and user+pass, her patience dwindles. She’s a good baseline for me to know that most people won’t be happy with a manual cryptographic handshake between contacts (Matrix/XMPP) or fucking with IP:port settings. I dont like to damage someone’s feeling of independence but sometimes these things need someone who can blitz through the settings themselves, especially if you have to troubleshoot why it didn’t just work.

Exactly.

On your DNS provider, the domain name must point to the public IP of your router. All devices connected to your network use the same public IP.

On the router, ports 80 and 443 must be forwarded to the (local IP of) the machine running Nginx.

Nginx must have the domain name point to the local IP of the machine running ABS.

Are you using Nginx or Nginx Proxy Manager?

Edit: If Nginx, as they’re on the same docker setup, instead of the Nginx config pointing to ABS’ local IP you can use 172.17.0.1 (iirc) and the port you used, or the container_name from compose.yaml, e.g. audiobookshelf:3748

I use NginX Proxy Manager so my methods may differ slightly.

Note about domains: It’s always good to buy one.

RIP DuckDNS… it used to be a fairly reliable Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and it cost nothing to make an account and five domains… However, apparently, it was shut down without notice under a month ago.
