  • On the surface, this may seem like a good idea, but I’ve seen plenty of time where, despite all the camera angles, a player’s body was blocking a view of the ball/puck/frisbee/whatever and replay was basically useless. In this instances, you really need a “disinterested” third party on the field to make a call. It’s why the replay has to be irrefutable to overturn the call on the field. Also, it’s been awhile, but the NFL used to review just about every play and it was annoying. Games lasted way too long, and it was really hard for teams to maintain any momentum after a big play. Fans actually applauded when they significantly cut back on how much they would review. Since then, they’ve been incrementally bringing it back into the games and I think they’re almost back to it being too much.

    Bad calls are a part of sports. They suck, but it’s a random bit of chaos that creates a Bad Guy for all the fans.



  • So I got back to my server, and here’s what I do:

    gluetun settings:

    services:
      gluetun:
    *snip*
        ports:
    *snip*
          - 8090:8090 # port for qbittorrent
    *snip*
    

    qbittorrent (in the same compose.yml):

      qbittorrent:
        image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
        container_name: qbittorrent
        environment:
    *snip*
          - WEBUI_PORT=8090
    *snip*
        network_mode: service:gluetun # run on the vpn network
        depends_on:
          gluetun:
            condition: service_healthy
    *snip*
    

    Also, in qbittorrent settings you can bind it to a network device. In my case it’s “tun0.” This same thing can probably be done w/ a docker network in a gluetun container and separate containers that rely on that network being up, but I haven’t looked into it. Right now, I have 2 other services that require VPN, and I’m looking at possibly 1 or 2 more. That’s pretty manageable as a single stack, I think.













  • I was told on my way to college to stick to natural stuff, and only with people I absolutely trust. I know there are plenty of natural drugs that can kill you quickly, dad was just trying to make it easy. I guess he figured I’d never see shrooms. At an A&M school. Surrounded by cow pastures. Anywho…

    In my youth I thought I was old enough to try some stuff. I was not. Now that I’m older, I still think lots of drugs should be legalized, but I think 25 is maybe a good age. Let the brain finish developing before you start killing off the slow cells!

    Seriously, go to a library. Pick something. If you don’t like it, return it for something else. If you do, get some more like that one. But don’t be afraid to branch out.

    Edit to add: pretty much everything said here is really good advice.
