  • First, it’s important for people to understand that democratic governance is compromise. At least when elected officials play by the rules (cough, Trump/GOP).

    Second, I don’t think Mamdani was ever going to turn. NYC into a “socialist paradise,” like all the rich/right-wing/centrist Chicken Littles warned. The best he can hope to do is pull the state party back to the left. Maybe find some success with progressive policies and open the door for more progressive candidates.

    Democrats have been trying for so long to get the mythical “moderate Republican” vote that they’ve effectively become the centrist party, and it’s allowed the GOP to move further and further to the right to where Tea Partiers are now the moderates! It’s good to see a true progressive win a major election, even if it is NYC (the city did also elect Rudy & Bloomberg to the post).






  • 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.
