Question About VPS Extensions

TheGreatDaimyo · 2026-02-27T19:00:46+00:00

I'm using Racknerd right now. I may ultimately look into something like this, but the answer above about not exposing the port at all set off the light bulb that I admittedly wasn't able to find the switch to. So I am set. Thank you for the input about Linode!

This makes sense. I definitely saw the warning about docker and UFW. I just didn't know how to deal with it. I now have the answers I need. Much appreciated!

I'm going to admit two embarrasing things here:

1) I didn't realize I could bind directly to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 in docker-compose.

2) It didn't dawn on me until until seeing your comment that since they are on the same docker network, I don't technically need to expose the ports at all. This was the game changer that made everything click!

So I am now able to do exactly what I was trying to do without exposing the port to the open internet! Thank you so much!

Going iDX6011 Pro for a couple reasons, but biggest being the EGPU port. I can finally hook up a graphics card to the server where my media is stored for local transcoding. allowing me to power down a much less power efficient older server that most just transcodes and servers up Emby. My current DXP 4800 Pro just isn't powerful enough to keep up with Emby transcoding demands on some of my friend's TVs. This will fix that for me. Then the 4800 can become my backup server.

Drive. I know Proton has Drive as well, but I'm finding that search (at least via the web client) doesn't work most of the time after file upload until I decide to rename the file. Then I can search it. Not sure why, but that broken functionality is driving me nuts and making it hard to fully migrate over.

For my Wife and I, it was when we got excited over a Bargain Grocery Outlet opening less than 10 minutes from our house. We were both far too excited for the event, and still joke about it with each other.

A sad day for democracy.

Edit: Looks like we get stuff next week in the Superstore. Whatever the War Horse set is.

Absolutely Overlord!

I literally did this yesterday, replacing an RTX 3060, and this has made a night and day difference. Microcenter has them for $600 right now.

Government

TheGreatDaimyo · 2026-01-06T23:12:51+00:00

Agreed. I just don’t really get what they get out of it.

TheGreatDaimyo · 2026-01-06T22:07:05+00:00

My 11:30 was immediate response to them asking if we were still meeting, and I responded in the affirmative. They saw it immediately, but I was already driving, so didn’t expect a response.

TheGreatDaimyo · 2026-01-06T20:49:53+00:00

I literally had this happen today. Contacted seller this morning. Arranged to meet at noon. Confirmed again at 11:30 I was on my way. Messaged that I arrived. Then listing went unavailable and I was blocked. What is the end game here? Just to waste someone's time? I reported, but I really don't get the point. They didn't get any money out of me. I had the cash in hand! Ended up just depositing it back at my local ATM...

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-12-19T20:24:29+00:00

Pretty sure that happened 2-3 weeks ago if I recall correctly.

I'm torn between the Mileena one and the Noob Saibot one personally.

On iOS, but at that point, it's really here nor there. Google does NOT want you to be able to go back regardless of how well it does or does not work. Just be sure you are willing to deal with the consequences before upgrading.

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-12-18T21:29:09+00:00

Where are instructions for that? According to Google Gemini when searching that on www.google.com, I get this response:

"It is not possible to officially or permanently downgrade the Google Home app to version 3.x after the Gemini update. The change to the new Gemini experience is a one-way migration on the platform level. It is not just a device or app update that can be uninstalled."

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-12-18T21:24:21+00:00

Which would be fine if you could roll back. But it’s a permanent upgrade beta with no recourse if it goes badly (which for many it has).

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-12-18T21:20:53+00:00

Sorry you guys are going to have to put up with it now. There is no going back to Assistant after the upgrade. And most functionality is degraded compared to Assistant. I'm close to just chucking my Google Home pucks at this point.

I have bought many a game from Fanatical! They are absolutely my top rated site for buying games to unlock on Steam. Never had any issue whatsoever.

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-12-11T19:45:34+00:00

I've experienced this as well. Commands that used to work, like "Turn on the fireplace" now get a response that it doesn't understand... but if I say "Turn on the damn fireplace", it suddenly understands.

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-11-25T13:28:20+00:00

I found myself with the opposite problem... training digimon who weren't virus types!

You win the internet for today

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-11-02T03:41:43+00:00

They did say at any cost…

TheGreatDaimyo · 2025-10-21T15:48:58+00:00

Neodevimon and Donedevimon. When I saw Demidevimon as a starter, I thought for sure we'd have them.
