  • Never in my life hage I known people (in Germany, but probably everywhere) to he happy with politics. I would also argue that for the vast majority (again, here in Germany) life has improved over the past decades.

    IMO the reason for right wing surges aren’t actual real-world problems or failings of ruling parties (though flawed they are), but the new forms of propaganda and outreach that right wing parties have mastered, and left wing parties have failed at.




  • Not the usual topic around here, but a scream into the void no less…

    Andor season 1 was art.

    Andor season 2 is just… Bad.

    All the important people appear to have been replaced. It’s everything - music, direction, lighting, sets (why are we back to The Volume after S1 was so praised for its on-location sets?!), and the goddamn shit humor.

    Here and there, a conversation shines through from (presumably) Gilroy’s original script, everything else is a farce, and that is me being nice.

    The actors are still phenomenal.

    But almost no scene seems to have PURPOSE. This show is now just bastardizing its own AESTHETICS.

    What is curious though is that two days before release, the internet was FLOODED with glowing reviews of “one of the best seasons of television of all time”, “the darkest and most mature star wars has ever been”, “if you liked S1, you will love S2”. And now actual, post-release reviews are impossible to find.

    Over on reddit, every even mildly critical comment is buried. Seems to me like concerted bot actions tbh, a lot of the glowing comments read like LLM as well.

    Idk, maybe I’m the idiot for expecting more. But it hurts to go from a labor-of-love S1 which felt like an instruction manual for revolution, so real was what it had to say and critique, to S2 “pew pew, haha, look, we’re doing STAR WARS TM” shit that feels like Kenobi instead of Andor S1.


  • I still find it hilarious that since dd-wrt and OpenWrt are just… Linux, you could install Super Mario Bros on there. I checked, nobody seems to have tried.

    Oh, definitely, but there are varying degrees of difficulty, esp. with what kinds of packages / package management you have available :D

    Ah, that make sense. Is Wireguard P2P?

    Yes, in the sense that each node/device is a peer. But the way I’d suggest you configure it in your case is more akin to a client/server setup - your devices forward all traffic to the “server”, but it never takes initiative to talk “back” to them, and they do not attempt to communicate with each other. Unless you have a separate usecase for that, of course.

    You both are perfect for each other, so don’t screw it up!

  • I’m actually surprised nobody suggested simply using the Pi with OpenWrt as my own router. Though, that would make it hard to host Jellyfin.

    A brief internet search shows that surprisingly, hosting Jellyfin on OpenWRT should work… No idea how well though. Come to think of it, having OpenWRT on the pi might make it a lot easier to configure, with graphical settings available and so on.

    Could you explain Wireguard vs. Tailscale in this scenario?

    I’ve never used tailscale, I’m afraid. Normally I would say: just use whatever seems easier to set up on your device/network; however, note that tailscale needs a “coordinate server”. No actual traffic ever goes through it, it just facilitates key exchanges and the like (from what I understand), but regardless, it’s a server outside your control which is involved in some way. You can selfhost this server, but that is additional work, of course…

    Thank you all so much for your help! This is likely the solution I will go with, combined with another one, so again thank you so much!

    Glad I could help, after being so unhelpful yesterday :)

    P.S. I don’t care if you wrap an ethernet cord around her finger, get going!

    Eh… Marriage is not really common in either of our families. We agreed to go sign the papers if there ever is a tax reason, lol. Sorry if that’s a bit unromantic :D Nice rings though ^^
