NewOldGuard [he/him, comrade/them]

Qbittorrent with gluetun routing traffic to Mullvad. Content added to qb via the *arr suite. All downloads go to my ZFS pool on the same server, then I use Jellyfin for viewing media and syncthing to move books to my tablet. All the services are running in docker containers on a fedora server host, which I’ve hardened for security. I don’t expose anything to the network, all access is through tailscale

I just don’t expose anything to those platforms that isn’t already public or that could come back to bite me if it were. They are garbage platforms for political discussion, I don’t even try. They’re just ways to know what my friends and family are up to and their major life events

That said if you have no connection to these platforms already or can use an alternative please do. And don’t rely on them to protect any aspect of your privacy or security, sandbox them and the information they get because they will exploit you or leak ur shit

I have quit caffeine a couple of times. I’m such a fiend for it but it definitely increases my anxiety and makes my sleep less regular too. I taper off because I drink astronomical amounts. I usually halve my intake week over week until im down to just a cup of tea or something light, at which point I start taking odd days off of caffeine and then none at all. Normally my caffeine free streaks last a couple of months, until some late night project or early morning meeting ruins my energy levels and I start the cycle all over again.

I think it’s like 60-70% and declining nowadays

How’s your experience with cosmic? I’m using a very similar setup with a custom bluebuild image pulling from secureblue. Currently on Gnome but impatiently waiting for cosmic to hit some level of stability
