N0 n0t my v0w3ls!

But have you heard of todays sponser?

{Insert corprate shillery}

its flat theme

i think i may go with wire guard, do you know of any good videos or tutorials? i found this, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-wireguard-on-ubuntu-20-04

also follow up question, alot of people are saying to make the mine-craft server run in a vm for host isolation. So what if i spun up 2vm’s

#1 would be a virtualized instance of pf sense, i would then have ethernet 1 on dogtown give internet to the base gentoo install, then have a Ethernet 2 go into PF sense, which will then have firewall rules to restrict access to the vm minecraft server. would that work? or is there somthing im misisng?

Diagram added

currently my setup is a dsl modem that goes, to my router/WAP which is a eero, that i plan to eventually replace with a Banna pi R4 which will run openwrt. but as of now the eero goes to my 48 port in my server room, and i have all my computer jacked into that. so to answer your question, my firewall is handled by my router and individual local rules by my machines. im kinda new to self hosting and port forwarding and pfsense looks pretty useful. i know pfsense is based on freebsd so is that a big plus vs openwrt?

please let me know, what some potential solutions could be.

Currently the plan is to use my 48 port cisco switch and put the server on a separate vlan. I assume that is very similar to your pfsense solution? Please correct me if im wrong

Thanks! I wish the best for you aswell

Yeah my friends really weren’t my friends, they were all political dick heads. to be honest i really don’t care if another person has another political party they agree with. I’m pretty apolitical and think both sides have certain points that i agree with and disagree with. But somehow politics always got brought up and divided the friend group into political party’s and belligerent bickering ensued. So sophomore year, I just sat by myself and enjoyed my solace. until junior year, where i met some new friends that actually care and didn’t really care about politics and have been hanging with them since :D.

the year i broke off from them was heavily politicized, and the full friend group i had at the time is now completely dissolved and everybody moved away. and the person who i would consider the “leader” of the friend group, which i had multi experiences with. alot of the time would “Prank” me. which was ultimately a fucked up immoral “joke” if i can call it that.

we had a MC survival world we all played on, i mean sunk hours into. one day he blew up many peoples houses and put bedrock around. and left signs saying trolololo now see at this point it justs a guy being a dick. but there’s more to this story, so then him and his friend gaslight me for a week that a hacker logged onto the server and destroyed stuff. i explained i worried about if the hacker got our IP addressees and could hurt us. i got like 2 hours of sleep for all week. the other friend felt bad and eventually came clean about the “prank”.

i think my auto gen for my keyboard is not very good because i have all telemetry disabled, text to speech disabled, learning typos disabled and use futo keyboard. I originally i used KryptEY because of hidden encryption in normal sms. but nobody i knew ever used it :( and i missed auto gen. cool project tho https://github.com/amnesica/KryptEY

i also realize this very much feels like average gentoo user meme :P

Were having gentoo for supper

Gentoo is a very good alternative to the hacker community and the community is a very good alternative to the community itself and the people that make it work well and are willing to do it well in their communities to be the most successful.

my apologize i forgot to add that the service the late comers demanded was an appointment only service. which usually all appointments were closed by 7:00. didnt mean to be a your tip is 50% 80% 100% meme

thanks for pointing it out, ill make sure to add the context

PSA: Don’t be an Assbag

I have a few friends who work retail, and we’ve talked about nightmare customers. The shop closes at 7:30 every Friday, but two people often walk in between 7:10 and 7:30 to demand service that takes 30minutes to complete for one person and is appointment only which all appointments are closed by 7:00pm for the staff to leave on time. They expect to be served despite the fact that the tools required for the service are already put away by 7:10. Sometimes my friend bends to their requests, but I keep telling him: closing time is closing time, and doing so is like teaching your dog to eat off your plate. It’s okay for now, but it will come back to bite you.

If you’re going to show up close to closing time and are still willing to be served, then TIP THEM WELL. I’ve done it a few times, and I’m guilty of it, but I’ve made it worth their while.

There was one time in 2023 when my friends and I wanted to get together for some wings. We stopped by a dinner on the outskirts of town at 10:30 pm, and they close at 11:00 pm. We went in, and I asked if they would still serve us because I know it’s late. And I don’t want to be an asshole. They served us, and we enjoyed our wings while catching up on life before leaving a hefty tip on the table.

This year, there was another time when we went out to a local car hop at 8:30 pm, which closes at 9:00 pm. The girls serving and taking orders did a great job, and it was scorching hot outside all day. Since I don’t go out to eat often and would rather give my business to mom-and-pop shops rather than the local megacorporation, we all pitched in and left a 40% tip – which came out to be around $24 on our $60 meal. When she came to take the tray from the car window, she asked if we needed anything else, and I handed her the tip of $24. Her face lit up, and she asked if this was a mistake. I said it was on purpose, and for her to have a good night. She smiled and thanked us before we left. Although the tip hurt my wallet quite a bit, with my brain reminding me of the $24 I lost, it felt good to help someone out – especially since she likely deals with a lot of crappy people in crappy weather.

i will have to give it a read, thank you for your comment and insight!

Ok buddy, listen i have kept every comment ive left informational and went through extra effort to be polite and curious to eveyone.

And your comment is shit dude, not because of the information but the feed back you gave was disrespectful, unempathetic and not even constructive at best.

And i made a post about asking for advice, to which the title was not "im right, " or anything of the sorts because i actually wanted people to form there own opinion. Because what is feedback if its all circual jerking, if you want that go to reddit.

And saying i disrespect (girl) is just untrue, you may not know me. But lots of people in this post or in other communitys. Know i go out of my way to not be a fucking pick and be respectful. And to go to the term that i objectified her is repulsive and completely untrue! And more sounds like your reaching just to try to make yourself feel better about being asshole.

Ok saying im a danger is a bit of a stretch, but i get the point your making. It was a learning experience. See i think it was mostly the faliure on my part for her being “polite” and asking to just be friends and me missing that social queue.

and i was expecting just telling me to kick rocks. Which i feel was a large miscomunaction between both partys. And the friend thing was rather cryptic. Why not just go up and talk, i mean i was alone and im not muscular, tall Or violent. And me and (girl) where both in a mutal friend group, as soon as i knew who the girl was. I knew her, she knew me. It wasnt like we were strangers.

For added context, im a people pleaser and kinda a push over at least in high school. I always tried to be nice to people even ones that where austrasized for good reason. But i didnt know that at the time (kid cranking his hog in math class and got rightfully expelled a year later).

I just dont think ill ever understand why she didnt just say i dont want to be friends anymore? Instead of going through all this mess and complexity.

I know its kinda a deaf tone. But why cant people just say what they want. Like social ques are just so hard to read.

Yeah i may have missed that :/ I took it literally Well…

Yeah i was kinda desperate and loney at the time. I mostly decided to share to see if i was actually being creepy or autism had a large role in it.

Im really good at making friends but bad at ending friendships even i know there not worth having as friend.

Thanks for your input.
