Try to take it easy man, don’t burn yourself out over work, your health is important.

So add your user to the new docker group made on install of that package and you’ll be able to docker without sudo. You may need to relogin or newgrp docker before it works tho

How’d you get my shell history?

Similar story for me, Ubuntu w/ wobbly windows and desktop cube in Jr High (I was a particularly nerdy kid), arch w/ i3 in HS and college, now I’m a DevSecOps Developer (engineer is a sacred term in Canada)

Learning to do naughty things to the WEP wifi around me is what led me to now doing penetration tests at my org.

Funny how goofing around on a computer as a kid can lead to careers and passions.

This also adds the benefit that any other devices that wanna VPN can just use the gateway

I’ve read some of the comments and it sounds like you’ve already tried installing proton VPN and tailscale on the same machine, but depending on your setup maybe you could make a “VPN gateway”

Like take your pi, install protonvpn, then enable IP forwarding and use a little nat IP tables script to nat your lan to your proton VPN interface like a home router would with the wan and lan ports.

Then on your tailscale gateway set the default route to be that box instead of your normal router. Then just use the tailscale node as the exit node on your client and check your IP.

In theory this would be similar to a qubes type setup which is what I tend to use for this kind of work.

I’m a torrenter with the sonarr radar lidarr prowlarr *arr setups.

I’ve dabbled with Usenet and here’s my understanding.

With torrents you’re all sharing something live, if you want ubuntu.iso and I have ubuntu.iso you can get it from me and many others who seed this file. A torrent tracker (or the dht) helps put us in touch so you know where the file is.

With Usenet it’s more like I dead drop this file, zipped and encrypted(?) onto a Usenet news server. All the Usenet providers mirror each other or something like that, so if you’re on a diff provider than me that same file should still be available. Then I tell an indexer, like dognzb or nzbgeek that this file is in fact ubuntu.iso and not garbage data. When you want ubuntu.iso you ask the indexer, indexer gives you a link and you get the file.

Beyond this, I don’t know about how much safer it is, but my immediate guess is that since you’re not seeding there’s less risk.

Now if you’re really snobby like me, you’ll quickly realize that the release groups you’re used to aren’t as well represented. I’ve often landed in situations where episode 7 of 20 is missing on Usenet…

As a snob, I’ve decided private trackers are probably the best place to be to keep my quality expectations satisfied.

Hope this helps.

Anything that’s steam workshop should just work for the most part.

There’s also steam tinker launcher which you can use as a shim between steam and your proton in order to hook modloaders like modorganizer for Skyrim.

Anything that’s “drag and drop” should also work seamlessly.

Worst case scenario you can add your mod organizer as a non-steam game and browse to your game folder in the mod tool.

I think another point worth mentioning is that some anti-cheats allow proton, which is nice if you wanna play online with others in a competitive game.

I believe they do this by checking the hashes of a lot of the system32 type stuff, I’m not convinced it would just work in vanilla wine.

From what I gather it’s closer to a port knock than magic packets
