  • I’ve mostly been wanting to play Rocket League, but I’ve been super stressed and for whatever reason playing against real people stresses me more. I think it’s because I can’t just pause the game whenever I feel like it.

    So I’ve been mostly playing against ML bots with RLBotGui. As a gold/plat level player, it’s actually a great way to practice.

    I’ve also been playing through all of the Adventures of Lolo games(1-3 US and Japan, GB Lolo, eggerland series, plus all of the many rom hacks) on my Anbernic handheld. It’s my favorite puzzle game of all time.






  • If when you run a fingernail over it, if your nail catches in the scratch, the scratch is very likely too deep to fix with paint correction(like buffing/polishing).

    A proper fix will require prep, painting and blending, which you shouldn’t try to do yourself. You could buy a touch up stick that matches your paint to cover the scratch. It won’t look perfect and won’t last forever without clear coat on top, but it will prevent rust.

    Before you decide how you’ll deal with this, you can bring it to a body shop for an estimate, most shops will do that for free. Most shops can give you an estimate from photos emailed or submitted to their websites.




  • I have many of my services open to the internet, but behind authelia w/2fa and a reverse proxy. I haven’t had a security issue yet, been running this way for a few years.

    I think it’s pretty safe as long as you keep them up to date. I run backups weekly and do updates at least once a month.

    Using geoip restrictions will also help a lot because you can block most of the scanner bots by denying connections from outside your geographic region. These bots detect what services are open to the internet and then add them to databases like shodan. If a security flaw is found in one of those services, hackers will search those databases for servers with those services running and try to exploit them. If you aren’t in those databases they can’t easily find you before you are able to patch.


  • I did a few meal kits subscriptions a while back when I got coupons that made them very cheap/free(can’t remember). Did them in my name and then my wife’s name, too. One was called Home Chef, I can’t find where I got the coupon, though.

    Privacy.com makes doing that so much easier. It allows you to create debit card numbers that have spending limits, and can be shut off. You can sign up for subscription plans and not have to worry about these companies making it insanely hard to cancel.
