  • Thanks for the answers. I guess that was not clear from my post, but I do not want to expose anything to the internet. All I want to do is tidy up the urls to the services for clarity. I have no issue with installing Tailscale on every device I want to access my services with. I can currently access any service just fine by doing “tailscaleIP:PortOfService”, but that is kind of unpractical. So by using my domain and Cloudflare DNS I changed it to “mydomain.com:PortOfService” which is already better, but means I have to look up what port the service I need uses. Like I said in my post I’d ideally like “nameOfService.mydomain.com”, no ports. And yes I realize this is purely for convenience/aesthetic reasons. Apologies if my words are not clear enough.



  • I would disagree with the choice of words here, yes their stories are often not super deep or intricate, but I do believe they are extremely interesting, specifically because they are presented in such an appealing way.

    Just the elevator pitch for Hades sounds amazingly interesting, “you are the son of Hades fighting his way through procedurally generated dungeons to escape hell”, fuck yeah! Tell me more!

    And the impact is definitely there as well, because while depth is missing, the qualities you described make what little story there is quite impactful.

    Of course this is all just my opinion, but you can’t tell me that “you participate in ritualistic basketball games to free your comrades from a prison wasteland” doesn’t sound interesting.







  • Soo, anyone got any game recommendations? Lemmy already has so few comments and social interaction (the only reason I visit sites like these) so why dilute it even further by focusing on pointless stuff? I swear every time I see a good post and am excited to see what people have to say about it it’s 90 percent pointless arguing in the comments.

    Although I suppose I just contributed to it as well, so carry on I guess.


  • Encouraging someone to do something doesn’t mean them not doing it is bad. I can encourage you to try mayo instead of ketchup on your fries, without implying that you’re an asshole for eating your fries with ketchup. Also, I’m pretty sure me saying “maybe you’d like fries with mayo if you tried it” isn’t bullying. I faced a lot of these issues when I was younger, and while I don’t think it works like that for everyone, I genuinely got over a bunch of them by just forcing myself to confront them.

    The point stands that people should be less self-centred when it comes to what’s ‘normal’, but some of the examples in the tweet come off as (ironically) quite judgemental.


  • Iced Tea is only really a thing in this context in the EU. Most of the people I know (myself included) never really made the connection and were surprised to find out it’s supposed to be real tea on ice, hence the name. We call it ice tea without really thinking about it, just like no one ever thought “I bet they call this coca-cola because it used to be made with cocaine”.

    Honestly don’t even think it tastes like tea. To me it just tastes like “Ice Tea”.
