Hello, I am also new at self hosting semi recently. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once your over the hump, it gets a lot better.

First, 100% use docker desktop if your using windows. Most github projects have a docker file you can use. This will take out 90% of the setup required and you don’t have to worry about applications not working on your computer. Thats the point of docker, to remove the “doesn’t work on my computer” problem.

Here are some independent github projects that I found useful for me and were simple to setup.

• excalidraw - digital whiteboard. You don’t need to self host this, but its a fun little project. You can just go to excalidraw.com and have 100% of the same features (it is all saved in your browser’s cache).
• mealie - I cook a lot so this is a nice ‘permanent’ cook book to have.
• warracker - I always forget what I have warranties on, so this will be helpful for me.
• Arr projects like sonarr, radarr, Jellyfin - sonarr and radarr is a good project to sink your teeth into (do not recommend using docker for this, I had issues with my docker container connecting to my external drives because I have Windows Home edition). This ecosystem is usually everyone’s first project along with pihole since its so useful. Sonarr and radarr will probably take you a week or weekend, Jellyfin will take like 5 min.

Only if the day ends with a major headline.

I would find out the ‘true’ reason why you feel this anxiety.

You say its because of min-maxing, but why do you want to do this? Do you have a lot of activities that you do on the weekend, do you feel rushed, do you feel a lack of control, etc.?

We all have this anxiety in life, some longer than others. For me, I felt like I had little control of my life, so I focused on that and now I feel fine of the weekends. Of course I want them longer, but I manage.

Also, try deliberately ‘living in the moment’ more actively. Go outside and take a 15 min walk. What do you notice in the walk? How is the weather? Did you neighbor finally clean up that trash on the side of his door? Is the park busy? etc. During your walk act like a detective and soak in all the activities and information around you.

Might help you ‘feel more grounded’.

Only if they want to.

And that is a HUGE if. Most people after their formal education decide to stop learning. And learning is the most important form of change.

Love Kojima. Will play anything he makes even for a little because of his legacy.

I am really trying to get into games blind, especially a Kojima experience, but can someone tell me if this is looking like a ‘true’ Death Stranding 2, as in, the same overall game play loop of delivering packages and finding human connection in the world?

Well… to me this seems awfully close to “stop hitting yourself problem”.

Why are you looking comments everywhere? Do you really need that information to make a decision? Is it so bad to play a bad game now and then? I don’t see a problem, because this problem is easily avoidable by not going to social media for opinions.

Or am I missing the point?

Yeah no robber is doing this.

Stalker yes. But most people don’t get stalked.

And this is coming from someone who thinks any bumper stickers that contain any words is trashy.

Hi! My partner is a middle school band teacher. I have been trying to find anything that is music related for her so I can help her classroom workflow.

Any recommendations? Because I honestly can’t find anything good. I will check out Sheetable soon.

Yeah, as a past tax accountant, I wouldn’t count on it.

Because not only would you need to be updating tax regulation every year (which is completely unpredictable with new laws and interpretations) you would also need to update it for every country and state/providence.

No one should do that for free.

My partner and I have played 4 hours so far. It is definitely a good game, feels smooth platforming wise. Also isn’t ‘easy’ (casual gamer standards) since it has a lot of different types of gameplay that they throw at you and makes you think on your feet. For instance, my partner (who is a gamer, but only for certain genres) had trouble with flying/driving in some sections.

So far a 5/5 game. I did come across some bugs, but nothing annoying or game breaking. Just funny ‘hiccups’ like sticking to objects that can be fixed by just button mashing or something.

Been trying to decide on what to allow on my computer/home server.

But on my phone I allow texts, emails (don’t get many of them), discord (dms and certain chats), phone, and that is probably it. So just communication applications.

As an amateur hobbyist, I am so glad I found out about docker with github projects. Holy shit made my life a lot easier.
