My first thoughts were the DS’s pictochat or maybe PSP. No clue about how to use them like this, I doubt “modern” tools exist (yet). But it’s creative, interesting, and I like the needless extra steps…so I support it

Thanks! I bookmarked your comment, and I’ll look into it

These are the niche things I subscribe for. I need guides

No joke, I was talking about this recently. I feel like niche groups (me included) are just going full-circle back to the DS days

Seconded, I’m an idiot with networking, but this has worked for me

I mean…VM, run Tor as a container within the VM, and don’t change any default settings. Amiright guys?

You can even run the browser in a docker container if you’re extremely paranoid (I’m on the verge)

I’d recommend something like a split tunnel then. And I’m only saying that because I’m not well-versed in networking like this, especially when containers are involved.

But I do have containers routing their traffic through a VPN via gluetun, and it’s worked flawlessly.

I think I’m missing something…why bother with SOCKS5 if you’re using a gluetun container? I’ve never done what you’re trying to do, but I’d assume gluten by itself is the solution

Today, I own 3 CRTs and they don’t make my eyes burn

Nope! I could watch one all day, no clue why

Modern displays make my eyes hurt

I’d like to know too. I’ve never used my TV as a traditional TV, and I hate the “smart” features. Ideally, I’d like a modern 16:9 CRT under 80lbs, but they don’t exist

Have you tried Simplewall? Similar situation, but I’m a Mullvad user, and I haven’t had any issues

I’m hopeful that other projects like Jellyfin (which can support scrobbling via plugins) will turn this around

Had no idea that existed, I wonder what the security is like

Yeah, that’s why I use TailScale at all. I host services for my close friends to enjoy

The biggest downside, as I understand it, is that it’s difficult to convince others to use your tailnet

No

Couldn’t agree more
