  • The first movie was fun. The second was ok. I kind of see this franchise going the route of the Ocean’s movies. First one was really good, and they got progressively less good as they marched on. With the last one, they leaned into the humor to overshadow the lack of cleverness in the plot. I’m not sure Now You See Me has the star power to push mediocrity as far as Ocean’s did. Don’t get me wrong, I like the cast, and I really do hope they can put out something genuinely clever that showcases the talented cast they have.




  • First, it’s important for people to understand that democratic governance is compromise. At least when elected officials play by the rules (cough, Trump/GOP).

    Second, I don’t think Mamdani was ever going to turn. NYC into a “socialist paradise,” like all the rich/right-wing/centrist Chicken Littles warned. The best he can hope to do is pull the state party back to the left. Maybe find some success with progressive policies and open the door for more progressive candidates.

    Democrats have been trying for so long to get the mythical “moderate Republican” vote that they’ve effectively become the centrist party, and it’s allowed the GOP to move further and further to the right to where Tea Partiers are now the moderates! It’s good to see a true progressive win a major election, even if it is NYC (the city did also elect Rudy & Bloomberg to the post).









  • So I got back to my server, and here’s what I do:

    gluetun settings:

    services:
      gluetun:
    *snip*
        ports:
    *snip*
          - 8090:8090 # port for qbittorrent
    *snip*
    

    qbittorrent (in the same compose.yml):

      qbittorrent:
        image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
        container_name: qbittorrent
        environment:
    *snip*
          - WEBUI_PORT=8090
    *snip*
        network_mode: service:gluetun # run on the vpn network
        depends_on:
          gluetun:
            condition: service_healthy
    *snip*
    

    Also, in qbittorrent settings you can bind it to a network device. In my case it’s “tun0.” This same thing can probably be done w/ a docker network in a gluetun container and separate containers that rely on that network being up, but I haven’t looked into it. Right now, I have 2 other services that require VPN, and I’m looking at possibly 1 or 2 more. That’s pretty manageable as a single stack, I think.
