Thanks for the info, definitely motivated to learn and try Docker more now.

Cool I will look into it, I always thought I was stuck not port forwarding due to the campus situation, and therefore stuck with bad upload speeds. In fact that was a reason I was going to use Mullvad in the future despite them not having port forwarding, but I'll have to consider some other suggestions if I can get the port forwards working.

Neat! Thanks

Definitely will look into Docker more, I've heard of it but hadn't gotten around to giving it a shot before. Gluetun is not something I've heard of though. Sounds like a good setup for what I want. Any suggestions on getting started with Docker?

Can't say I'm familiar with media servers exactly - do you mean Jellyfin, Plex, etc. or something more like adding Arr services. Didn't know speeds could be improved either

Yep I was going to fire up a streaming site while torrenting last night, oxymoronic I know, and realized that Netflix or whatever would likely misbehave because of the VPN. Thanks for the other VPN suggestions

I guess I could've made that part a DDG search :) Thank you for the reminder, it does sound like exactly what I wanted on a little more research.

Just meant that being on student housing I am unable to access a router / configure any port forwarding (to my knowledge). PIA's VPN does support port forwarding though.

edit - Sorry, I misread part of your comment. Didn't realize forwarding could be used without router access.

A smaller dedicated PC has been something I've been considering, maybe a used laptop even?

Not sure what upload speeds I'm getting but I do have high capacities. Also considering getting into private trackers because I'd like to be maintaining a high ratio.

Sadly my situation is incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN.

Definitely awesome, bookmarked for future use.

Split tunnels sounds familiar and like what I want.

I plan to switch to mullvad in the future, figure for low stakes stuff I can use up the rest of PIA for now. Thanks for the heads up though

So the show is picture in picture overlaid on the ship interior? Sounds great in VR

Oh I was thinking of Dicey Dungeons, took me ages to remember the name. S&D looks fun

Ooh - Panel de Pon reminds me of Puyo Puyo Tetris which I have ~200 hours in on Steam.

Sounds interesting! Looks fun with friends / online

She was instantly into the Steam version of Solitaire, thank you for the suggestion. I think I'll try it in the future through the family sharing.

Nice that was a fun tutorial, crashed twice before it clicked. Thanks for the suggestion

Neat, I will suggest Cozy Solitaire to my girlfriend. I heard Zachtronics makes a good Solitaire iOS game too.

I think I have tried Slice and Dice, generally I am not great at games such as Slay the Spire and the like, but S&D was more accessible.

Factorio is great, might be worth a new run. I have never actually beaten the game, and made it furthest on peaceful mode when I did get to stages like nuclear power.

They've been bad for calling people in my experience for years.
