He is clear on it, he just doesn’t want to admit it

I was fortunate enough to get invited to a ballroom dancing class in high school and fell in love with it. It’s exercise and a social experience all in one fairly affordable package. Where I live an hour long group class is $10 a head. I wouldn’t do private lessons for these purposes. And if you like it, there are so many subcultures! There are entire groups dedicated to certain dances like West Coast swing and Argentine tango. Regular social dances on the weekends in addition to classes. YMMV based on where you live, but dancing with the stars has brought ballroom into the mainstream and there are quality studios in most decent sized US cities as far as I know.

Journal. Then a sappy romance anime until I feel better. If it’s a consistent issue and not just a bad week there is no substitute for therapy.

I use the tiller extension in Google sheets. With the community savings budget template to allow for 0 based or “envelope” budgeting. One of the few things in my life so far ahead of every other option I couldn’t bring myself to ditch it and selfhost.

IP and port are what I put in my browser

I converted an old laptop into a home theater PC. My friend bought spare components for cheap and built a desktop for the same purpose. Not for everyone, but a great solution for some use cases. And can potentially fill other roles, like being your jellyfin host.

While shopping I suggest you find a spreadsheet with the capabilities of every device you’re considering. A lot don’t support certain formats, which can limit the kind of files and content you can stream. Last I checked shield and the Google TV stick thing were trouncing the competition.

Definitely need remote access, and tunneling in every time I want to sync my notes app is way too much work. I’ve containerized these services as a security layer and you need user creds to access anything without an exploit. I’m comfortable with that level of risk.

Dynamic DNS is a very cool thing I didn’t know exists. I’ll definitely look into it further! But for the time being I still need a fix for my problem.

Who exactly is having trouble believing this?
