How is anime and manga more popular than comics and western cartoons?
  • Comics have an issue with Marvel and DC sucking up most of the air in the room just to rehash the same characters for the millionth time. I'm generally pretty unenthused with superhero stuff and the general aesthetic around that content, however I do like batman to an extent and have enjoyed the movies and stuff related to him. If I wanted to read a batman comic where do I even start? The beginning? Which beginning? His first appearance back in the 40s or the beginning of one of the many iterations of batman? Now I have to do research into 80 years of content just to figure out what to read, or just pick one at random.

    The appeal of manga is just being able to read three series in a week that each explore a different setting/idea and are only one volume apiece. If someone tells me to read a longer series I can just start at chapter one and go until I hit the end. Manga/anime absolutely have some oversaturated settings/ideas as well but there's generally a lot more space for other stuff to get seen and do well, get anime adaptations, etc

    Music Monday - what have you been listening to?
  • I live right next to a venue that hosts concerts during the summer so there's no escaping hearing what's playing most of the time despite the special windows my apartment complex supposedly put in.

    A couple days ago they had someone doing some really nice instrumental guitar stuff which I'm always on the lookout for. Turned out to be Hermanos Gutiérrez and I've been really enjoying listening to their stuff since then.

  • Linguistics
  • That said I feel like when people are referring to whether or not something "is a word" they're referring to whether not is has seen historical/widespread usage, not "has somebody ever just decided it meant something, somewhere, at some point"

  • Vulkan 1.3.286 Released With One New Extension
  • Their logos are always great. Took a class on Vulcan in college and managed to snag one of these .

    Should probably wear it more often but it was probably too big for me even at the time

  • Issues forwarding traffic through a wireguard connection

    I am attempting to follow this https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2022/09/wireguard-port-forward-from-internet to forward traffic from a few ports on a public oracle vps to other ports on my local server through a wireguard connection. Currently I am doing this using rinetd, but I was looking for a more normal way of forwarding traffic. (Also looking to forward UDP traffic at some point.)

    After stopping rinetd, adding these rules to the public server's wg config ```

    packet forwarding

    PreUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

    port forwarding

    PreUp = iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.144.65.2:8443 PostDown = iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i ens3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.144.65.2:8443

    packet masquerading

    PreUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wg0 -j MASQUERADE ``` and restarting the wg connection, I'm seeing traffic on the ens3 port but none entering wg0 via tcpdump. I feel like I probably have conflicting iptables rules saved https://pastebin.com/0eNwhNKM but I don't really know enough about whats going on there to fix it. I feel like its probably the wireguard-*-rule ones (created by pivpn possibly?) but I'm not sure.

    Edit way later: Ended up just using rinetd for the udp connections. Ubuntu doesn't include the latest version here https://github.com/samhocevar/rinetd which is able to do UDP connections. The docker container RxBrad suggested uses that version within the docker container to make the redirections so it will be roughly equivalent.
