I’ve tried, but I wasn’t able to get it working. I’ll look into it again though, cuz I’d love to do it all through NPM.

I agree, very beginner friendly. But also, it’s what most people are gonna need.

I actually started with Traefik because I didn’t know any better, and I kinda wanna go back to be honest because with Traefik I was able to configure a Minecraft server, without having to expose the port. But not with NGINX Proxy Manager.l, since it only does http and shit. But I REALLY like being able to do everything via a webUI since I only have a phone to manage my server .

So, I find myself stuck between functionality and ease of use. :(

I hope I’m able to properly communicate my thoughts to you! Haha

Alright, so to start, it reads sort of like a tv show, in the way that every chapter we get a shift in perspective and what character we are following. It shifts between 2 narratives. Sort of like every chapter is a different episode. Perhaps I just don’t read enough, but this constant back and forth seemed a little odd to me in a written medium? Including the prologue, we get 3 different character POVs.

As for the pacing, it isn’t slow, but it isn’t fast either. I’d say it’s well-paced, but each POV seems to have a slightly different speed, where a chapter for one character could be just a typical day, the chapter for the next character could span a few weeks. This doesn’t interrupt the story much at all, and it really seems to only serve to enhance the readers immersion in this world and how fast or slow things move in space and “The Belt” as it’s called in the series.

Speaking of the world, so far, it has been built and established pretty wonderfully. 114 pages into the first book of the series, and the writer never seems to shoehorn in exposition into the narrative, but rather it’s, usually, a tasteful cutaway to a flashback of sorts that explains perhaps who they’re talking to/about, or what event happened to kick off a chain reaction and why, etc.

I have encountered 1 misspelling so far earlier in the book, and it’s probably just me, but it’s stuck with me since.

In terms of its actual writing and language used, the author uses basic, everyday language, with a few “$5” words sprinkled in that can sometimes cause confusion, although that could just be due to my limited personal dictionary. Overall, it doesn’t detract from the story, especially if you’re willing to take a moment to look up a word or 2 every couple chapters.

In terms of “sci-fi”-ness, so far everything the entire series has taken place either in the empty vacuum of space, or smaller stations scattered throughout the solar system. The way the author describes some everyday actions and activities, and their difficulty or impossibility in the altered gravity of space and/or space stations really sucks me into the universe as it makes me believe that even though these people are humans, they’re living an entirely different existence, with different rules.

I said a lot, especially for only being 114 pages into the first book, but it has sucked me back into reading, and I commend it for that.

Also, a few articles I’ve seen scattered across the internet when searching for other books in the series have called it “the greatest sci-fi series of the decade” for whatever that’s worth to you.

Oh, and they also have a “major” tv show based on the books.

Hope this comment answers a few questions for you :)

I don’t know if I’d call it a slump. I liked reading, but just don’t read much.

But I recently picked up James S. A. Corey’s first book in “The Expanse” universe, Leviathan Wakes, and I’m having troubling putting it down!

I just started “Leviathan Wakes”, the first novel in The Expanse universe. According to Google I’m about 25% through, and I’m loving it!

I’m not much of a reader, but I just can’t seem to put this down !

So, I have no idea what your patterns, habits, and just general life is like, but I actually use it for some subscriptions. I currently pay for Sync for Lemmy using it, and also for a mass texting app.

Are there any mobile games you like? You can use it for some iAP’s :)

If there is an app that you’ve been eyeing but it is a little more than you’d like to spend, maybe use your credits on that!

That’s how I paid for 1Password 7 a few years ago lol

How was this posted 2 years ago?

On the connect for lemmy app, it thinks it’s a user lol.

So unfortunately I didn’t play video games until about 2001 when I turned 5 and got an N64 for my first Christmas in the USA. The game itself is from 2000 though.

Mickey’s Speedway USA for the N64.

Goddamn I loved that game. I have so many fun memories with it.

Awesome, thank you for taking the time to a deer my questions.

I see it says authenticatior support, but I’m not sure if that means what I think it means in this case.

I’m reading through it, but maybe you can anwser it faster.

Does this support generating 2FA authenticator codes like 1password does?

Agreed.

Idk if I can do this. I really want/like the saved snippets so I don’t have to retype everything over and over again lol

Bro, fucking yes!!

I have 3 Google nest mini speakers or whatever they’re called, and I bought these smart outlets at target.

Connected 2 of them in the master bedroom, to bedside lamps for wifey and i. Being able to use the Google home app from our phones to control, or as you said just “hey Google, turn on Daddy’s lamp” is fucking solid. I hate flicking on light switches. Never realized it until I set this up.

Yes! Glad you doing it! Quick note: apparently, 2 characters is too short for a display name lol

I haven’t had a chance to play with it, but apparently Ansible is supposed to be able to automate your server commands?

Might be worth a look.

Thanks! I didn’t know about it :)

Seconded !
