Bluehost is a shit company. They will make changes to your domain record and make everything broken.

My MX records were removed when I did not extend one of the hosting with them.


I didn’t use any API account (opensubtutle was still free and open to public).

  1. most of the time I got a hit (subliminal supports many sites with API access)
  2. If missed, I check the file with mediainfo and check fps.
  3. If there is release info and fps, I manually downloaded by searching with FPS.
  4. If fps is correct and timing is out I use subler to correct the time after manually syncing time with VLC or MPV

These days, *arr setup (according to trash guide) and Plex pass automatically get me the subtitles.


I used to use subliminal command line to download subtitles.

subscene is the website I used to find (no api) if subliminal failed.


Migrated from deluge, rTorrent, uTorrent and transmission to qBitorrent.

Deluge has problem when you have many torrents seeding or downloading.

rTorrent setup is not very easy.

uTorrent and Transmission are not recommended for not following the etiquette and bundling other software AFAIR.


The culprit is AdGuardDNS settings.

I visited the sites on the desktop with NextDNS all are fine.


The pricing depends on the DC location (and other obvious factor). The one I have is in New Jersey (have to confirm) and 3.5 USD per month.


I have a 5 USD per month VPS on Vultr.com


Something to do with kimono.su and coomer.su site? A downloader?

Bother sites are said to be deceptive sites when trying to access using AdGuardDNS and uBlock origin on Android Firefox.


I also try o, O, 0, *, {

t, f, g, a, y, k, w, W to quickly check the styles


Monaspace AUR-packaged fonts do not registered as monospace font in ArchLinux.

Though Konsole can be configured to use the font, Kitty does not recognize it. Manual install in macOS works for Kitty.

I like Neon and Argon variants of Monaspace.

My favorite was PragmataPro (not free) but it has different glyphs from Nerd Fonts. Similar ones are Iosevka, Victor, Mplus 1 code. Now new favorite is JetbrainsMono NF.

SF code, Fira Code are also in the favorite list.

Lab mono, fragment Mono are nice and planning to try them.

Generally I like condense (but not too condesed) round fonts.

I didn’t expect the last act of the user. Simply amazing.


I think OP means programming language. Not the languages used by human to communicate each other.


You should have striken out the part you didn’t want. So the person reading the comments know the changes.


I used to use 12ft.io whenever I needed to read a paywalled article.

Is the “Bypass paywall clean” extension better than 12ft.io?


Check networking.

In theory vm network should be configured to be bridge (I do not remember the exact wording)

Here is the similar problem to yours. (And solution)

Check out MXRoute.

You need to be a technical enough to manage domains and panel management (but not as involved as self-hosting).

They have decent support documents and responsive support.

They frequently have promotion for lifetime, multi domains, multi accounts (limited only by 10GB in storage size) email hosting.

I got mine in 2021 with 125 USD (one time payment). Hosted my work and family emails. During the period I only have 1 issue related to spam fighting and resolved with 1 day. With previous hosting price, MXRoute is already more cost effective after 1 year.


There are more expensive but easier RJ45 head (like 3 pieces design). Some design requires tailored made crimper and such crimpers are more expensive.

Export the data and structure in SQL. SQL is plain text and suitable for git.

If data can be seeded easily only export the structure and git control it.

In Rails framework, schema file and seed file are used for structure and data.


Don’t rely too much on chatgpt before you understand the basic concept.

You should also read the books. E.g. pick axe book(i.e. programming with ruby). You could also find the recommended books in your CS50 course. Also ask your online course buddies and instructors for help.

If you only have exp in html, css and js, don’t regard yourself as you are already familiar with programming. Learn as a beginner. Go back to the earliest topics you have trouble with. Try to get the concept and work your ways to the situation where you feel overwhelmed.

Good luck!



Depending on OP location, availability and price might differ (150 USD for Nvidia shield and 200 for pro).



I think Android TV stick or box will be better.

For recommendation, I do not have one.


sync server for firefox

Firefox browser data can be synced across devices. The sync service provided by Mozilla. This server is selfhosted alternative written in Rust and dockerized for easier deployment.

It’s like leasing warehouses to store all our treasures.

These days pirates do not use islands to bury treasures.


Recently change node+npm+esbuild to bun runtime+package management+bundling and happy with the result.

The project is a static site built with middleman, tailwind, postcss and some frontend libraries.

It was simpler to work with for me. Node is way faster than ruby and so node speed was never an issue for me. But bun install is noticeably faster even for a small project.


My one-man software development company is using bitbucket along with a local mirror (with Gitea).


They also add domain privacy for all the purchases with 0 cost.



In my experience. ORM has its limitations.

You can only depend on ORM upto a point. Beyond that you have to go use Arel (relationship algebra in Ruby), execute prepared SQL statement, trigger and functions.

I use ORM for concise, easier to read and maintainable code. e.g. joining three or more tables in SQL is cumbersum and verbose. Writing related multiple query is too time consuming, etc.

I learnt from relational algebra, SQL, ORM to vendor specific SQL.
