Ask HN: What software did you purchase that positively impacted your family life
I’m planning on using MagicMirror (https://magicmirror.builders/) to do this in my kitchen but without the mirror part (just a TV mounted in a niche on the wall). Did you build your software from scratch?

The search for the definitive DIY photo frame software
The final option seems to be basically homebrewing a solution using a program like MagicMirror and local image files installed on the pi. There quite a few guides out there on different ways to do this. But

/u/KaiserTom breaks down the results of SETI@home, the big data citizen science project from the 90s/2000s
You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.

How to host a docker based proxy for selected containers
One option I could find is Gluetun, which looks very popular and actively maintained. In this case we have one single point of contact with VPN provider. The other containers should be run with network_mode: service:gluetun. If I understand correctly, those container will use VPN for every network operation, even for inter-container communication. Would they be visible for the containers not attached to gluetun (e.g. the SWAG reverse proxy)?

Easy port-forwarding on linux
After some digging around, I found this project, which I think should get a lot more light on itself. It allows to setup port-forwarding on linux very easily, together with a lot of other things !

running a docker with a torrent client and vpn INSIDE the container... bad idea?
I setup Gluetun with qbittorrent in docker. Gluetun connects to the nord via manual login and I get to choose the specific servers I want it to you in its environment variables.

Gluetun killswitch
Hi guys, I have a dumb question: according to their github page, one of the features is the killswitch. It is not clear to me whether this would shutdown other containers (connected to it) when vpn drops, or only when the whole internet connection goes down
