There’s an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It’s in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it’s one of my goto games.

Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you’re into there’s at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It’s actually novel to fly under the radar for once.

What do you do that doesn’t have a community associated with it?

    Bash scripting, firewall config, vpn tunnelling, and containerization ( rootless Podman ).

    I’m into combining these in interesting ways.

    While it could be argued that there are tons of communities for these, combining them to run secure apps or automate their setups don’t seem to be as popular.

    It’s a hot topic at social events, as you can imagine.

      hmmm… I’m having some issues with VPN tunneling in my docker config. I wonder if you might have some advice?

        That sounds a bit ambiguous, though I should have prefaced my previous comment with the fact that I am still very much learning about this stuff myself.

        More recently, I am trying to wrap my head around containerized VPN connections through WireGuard using gluetun. The idea sounds great, in theory. Figuring out how to make it work will probably be less so.

        If you mean just accessing a service through VPN from the outside world, then I might be able to help.

        I’ve done it successfully a few times. Most of the issues I have ever had were usually with misconfigured firewall rules around NAT.
