  • Tbh being open mostly works out for me.

    There have been some bad situations and there are definitely persons where I am afraid to open up too much and therefore don’t do it.

    But I like to give people an “Vertrauensvorschuss” (Not sure how to say this in English). Basically I am giving them my trust until they prove not worth it it.

    Of course this depends on whether you can afford this or not.

    But overall I feel like this improved my relationship with people.



  • I had a similar problem like you. My provider only gives me a public IPv6 but no public IPv4. Im using a VPS with an IPv4 with jool to set up SIIT-DC https://nicmx.github.io/Jool/en/siit-dc.html

    This converts all IPv4 traffic arriving at the VPS to IPv6 traffic which gets then directly routed to my homeserver.

    Not sure if this setup would work for you. This is not a viable solution if you are completly behind a CGNAT without even a public IPv6.

    Pro:

    • Works without any sensitive Data on the VPS (SSl certificates/passwords…)
    • Works for all IP based traffic (TCP,UDP,ICMP)
    • The original source IPv4 can be restored by the homeserver Contra:
    • AFAIK you cannot choose to only forward some TCP ports. Everything gets redirected.
    • You cannot access the VPS via IPv4 anymore since it gets redirected to your homeserver. (I only access my VPS via IPv6)
    • No (additional) encryption. (This is no problem for me since all my traffic is already e2e encrypted)








  • @Oneser@lemm.ee My biggest tip is to take a look at 100 nto. It lists 100 interesting touristic objects all over Bulgaria. It leads you to many smaller but great places. Google maps has an slightly outdated overlay that shows these places. At most of them you can get a small Booklet. In it you can collect stamps from each visited place.

    The front of the booklet The inside of the booklet

    Some specific places that come to my mind are:

    • Veliko Tarnovo. It’s the former capital and has a big castle ruin. In the evening head to the Monument to the Assen Dynasty and enjoy the view of the city.
    • Smolyan and the area around it. The city has a great Regional History Museum and the area around the City is good for Hiking. Maybe take a Jeep ride up Eagles eye and visit the Yagodinska cave.
    • The Seven Rila Lakes in the Rila mountains. You can take a cable cart up and hike the rest. From there you can also hike to the Rila monastery.
    • The Devetashka Cave. It has these impressive arches. Good for pictures :)
    • Plovdiv. The historic city center and the student filled bars and cafes.
    • Burgas has not only a very nice beach but also the awesome Sea Garden. I would avoid the typical tourist beaches like the Golden Sands near Varna and the Sunny Beach near Nessebar. Instead opt for the central beach in Burgas where most locals go anyway.
    • Try to eat at a механа (Mehana) and order Food in a сач (Sach).
    • Drink some Boza.
