If I'm viewing a news article and it's soft paywalled, I'll often go into the URL bar in chrome and prefix the URL with archive.is/ which brings you to a full copy of the article.

Is there any app out there that can act as a share intent or whatever it's called so if you click "share" and then pick the app from the menu, it would do this for you?

I run a Plex server on in a Docker container on a Linux machine in my house on a Verizon FiOS internet connection. I've shared my library with many people and no one has a problem. Except one person who uses optimum.net as their service provider. When in their house I can't direct connect to my Plex server, and everything gets sent through at 1mbps, I assume relayed through Plex.

I have a Tailscale mesh VPN setup for myself. I installed Tailscale on the "Chromecast with Google TV" Android app and connected it to my VPN. I set it up to route all traffic through the VPN using the same physical server that runs Plex as it's Exit Node. When this is enabled, everything works fine.

What could be causing this. Another odd artifact of this set up - while connected to the optimum.net network I can't even make simple HTTPS requests to a web server running in another Docker container on the same Linux machine as Plex. The request appears to never even make it to the server.

Following another thread a few days ago someone's comment is stuck in my head:

Quick background: I've spent about 20 years in technology. I've been an in-house dev for a traditional company. I've been a sales engineer for a small software company. I then went to a FAANG and spent 10+ years as a sales engineer, software engineer and engineering manager. The last year+ I've been on a self-funded sabbatical to try to figure out what I want to do next. I just... haven't done a whole lot of figuring.

I'd strongly prefer something part-time, and also strongly prefer something that's nearly 100% remote.

Ideas that have come to mind:

• Software sales engineering (again)
• Technical Project Manager
• Entry level dev work
• Get certified to be a SalesForce administrator
• Something something DevOps?

I think I'd like something where there was a queue of work to pull from and just get some shit done. Over the last 5-10 years it got exhausing having to be involved in mostly long-term planning and not get the pavlovian "oh I just closed another bug" itch scratched. Though I guess that somewhat eliminates the TPM idea?

For any of the above, or something else, I don't even know where to start. Are there decent temp agencies to work for who can farm you out? Do they deal with part-timers? I could probably work my network as well to try to find something.
