I have a home server running Plex, but access is local only. I'd love to run some other applications as well, but I need to access these remotely. Anyone have a simple, straightforward and secure process for remote access to a home ser

I'm sure you'll get lots of answers, but one of my top 10 games is the Portal series. The puzzles and humor and story are well worth it IMO. The Civilization games I also recommend. Whether that expands a teen's mind I'm

Tried it, simple enough. Are number of tiles revealed tracked or is the only statistic just number of guesses? It'd be a better metric to see how many guesses it took with how many tiles were revealed. Right now it looks like I could r
