What’s crazy is, bus stops, and their associated shelters DO NOT MOVE.

TIL

I haven’t used it in a few years, I use a certain anonymous rodent to get my books now.

If you’re using Mullvad as your VPN Tailscale supports it right out of the box. You could use Tailscale only and use Mullvad’s VPN as an exit node. This is probably the easiest and most out-of-the-box ready solution.

Is it possible to get her Kindle books on the Kobo or is the DRM a nightmare nowadays?

Calibre has a plugin for that: DeDRM

May as well get some more mileage out of docker and install pi-hole too.

What if you’re away from home and want to play, certainly a situation resolved by a mesh VPN like tailscale (or self-host headscale).

etc.etc.etc

Yeah, setup a pi-hole container/server to do DHCP and disable it on your router. The documentation should cover it, but you have to use network_mode: host in order for it to do DHCP.

You can then add an A record entry for your Immich server’s domain name pointing to the LAN IP and so any device on your LAN will resolve its domain to the LAN IP.

You also get pi-hole DNS filtering/adblock and, probably, a larger DNS cache than what the router provides.

On your LAN DNS server (say, pi-hole), you could add an A record for your Immich’s domain name that points to the internal IP address so clients on your LAN would simply resolve the LAN IP instead of trying to do fancy NATing. Make sure your browser doesn’t try to do DNS over HTTPS, which would skip your local dns.

Or you could run everything on a meshVPN like Tailnet. That way the (VPN) IP of the Immich server doesn’t change and the Tailnet will route the traffic over your LAN when your clients are local.

Now do Facebook, Twitter and Reddit.

Secure Boot has nothing to do with Microsoft, it’s a UEFI feature.

You can enroll your own Platform Key and have complete control over the entire Secure Boot system.

I use a signed Unified Kernel Image to use Secure Boot and my machine has zero Microsoft software on it. (Arch, btw)

There’s an XKCD for everything. How do they know?!

JET FUEL DOESN’T MELT 5G SIGNALS WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Depends on the program, they don’t use system libraries so if they have a lot of dependencies then they’ll be larger.

An example:

Steam Flatpak: 35MB

Steam pacman: 19MB

On one hand, it’s only a few MB. On the other hand, it’s 54% larger.

Flatpaks can also depend on other flatpaks. For example, graphics card support requires about 1-1.5GB of flatpak dependencies even though your system already has graphics card drivers.

Tailscale and Rustdesk are my go to for family PCs.

Just clone the repo, chmod +x the install.sh and run that. ez

Also, it’s a low sample size so the variability will be massive.

A 50% increase sounds like a lot but, like you said, it could also just be one or two more than the previous year.

Given that they’re considering Flock, I’d guess that Flock is feeding them fear-porn statistics like this. It’s misleading but most people don’t understand statistics enough to know that they’re being misled.

Finally, the tyranny of the terminal is at an end.

I’m glad you got it figured out!

Just pay it forward, there’s always people with questions that need answered :P

Those are two different things.

You’re moving the goalposts, you said:

What matters infinitely more is who has access to your data. And Google is one of the worst offenders.

That’s completely different than who benefits financially from your phone purchase.

solidarity is required

Your team building tactics could use some work.
