Tailscale also has the funnel option to open up a single service to the outside world without needing a reverse proxy and has its own ssl certificates

It was the IT crowd, a TV show, not real life

I second Lenovo tiny. I have 3 x m920q with a gigabit switch and total combined power draw is about 53w

It came down to the fact that Google has a lot of deals with different companies giving favourable terms whereas Apple either didn’t do that or was smart enough to hide it

It’s an ongoing fee. The initial fee is raised by 3 times, and if the property is empty for more than 6 months of the year, they are charged twice the fee (so 6 times what the fee currently is, which starts at $13200aud and is up to $105600aud depending on the value of the property)

This means it will cost tens of thousands of dollars up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, each year, to leave it empty over half the year

Or black

The US isn’t the only country giving aid and weapons… other countries have provided extra stuff in the meantime

Not sure this would entirely replace portainer for me since that manages multiple machines, but I am keen to play with this

You’re assuming that everybody that buys a tablet like this also wants/has a laptop. Many people ONLY want the tablet as a portable computer while having a more powerful desktop in their home or office

In my case I have a tablet and a laptop, but my laptop ends up staying at home 99% of the time docked and acting as a desktop. When it comes time to replace it, I’ll just get a desktop and keep the tablet

And one of the main reasons they haven’t surpassed the US in military spending is because CCP controls the entire production there and don’t pay 600% markup on anything military

I can see hundreds of downloads and none are mine lol

It also thinks I’m in North America when I’m in Australia (currently no VPN to view it), which is the first site that put me outside the country

I’m from Australia and on disability pension. And yeah, I have 3 Linux boxes to play with haha

Yeah life tends to get in the way of hobbies like that… as for me, I started the Linux foundation certified systems administrator course recently but only got a little into before my health went down and a few other things, but hopefully can get back into it soon

How goes the new hobby?

This is exactly right… A lot of bots already pay for blue since it promotes them and prevents them from getting blocked/muted so easily

$1/bot/yr will be nothing to bot farms

Not only is it acceptable in “any way”, it’s the only acceptable way to handle it

Check out tubearchivist. Now has Plex plugin so can grab the videos from subscribed channels automatically

I get blocked with ublock origin but not with ublock lite

It’s not hard to setup a pi as a backup DNS on your local network, but how I’ve setup a few friends who have limited hardware is to have the primary DNS as the local adguard and the secondary DNS as adguards public adblock DNS

That way if the local falls over, you still get some as ad blocking from their public one. If your setup allows it, they also have a public doh and dot encrypted dns for a bit of privacy

Congrats on your new slippery slope haha

ike I fire up a docker image which plays music (if that’s even possible?) it has to have access to the disc, sound drivers, maybe interactive stuff etc on the host PC right?

So the main things you’ll want to read up on for that are mounts. Mounts will let you attach files and folders from the host computer into the docker container that it sees as if it’s inside the container.

A lot of docker apps will run a web host, so instead of accessing them like a normal application, you load up the website that’s located at the IP address, and the exposed port. Then just like running Netflix or anything, it already has access to local sound and video devices through that

This also means that you can open them up to other computers/devices on the home network… so your phone could load it up and play music or your windows PC could, and it’s all served from that docker container

If you’re interested in hosting media, you could look into Plex or jellyfin, they are media servers that can stream self hosted videos, music and photos over the network.

There’s a lot of other options that are more specific, and what’s right for everybody else might not be right for you so it’s worth playing around with various options
