The best code its given me I’d been able to search for and find where it was taken. Hey it helped me discover some real human blogs with vastly more helpful information.

(If you’re curious, it was circa when there was that weird infight at openclosedAI with altman, I prompted to give code to find the rotational inertia per axis and to my surprise and suspicion the answer made too much sense. Backsearching I found where I believe it got this answer from)

+1 for Proxmox, has been a fun experience as there are plenty of resources and helper scripts to get you off the ground, jellyfin was the first thing I migrated from my PC, hardware encoding may give you a bit of a tussle but nothing unsolveable. Also note Proxmox is Debian under the hood, so you may find it easy to work with. I looked into unraid, it seems great if all you’re doing for the most part is storage, if you want Linux containers and virtual machines, proxmox js your bet.

I got a small 4 bay 2U server from a friend on the cheap, 1000$ should get you relatively nice new or slightly older used hardware. Even just a PC with a nice amount of drive bays will get you started. And drives are cheap, a raid 1 setup was one of the things I did.

In the end I’ll likely get a separate NAS rack server just to segregate functions, but as of now I simply have a Proxmox LXC mounted to my NAS drives and runs samba to expose them.

Tailscale is a nice set and forget solution for VPN access, I ended up going the route of getting an SSL certified domain and beefing up my firewall a bit. The bit I’ve messed with it it certainly has a learning curve greater than openvpn, but is much more hardened and versatile.

As for pihole, I’ve found AdGuard Home to be just about a suitable replacement, and can be installed along openwrt, though I have a bit of an unconventional router with 512MB of RAM so YMMV

That’s just the beauty of its spell system, found yourself a trigger spell, double cast, and chainsaw? Well now you have a gattling wand. Want to impose 4 billion damage onto your archenemy? One simple spell may do the trick

God run, greed calls… Midas’d myself. Had to take a couple month break lol

E: oh and dont get me started on poly mage

Let me introduce you to: Noita

Fish-Swapper: Mostly same as deer-swapper, but fish do not explode and are an alternative to deercoy.

And other fun sentences. The wandbuilding mechanics are second to none. You will accidentally kill yourself, and you may not know how.

I got a 1U 32GB and a 4 core Xeon for 20$, you just have to make at least 3 more posts

Gramps needed his excel icon - on the monitor I might add - or else. Debloat and activation scripts got him his windows 7 and office 2007 experience back, he was very appreciative of my “hack”, merely for the same experience he paid for back some 15 years.

He doesn’t know what a “Linux” is, but I am greatful that people are still invested enough to make utilities to return back to a more user centric experience in windows - even if I certainly don’t care to go back

Ah that sounds interesting, I took a full stack web development one. We just blazed through the fundamentals of JS before landing on MERN architecture the last couple weeks of class, my class of 28 was reduced to 15 by the halfway point, then 10 by the end.

I certainly dont feel ready for the field by any means but I’m still yet to send it. I would honestly consider a class over managing a freelance business, but I’d be afraid it would pan out how yours did

Yeah but does a WordPress template build to an 800kB distributable? Checkmate B)

Thats really funny though, Ive been doing about the same thing. Did you by chance also get yourself through one of those bootcamps? I feel burned by it honestly

Its not something I had set out intending but Homeassistant has made a great replacement for life360 across ecosystems, though you’ll need a server of sorts and either a VPN on each device or a domain with SSL.

Locus seems interesting, just took a quick glance. alternatives.to is always a great bet finding some replacement services, there’s a good few others for location tracking

Well, you know, just in case you haven’t heard of it

I was attempting this, but TP link doesnt actually care to tag their different SSIDs to vlans and don’t provide the configuration to, I only found that their guest may be tagged on some models. Just a word of caution, I think I’ll have to use IP range filters to achieve this

If my name is written in FULL CAPS is it legally me? Or is that maritime law?

My employer says they don’t pay to non FDIC institutions

Where is my routing number?

Yes thank you I will have my employer update my direct deposit information now

I was genuinely concerened I had a skill issue with NC, glad I’m not alone

Its so weirdly addictive, started with proxmox, then to home assistant, now I have frigate handling PoE cameras, every bedroom has a morning alarm light automation, the vacuum starts itself, its ridiculous

Hey don’t mean to hijack, I know tailscale isnt necessarily a tunnel (correct me if I’m wrong) but does it provide the typical issues with apps like android auto not working while connected to a VPN?

Thank you very much for that final note, I just love misleading marketing tactics and actually may not have noticed. Cheers!
