AMD should remove the HDMI port from all of their GPUs as a nice F.U. to the HDMI forum. They shouldn’t be paying the licensing fees if they are not allowed to make full use of the hardware.

Yes, if you have IPv6, you can open a port in the firewall and have external access. Whatever you are accessing it from must have IPv6 as well though.

Use SSH. Ether open a port in the firewall or connect it to a VPN. If the backups are done on a schedule, you could also setup a cron job on the Pi to send the WoL packet a few minutes ahead of time.

You could use a very low power computer that’s always on like a Raspberry PI Zero W to send the WoL packet to the backup computer. It only uses about 1 watt. Some routers have the ability to send a WoL packet as well.

SFTP or WebDAV would work.

I’ve never had any issues on my phone using Fennec or Firefox. I don’t have many addons installed apart from uBlock Origin. I wouldn’t be surprised if some privacy addons cause issues with Anubis though.

My phone has an unlocked bootloader and I still can’t install LineageOS because they don’t have an image for it.

Jellyfin is free open source software, they don’t have the money to provide free proxies to their users.

RAM prices will come down sometime after the AI bubble bursts and they start making more DDR5 again.

Inleed.xyz has free email hosting with IMAP and POP3 access. You can have as many accounts as you want, but there’s a limit of 1GB shared between all of them.

They’ve had it for years. It can be difficult to sign up for though.

You get a lot of resources for free, but don’t use them for anything important. They can nuke your account for any reason.

Yes, they do require you to use their nameservers unless you have a business account.

I used to use dynv6, but I started having issues about 2 years ago. DNS records would just stop resolving until I deleted and recreated them. Their forum has been broken for years, so there’s no way to get support.

If you only need 5 records or less, give FreeDNS a try.

If you leave the phone on the charger for years, the battery will swell up and split the case or crack the screen.

That means apps tend to stop working if the developers don’t keep updating them. Mobile operating systems much, much worse backwards compatibility than windows. If the device hosts its own website instead of using an app, it will most likely work fine decades from now without any updates.

Mobile apps bit rot pretty quickly when they stop updating them. A web UI would be better. A server or internet connection is not needed, a web UI can be hosted directly on the device.

Keep the firewall on dedicated hardware. You don’t want your whole network going down because you have to do some work on the server.

You can use the 3040 to build an AllStar node.

Mumble supports text chat and images too. Right click on a channel or user and select send message. There is an insert image button in the message window. I wish they would make it so you could just drag and drop an image though.

That’s pretty much it for Android currently. There are a few more choices for PC.

There is a new browser in development called Ladybird, but a stable release is still years away and they are focusing on desktop support first.
