I think that makes a lot of sense, it would be nice if they clarified if you could BYO router. My guess is you can, as long as it has a sim slot, but can’t be too sure. Make sure T-Mobile coverage is good in your area first as well

Honestly I would go for an esp32 with home assistant, get ir, Bluetooth, wtv you need, built in companion app. Remote integration has learning built in, with support for ir and recently rf

Great picks, love Breakout 71. My extra pick is ChipDefense, a short tower defense game with some cool science/tech history

And simon tatham’s puzzles is excellent.

That’s usually the case, as electric vehicles don’t pay taxes on gas which is used for roads. Basically a system to make people who drive pay for the roads (and people who drive more will pay more as well).

Have you seen the ai girlfriends/boyfriends communities? I genuinely think the rate of chatgpt induced psychosis is really high, even if it doesn’t lead to death

All Google would have to do is check what key an app is using on a user’s device and they can invalidate it. Someone made a youtube vanced 2 (not revanced)? Google can easily invalidate it for everyone using this process.

Even if I misunderstand how the key works and it’s more of a signature, it would mean that if you try to download an older app then it could fail bc the signature expired and isn’t maintained anymore. You also run into the same issue with not being renewed if Google chooses.

My point is it could effectively be a side loading killer, maybe not right away but the point of sideloading is the independence which this takes away

Depending on the services, you should be able to make a backup and restore without needing to delete the real version until you’re sure everything is working

As someone who also started proxmox fairly recently, I found that the community has these really cool scripts that you can use to get started. Obviously you’re running bash scripts on your main node for some, so there are risks involved with that but in my experience it’s been great.

I’ll share my experience with my very unprofessional but working setup.

I have two locations, both using retired PCs. I don’t need anything fancy, but some considerations could be GPU/encoding hardware if you wanted something like jellyfin/Plex. I use proxmox and proxmox backup server for managing everything and so far it’s been working well. Definitely not plug and play like an aio nas but that’s because a nas wasn’t my only goal as I needed cameras (frigate) and homeassistant.

I would highly recommend headscale/tailscale (as others have suggested) as it “just works” when setup in my experience. This enables safe remote access without opening any ports on your families networks so you can troubleshoot if something did break.

Regardless of which solution you decide to use, the most important part about having a backup is testing. If you can’t see when your backups fail or don’t know how to recover you may as well not have a backup.

I use headscale and it’s been working wonderfully for my nightly offsite backups and remote access.

I need a gif of a tungsten cube dropping from the top shelf of a vending machine and folding it in on itself

What interface is that, it looks great!

Opening a port isn’t really bad if you have your firewall configured properly. You will have to open a port either way with jellyfin or wireguard. If you have a TLS/SSL certificate then just doing jellyfin is fine (but have good passwords since it’s public facing), otherwise a VPN like wireguard will handle encryption for you.

As for managing traffic on the VPN you can follow this advice: https://serverfault.com/questions/1075973/wireguard-how-to-only-tunnel-some-of-the-traffic

Basically setup your firewall to stop extra traffic on your end, and change accessible IPs in wireguard to your service(s) so the peer knows not to talk on that interface for unrelated things.

My phone’s name is “Samsung Smart Fridge™” because I think it’s hilarious if someone is looking at hotspots or network info and go “what the hell is a fridge doing here-”

He used to mod a “jailbait” sub (as close to CSAM as you can publicly get away with) and caused the API issues and the response to the blackouts (removing mods or un-privating communities).

I’d be a moron too if I was put into a box with no bed to trade or slave away farming 24/7!

Instructions unclear, burnt my house down

I use YouTube revanced to disable them.

Can you change the color of the ad badge? I’m fine with ads, but it blends in too well :/
