• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Google takeout so bitchy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently you can save it to Google drive then download the Google drive program and make that folder available offline so it downloads it to the computer.

  1. When you setup the Google Takeout export choose Save in a Google Drive folder

  2. Install the Google Drive PC client (Drive for desktop)

  3. It will create a new drive (i.e. G:) in your explorer. Right click on the takeout folder and select “Make available offline”. All files in that folder will be downloaded by the Google Drive Desktop in the background, and you will be able to copy to another location, as they will be local files.

  Yes but the camera should be in a place that can’t be physically tampered with easily since someone could theoretically unplug the camera and plug into your home network and see all your computers or other devices as if they had stolen your WiFi password. A small risk but it’s better to hardwire it somewhere they would need a ladder to get to or get a camera system that connects to a central box inside the house.

  If you haven’t played Enderal it’s worth a playthrough. It’s a free total conversion mod of Skyrim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using a commercial desktop with an i5 Sandy bridge. I maxed out to 32Gb of ram only because I’m running trueNAS, debian with containers, and home assistant. Most RAM goes to trueNAS and trueNAS doesn’t accurately report ram. For CPU, mostly just task limited but I don’t really think thats a proxmox issue. Obviously it’s not going to support an enterprise or even small business but it works for what I need of less than 4 users on my budget.

  Proxmox doesn’t really ask for much but I probably would recommend docker for your arm devices.

  Have you checked and enabled hardware acceleration?

  Support and troubleshooting steps are dependent on your GPU and OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m happy with proxmox in a non-production environment/homeLab. Stable and straightforward.

  Just found out from your comment that windows is shutting the door completely on CPUs that don’t support POPCNT. There’s config settings to install Windows 11 on legacy hardware (old CPU, tpm chips, etc) but who knows when they’ll pull the plug on that.

  Most are designed for the cover to move to the side when deployed but some are designed to split in some way that could cause the rhinestones to come free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple Steps for Privacy on Android⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A simple thing you can do is be informed on what data google is tracking on your phone.

  If you are signed into a Google account on your phone, you should check your Google dashboard: myaccount.google.com/intro/dashboard and make sure to turn off any tracking you don’t want. You can also request your data is deleted through the dashboard or through Google takeout.

  If you stay with the built in OS and you can also get away from a Google account (don’t sign into a Google account on the phone), you’re tracked less, but that’s a bit challenging for many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do with an old laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On Android and I believe IOS it’s a single connection. I would start with the basic functionality (also don’t create a tailscale account with GitHub bc it does weird things with sharing if you ever want to have multiple users).

  Once you’ve got the VPN and storage working I can think of two options to give you the functionality of 2 vpns

  1. tasker is an android app that can let you automate a lot. It might let you switch vpns when opening say your storage app and switch back a bit easier than toggling it in settings.
  2. setup your lap-server at home with an outgoing public VPN so traffic goes mobile device> tailscale> public VPN. Essentially acting like you’re home using your public VPN. This may take some tinkering to work properly, especially when you’re home on the same network. Plus you would definitely see a Network speed impact on your phone.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do with an old laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tailscale + truenas is a simple solution that should allow OP access outside the network without any config.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPNs, self hosting & security⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I setup openvpn on my network originally + duckdns on a dynamic IP in 2021/2022. It’s an “older” protocol but I felt it was easier to setup since it’s been around longer and the tools just make it easy.

  Wireguard has speed advantages but being newer, takes more work to see those speed advantages. There’s a docker container called wg-easy that I’ve heard mixed things about (speed in a docker container vs easy to setup).

  I used tail scale when I rebuilt my VPN server because I was originally using Oracle Linux (wanted to learn it more but went back to Ubuntu).

  If you can get certificates working, wireguard shouldn’t be too difficult. I prefer VPN over exposing multiple ports/protocols for a family or small userbase. If you’re sharing libraries or other services with extended family, I’d probably expose those to the Internet and work on hardening/having that server in a demilitarized zone + certificate based authentication and MFA on any public admin accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shower cartridge should just pull straight out?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a plumber but have some diy experience. My understanding is they typically get pulled straight out. You replace the cartridge and any o rings so I wouldn’t worry too much about damaging the plastic if you already have the replacement part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨travel routers⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought the GL-AR750S a while ago and kept it stock. It’s a customized version of OpenWrt with an “advanced mode” that lets you get into what I believe is just the regular wrt configuration portal.

  I didn’t have anything that the router couldn’t do from VPN to repeating to spoofing Mac to get through cafe-style portals at hotels.

  Looking at their website, it looks like their newer models still use wrt openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/start.
