It’s not remote learning that enabled this, it’s educational institution malware.
- Comment on This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their mansion 1 week ago:
What makes this even worse is the article doesn’t mention all the money this couple saved by not paying rent for the duration of their home ownership. So not only would they make profit on the sale, they didn’t have to pay rent for all those years, and instead got to keep that money, which puts them at a much bigger financial advantage than folks who can’t afford a home in the first place.

- Comment on High Quality Offline Music - マリウス 1 week ago:
I really want to do this, but I have yet to find a self-hosted app that has the features from iTunes that I love: smart playlists (with an easy to edit interface), play stats (last played, last skipped, play counts skip count), and editable metadata (can change genres of the a song or several songs within the app).
Easily editable smart playlists would be table stakes for me. I can get by without the rest, though I’d be less happy than with iTunes.

Ok, that looks awesome. I may be using that for my next NAS build, which may come soon because my N54L is like 10 years old now.
- Comment on Budget small (ish) case for a nas. 2 weeks ago:
The node case would be so much better if they made the hard drive slots externally accessible. I see they’ve updated it so all the drives are not attached in a huge stack anymore, which seems nice. I personally found it to be a huge pain to work on, and after using it I switched to hp microservers with hot swap slots for HDDs.
But for what OP asked for, it might be the best option.

- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 2 weeks ago:
Definitely clickbait. The phrase “send texts” as it’s been used for the past quarter century means “sms texts” or maybe “text messages to other people on mobile phone networks”, which is not at all what this is.

- Comment on Tailscale friendly app dashboard 2 weeks ago:
My setup is different from yours, but maybe it’ll be a reference for something you could do.
I use WireGuard. I forward my dns over the tunnel. The dns servers are my home dns servers (pihole). Those servers resolve my host Ames to their LAN addresses. Those LAN addresses are reputable when I’m connected with WireGuard. This means I use the same IP addresses and same host Ames over vpn or locally on the LAN.

- Comment on What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think iOS allows multiple VPNs to be enabled simultaneously. There appears to be only one VPN on/off toggle switch. From what I’ve seen you can have different vpn profiles but only enable one at a time. I could be wrong though.
Desktop operating systems like macOS, Linux (did I mention yet that I use arch Linux?), BSD, and um… that other one… oh yeah, Windows do allow this. I’m sure there are a variety of compatibility problems, but in general, multiple VPNs with the same or even different technologies can work together.
- Comment on What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? 3 weeks ago:
WireGuard routes certain traffic from the client (your iPhone) through the server (the computer at your house). If you route all traffic, then when your iPhone accesses the internet, it’s as if you were at home. Since that WireGuard server is sitting on the
192.168.0.0/24subnet, it is able to route your phones traffic to anything else on that subnet.Wireguard clients have a setting called AllowedIPs that tells the client what IP subnets to route through the server. By default this is
0.0.0.0/0, ::/0, which means “all ipv4 and all ipv6 traffic”. Now, if all you want is to access your home network services, but some want all your traffic to go through your house, then you change that to192.168.0.0/24or whatever your home subnet is, and only that network will be routes to the server at your house. - Comment on What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? 3 weeks ago:
Some servers even run WireGuard :) like for instance Ubiquiti. Personally I’d rather run it on my own server though because ubiquiti doesn’t have easy IAC features.
- Comment on What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? 3 weeks ago:
.WireGuard is free. Obviously my instructions didn’t go into detail about specifically how to set everything up. Port forwarding is required. Knowing your servers external IP address is required. You also need electricity, an ISP subscription, a home server (preferably running Linux), so on and so forth. This is /c/selfhosted After all.

Run WireGuard on some home machine.
Run WireGuard on your road warrior system.
There is no step 3.
I’m doing this right now from halfway around the world from my house and it’s been great.
